J.Crew's latest brand campaign features an unlikely trio of ambassadors: Ben Marshall, Martin Herlihy and John Higgins, the comedy group known as Please Don't Destroy, according to Glossy's Fashion Briefing. The campaign reflects a broader trend of 'Saturday Night Live' stars becoming mainstays in fashion marketing, as brands seek personalities with built-in cultural relevance and comedic appeal. For J.Crew, the partnership places the retailer in front of younger, entertainment-attuned audiences as it works to sharpen its brand image.
