Banana Republic
NYFW Campaign
I led the concept and execution of a social-first campaign for Banana Republic, featuring stylist and influencer Heather Hurst during Fall 2024 NYFW. The campaign brought the brand's fall collection to life through social-first content across social, web, and email.

Heather Hurst, a stylist and influencer, partnered with Banana Republic to launch a social-first campaign during Fall 2024 NYFW. The campaign showcased curated looks, highlighting Heather’s unique styling perspective and captured the Banana Republic's fall collection through dynamic content created for social, web, and email.
SOCIAL-FIRST MEETS OMNI-CHANNEL
The opportunity was to position Banana Republic’s Fall 2024 collection within the context of NYFW through a credible, insider perspective. Featuring a stylist actively attending and dressing for fashion week, the campaign grounded the collection in real-life styling and cultural relevance.

I began the creative direction process by developing a mood board inspired by street-style editorials, establishing a social-first, effortless aesthetic for the campaign. To push beyond a typical influencer shoot, all still imagery was captured on 35mm film. Throughout the shoot, I captured both stills and iPhone video of three curated looks across SoHo, collaborating closely with Heather to select locations that authentically reflected the NYFW experience.

I then curated and retouched all final selects, partnering with cross-functional Marketing and Editorial teams to bring the campaign to life across multiple channels, including Instagram grid and stories, email marketing, and homepage web design.

The result was a strong internal win, reinforcing the value of influencer-led, social-first storytelling. It drove an estimated 15–18% lift in click-through traffic from TikTok and Instagram, and, alongside my A Week in Chinos August Collection campaign concept, helped push a key chino style to sell out within weeks of launch.
