In the picture above, taken sometime last year, Philip Seymour Hoffman is wearing a New York Knicks hat. Imagine if, after hearing that Hoffman died, the Knicks PR department tweeted, “The Hunger Games stars are hungry for Knicks basketball, are you?” That’s more or less what Valentino did this morning.
Top designers are pouncing on the celebrity bonanza surrounding Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death by sending out photos of stars wearing their brands while paying their respects to the legendary actor.
Valentino emailed fashion bloggers and journalists on Friday morning photos of Hoffman’s The Master co-star Amy Adams wearing their Garavani Rockstud Duble bag on her way to the memorial service.
“We are pleased to announce Amy Adams carrying the Valentino Garavani Rockstud Duble bag from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection on February 6th in New York,” the release stated. It included street shots of the actress sporting their bag. It’s unclear if they set up the photo shoot. (Via)
