    Movado launches ‘When I Move You Move’ campaign with new global ambassadors

    Mumbai: Movado has announced its new roster of brand ambassadors starring in ‘When I Move You Move,’ the brand’s new global campaign featuring legendary and emerging icons in acting, music, sports, and business. The campaign features actress and entrepreneur Jessica Alba, Academy Award winner Julianne Moore, Grammy-winning rapper and actor Ludacris, Pro Bowl running back Christian McCaffrey, and All-Star point guard and Olympic gold medalist Tyrese Haliburton.

    “We are proud of our multi-year partnership with this roster of amazing talent across culture and entertainment and to feature them in our 2024-2025 global brand campaign,” said Movado Group chairman and CEO Efraim Grinberg. “It was important to us that we aligned with individuals that truly represent Movado’s legacy of innovation, commitment to excellence, and iconic design. This campaign has  an incredible amount of energy and movement that is dynamic and makes you feel connected to  Movado.”

    Movement was the inspiration for this campaign – as it’s the key component of the brand’s DNA, with  Movado meaning “always in motion” in Esperanto, a language created in 1887 to break down communications barriers. The talent is captured moving to and interacting with Ludacris’ 2003 #1 Billboard and Grammy-nominated song “Stand Up.” The chorus “when I move you move” is a call to action for people to express their full potential by doing what truly moves them.

    Movado partnered with creative director Robert Lussier from The Style Council and global fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott to come up with the vision. The styling was done by celebrity stylist Mel Ottenberg and choreographed by movement director Stephen Galloway.

    “Over the last year, we’ve embarked on a journey to take our brand to new heights by developing a culturally relevant campaign that moves you – that literally makes you want to get up and move,” said Movado president Margot Grinberg. “Our goal is to be disruptive and stand out – do something unexpected that will make you stop and want to see more from Movado. It will keep our brand top of  mind and engage new audiences globally.”

    The “When I Move You Move” campaign features watches across key families, where each icon wears specific pieces that align with their unique and personal style.

    The campaign will be featured throughout the year across television, digital and print media including magazines, out-of-home, and across all social media platforms.

  • Star World to air Kanye West concert

    Star World to air Kanye West concert

    MUMBAI: Controversial, obnoxious, gifted, brash. American pop star Kanye West has been called many names, but he’s never been called safe or boring.

    A hip-hop producer and songwriter, he has already won six Grammy Awards for just two albums, two years in a row. Star World will air his concert tonight 29 March at 9 pm.
    He burst onto the scene as a singer-songwriter a couple of years ago. In this special, he once again approaches old music with new arrangements.

    Backed by an all-female 17-piece orchestra in an intimate gig at London’s famous Abbey Road studios, he belts out songs from his albums College Dropout and Late Registration, but with a twist. It also features special guest, neo-soul singer/pianist John Legend. Viewers can also check out West’s superstar friends in the audience, like Jay-Z & Beyoncé.

    Drawing from musical influences as diverse as Franz Ferdinand to classical music, West counts Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, Janet Jackson, Ludacris, Prodigy, Mariah Carey and Mos Def among his collaborators, whether as a producer or as a songwriter. His own record label, G.O.O.D. (Getting Out Our Dreams) Music has already signed acts like Common and John Legend – both of whom earned Grammy nominations alongside him this year.

    He once posed in a crown of thorns as Jesus on the cover of Rolling Stone. He has also been quoted saying, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” on American television in a Hurricane Katrina benefit. He is not afraid to speak out against hip-hop’s discrimination against homosexuals, and rant about political correctness.
