The Power of a Viral Moment: Andy Cohen's Unexpected Modeling Gig
In a surprising turn of events, Bravo's Andy Cohen has landed a spot in Mackage's spring ad campaign, thanks to a viral moment that caught the attention of the brand's CEO, Tanya Golesic. But here's where it gets interesting...
It all started when Cohen hosted CNN's New Year's Eve Live, sporting a Mackage blue puffer jacket that quickly became an online sensation. Little did he know, this fashion choice would lead to an unexpected phone call from Golesic herself.
"I saw you in our jacket on New Year's Eve. I need you in a campaign," Golesic declared. Cohen, taken aback by the offer, agreed without hesitation. But the question on his mind was, "How did she even get my number?"
Fast forward a couple of days, and Cohen found himself on set, ready to model for Mackage's spring collection. However, he was in for a surprise. Instead of his beloved blue puffer, they presented him with a range of lightweight spring jackets. Cohen, slightly confused, exclaimed, "I thought they only made puffers!"
Among the looks Cohen showcased was the Hayes jacket, crafted from double-faced wool with a natural drape. This spring collection, rooted in "Aesthetics That Protect," aims to showcase Mackage's versatility beyond the traditional puffer jackets.
Mackage, in a recent Instagram post, revealed that this campaign is one of many for the spring season, with plans to run across social media, digital ads, and email marketing. Last month, they unveiled another spring campaign titled "Oasis," featuring Stella Maxwell and actor Matt Bomer.
Golesic explained her choice of Cohen for the campaign, saying, "Andy's understanding of audience and storytelling made him an easy choice. We're excited to highlight that Mackage's strength extends into spring."
And as for Cohen's number, Golesic playfully added, "I've always had his number!"
