Revisiting Moet & Chandon's original advertising campaign that introduced Scarlett Johansson as the brand's first celebrity ambassador, Walker's new photographs bring to life the rich heritage and savoir-faire of the world's leading champagne.
"Moet & Chandon, the most loved champagne since 1743, is a universal symbol of joie de vivre and success. This new campaign highlights a return to the immutable elegance and glamour that are inherent to both Moet and Scarlett" said Moet & Chandon President & CEO Daniel Lalonde.
Shot on occasion of Moet & Chandon's "Tribute to Heritage" celebration in September 2010, the campaign's three visuals depict Johansson at Trianon, an impressive residence built by Jean- Remy's Moet between 1805-1817 on the Moet & Chandon Estate in Epernay, France. Combining extravagant staging with romantic motifs, the images reflect Walker's signature style.
In the first image, Johansson holds in hand a bottle of Moet, which she looks upon with warmth and sensuality, evoking the brand's allure.
In the second image, a time-lapse photograph sequence of five spontaneous images captures the star's playful smiles and casual gestures, revealing her extraverted nature.
In the third image, Johansson perches precariously on a wooden ladder in one of the Trianon salons, above a generous champagne cascade - a grand gesture invented by Moet, reflecting the brand's characteristic joy of accomplishment...and accomplishment of joy.
The campaign includes print, outdoor and online advertising.
