Annie liebovitz shoots the best of british for marks and spencer

Superstar photographer, Annie Liebovitz, has shot a host of British talent for the latest Marks and Spencer campaign. Ellie Goulding, Tracey Emin, Laura Mvula, Helen Mirren, Grace Coddington and Karen Elson are amongst the leading ladies included in the shoot, while other featured faces include author Monica Ali, boxer Nicola Adams, Save the Children's Jasmine Whitbread, ballerina Darcy Bussell,  nurse of the year Helen Allen and model/charity campaigner Katie Piper. Phew! Celebrating the unique talents and style of each of the women, I love that everyone has kept their own identifiable style - from Grace's trademark red mass of curls to Ellie's grungy roots and Tracey's no-fuss windswept look. Serving as a reminder that all this talent - and M&S, of course - is proudly British, the shoot sees the ladies on the River Thames in front of the iconic London skyline, with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the Walkie Talkie all visible in the background. Other pictures in the campaign see the ladies posing in the countryside and in a studio - can't wait to see them plastered across billboards as of September.
