MANILA, Philippines - Marks and Spencer’s Autograph autumn-winter 2011 campaign features hot Hollywood celebrities Ryan Reynolds and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the collection’s chic and stylish pieces.

Shot in London’s elite St. Pancras Hotel by BAFTA awardee Greg Williams, Green Lantern’s Ryan and Transformers’ Rosie posed for understated pictures with an almost melancholic vibe. The pair was chosen for their beauty and aura of glamour and modern sophistication.

Sultry preppies: Ryan and Rosie work Marks & Spencer’s Autograph cardigans.

“I was thrilled when M&S asked me to be in their campaign and Rosie was a pleasure to work with,” Ryan said. “I’m from Canada and grew up with the M&S brand. Going to an M&S store with my family or friends always gives me a pang of nostalgia. Autograph is a modern take on the classic style I love and feel most comfortable wearing. The pieces in this collection are lasting staples that’ll never go out of style.”

Adds Rosie: “I am extremely excited to be working with M&S on the new Autograph autumn 2011 campaign. I feel proud to be associated with a British high-street favorite that holds fond memories for so many people, particularly the Autograph brand. The collection is sophisticated, elegant and effortless, which I hope to embody in my own personal style.”

“It’s a very different campaign for M&S as it’s the first time that we have focused on one of our brands in this way,” said Steve Sharp, M&S executive director. “We are proud of the result — a set of truly stunning photographs that truly encapsulate the Autograph brand.”

Dapper gent: “The pieces in this collection are lasting staples that’ll never go out of style,” Reynolds says.
