“Our fall campaign and back-to-school collection—featuring Ne(X)t Level
jeans at the core—is setting standards for innovation, style, fit and
quality,” said Chad Kessler, American Eagle Global Brand President.
“This fall we are delivering a curated assortment of great fashion to
inspire our customers to take what we make, and make it their own.”
The Ne(X)t Level Jeans Campaign includes:
-
#AExME: This fall, the platform will introduce 12 real customers,
including an AE store associate, who were photographed in environments
that reflected music and creativity. Shot and filmed in and around
Nashville and Detroit, each cast member shares their individual
stories and style in the back-to-school collection.
-
Make Moves Video: The freedom to move in your jeans
without compromising style, or self, is the theme of AE’s inspiring Make
Moves video. Set to Kendrick Lamar’s DNA and shot
across the U.S. by French cinematographer, Mathieu Plainfosse, the
dynamic video captures real customers expressing how they move through
daily life in AE Ne(X)t Level jeans. The
diverse cast reflects varied backgrounds, genders, sizes and passions,
and highlights the spirit that drives youth culture.
-
#AExME Artists: AE has teamed up with Universal Music Group and Brands
(UMGB), the brand’s strategy division of Universal Music Group (UMG),
to identify a select group of some of today’s hottest emerging acts.
#AExME Artists include Bea
Miller, Bibi
Bourelly, Jade
Bird, Lewis
Capaldi, and Trinidad
Cardona. A digital content series will document each artist’s
journey giving viewers insight into their musical aspirations. Each
artist will be integrated into the campaign wearing AE jeans.
-
#AEJeans Made For You: Embracing the uniqueness of all
bodies and recognizing that no two customers wear their jeans the same
way, the brand will introduce its #AEJeans Made For You denim
guide for men and women. The digital guide will
celebrate diverse body shapes and highlight how its range of sizes are
made to move and make the customer feel their best.
-
Rock the Vote T-Shirt Design Contest: Building upon AE’s
continued partnership with Rock the Vote, a nationwide t-shirt design
contest was launched to ask customers to express how they drive change
through art. Four customer designs will be produced and sold online
and at select stores starting September 21. One hundred percent of
sales will benefit Rock the Vote.
