NEW YORK, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Lord and Taylor will present innovative video exhibitions showcasing images of its 2008 Spring advertising campaign within the central fountain inside the main tent at Bryant Park during the upcoming New York Fashion Week, a first for a department store. The exhibition will be a display of LED monitors surrounding the fountain featuring Lord and Taylor brand imagery, alternating with live feeds from the American Designer's shows throughout the week.

Created by the Lipman agency led by David Lipman and shot by Mario Testino, Lord and Taylor's campaign will appear in the March issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair, W, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Town & Country, Cookie, In Style, Interview and GQ. In addition, eye-catching billboards and kiosks will be placed in Boston and Philadelphia, as well as in railroad stations in Lord and Taylor markets throughout the Northeast.

The Spring 2008 campaign continues to portray Lord and Taylor's unapologetically classic style, updated with a cool modern attitude. It features a multigenerational cast of celebrities that include models Carolyn Murphy, Lauren Hutton, Gary Jarvis, Liya Kebede, Jason Shaw, Erin Heatherton, Abbey Lee, Kelsey Tuttle, Martin Landgreave, Garrett Neff, Leif Stacey, Zach Ferry, Oraine Barret, Simon Nessman, as well as the children of such pop culture personalities as Liberty Ross, Tatjana Patitz and Amy Fleetwood.

"We were so excited with the buzz created by our stunning branding campaign this Fall," says Jane Elfers, Lord and Taylor's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The positive reaction from the media, the retail industry and the public demonstrated that we are our customers' favorite store."

David Lipman, Chairman of Lipman, says, "Lord and Taylor and I have a long history, starting at a young age when my grandmother would take me on her personal shopping soirees. That was 46 years ago. I am thrilled to be a part of the rebranding of an amazing institution filled with such a wonderful legacy." A leading branding and integrated advertising agency, Lipman has recently produced noteworthy campaigns for David Yurman, BCBG and Diane Von Furstenberg among others, and is continuously sought out for fashion, film and music projects for its unique point of view and state-of-the art marketing approach.

The Lipman campaign for Lord and Taylor debuted last Fall, showcasing the results of Elfers' commitment to upgrading merchandise assortments, in-store services and amenities, brand packaging and the total overhaul of its media mix, as the store reinvents itself for the 21st Century while upholding its 182 year history.
