I have honestly not come across a cuter fashion campaign than the Me & City ads--at least, not for this year. Starring heartthrob actor Orlando Bloom and model guru Agyness Deyn, it portrays them as a young Hollywood couple.
Photographed by Terry Richardson, Bloom and Deyn are an effortless couple in the Me & City ads, so much so that it actually looks as though the paparazzi captured them in real life instead of the whole thing being staged. Too cute for words.
