The BIRKENSTOCK Personality Campaign

A manifest of portraying true originals continues — the Personality Campaign is a series captured by Jack Davison, featuring Manolo Blahnik and Kristina Blahnik for Spring / Summer 2020.

BIRKENSTOCK is a universal brand, which prides itself on ideals of quality and function, health and wellbeing. Translated in its iconic footwear and orthopedic footbed since 1774.

Initiated as long-term project, the Personality Campaign series aims to portray the wearers and create genuine intimacy by maintaining photographer, Jack Davison’s ongoing format of meeting and capturing campaign faces in their chosen environment. The campaign reflects original style, with talent teaming their own Birkenstocks with items from their personal wardrobe, as opposed to focusing on seasonal product.
