SAINT International sensation, Aurelie Giraud, is bidding farewell to 2023 in style with a holiday advertising campaign for the renowned French luxury brand, Berluti.

Residing in Paris, she joins an international ensemble of model peers in the captivating campaign titled, ‘Les Passe-Temps’ or ‘The Pastimes,’ expertly photographed by James Harvey-Kelly. The stunning visuals were captured back in September at the enchanting Courgent Castle in north-central France.

“It was my first time shooting with the Berluti brand, although I had worked with the shoot’s stylist Benoit Martinengo before on the Fforme Fall/Winter 2023 lookbook earlier this year in New York,” Giraud shared.

The SAINT Martinican model shares the spotlight with an international line-up, including South Korean Taemin Park, Dane Mathias Lauridsen, English-Irishman Finnlay Davis, and Lithuanian Viktorija Bauzyte, in the vibrant visuals for Berluti’s holiday ads.

The festive scenes unfold in a series of captivating vignettes, skillfully capturing what the brand describes as “the essence of goodwill and the art of leisure”.

Giraud shared that she is happy with the results that debuted internationally in late November.

“I love the spirit it captures of shared special moments with members of the ensemble I worked with, plus I enjoyed shooting the dancing scenes with Finnlay for the videos. It was lots of fun, especially getting into character for the small acting scenes in between,” she said.

“Although Berluti is more a menswear brand, I appreciate their savoir-faire as it’s all handmade leather and excellent textiles,” the SAINT Martinican model added.

The luxury men’s brand was founded in Paris in 1895 by bootmaker Alessandro Berluti. Today, the label retails ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, wallets, belts, and bags with leather finishes of calfskin, alligator skin, and kangaroo leather. Berluti will also design the uniforms of the French national teams for the Olympic Games opening ceremony next summer in Paris.

Within the last year, Giraud has signed to Premier and Select Model agencies in Europe, Elite Models in North America, and D Model agency in Athens.

She was also the global campaign face for Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat Le Teint makeup line and shot Studio 83’s ‘Say My Name’ summer campaign in Greece. Additionally, she landed gigs for e-commerce collections for Hugo Boss in Germany and English luxury brand Boden in London.

Giraud said that the gig for Boden in London was a high point for the Caribbean beauty as it was a family project with her daughter, Lou.

“This was extra special because it was the first time she shot a mom and daughter campaign and also her first trip with me to London,” she shared.

She added that her 2024 resolution is to restart her YouTube channel and continue to grow as a model as she seeks to invest in a happy life for herself and her daughter.
