Zendaya's Latest Smartwater Campaign With the Help of British Fashion Council Is Marketing Genius

by Otonye Senibo


Zendaya, the stunning American actress and singer, has captivated audiences on the silver screen and dazzled us with breathtaking looks on the red carpet.


In June 2022, Zendaya took on a new role as the Global Ambassador for smartwater, transforming the perception of hydration into a stylish and luxurious experience through her charismatic presence.



Last year's campaign, "Keeping it Smart," celebrated individuals unafraid to break free from conventions while addressing global water crises. Beginning in Zendaya's hometown of Oakland, California, the campaign partnered with the Global Water Challenge's "Women for Water" initiative, striving to ensure clean water access for every woman and her community.


As the face of smartwater, Zendaya embraces her role with flair, demonstrating how fashion and hydration seamlessly intertwine. Drawing inspiration from smartwater's logo, colors, and the element of water itself, Zendaya effortlessly showcases fashion-forward looks crafted by emerging designers such as Chet Co, Conner Ives, Di Petsa, Nensi Dojaka, and Aaron Esh, in collaboration with the British Fashion Council.


Nensi Dojaka, winner of the LVMH Prize for Young Designers in 2021, stands among a cohort of London-based emerging fashion designers who have created exclusive outfits for Zendaya's latest smartwater campaign. 


This talented group of designers has lent their innovative perspectives to Zendaya's campaign, infusing it with fresh creativity and fashion brilliance.


In her debut campaign, Zendaya wore a simple white top, exuding effortless elegance. For the second edition, smartwater joined forces with the British Fashion Council's talent support platform, Newgen, elevating the campaign's fashion credibility to new heights. 


Collaborating with these visionary designers allowed smartwater to weave together the worlds of hydration and haute couture in a mesmerizing symphony.


The collaborative effort resulted in captivating designs that not only enhance Zendaya's allure but also amplify the connection between fashion and hydration. Celebrity stylist Law Roach, a notable figure in the fashion realm, handpicked all designers involved in the project, ensuring a harmonious blend of creativity and style.


In the main campaign film, Zendaya graced the screen wearing a bespoke flowy blue dress designed by Newgen alumni Nensi Dojaka, drawing inspiration from her line's fall 2023 collection. 


Additionally, Zendaya sported water-inspired creations by Conner Ives and Chet Lo, embodying the fluidity and grace of water itself.


This brilliant collaboration goes beyond fashion; it's a statement of artistry, innovation, and the seamless integration of style into everyday experiences. smartwater and Zendaya have not only redefined hydration but also forged a bond between fashion and beverages that is both inspiring and enchanting.

Eurydice’s Last Words

by Kate Bradley I do not want to return To sit in the stalls, Of an empty black box Strewn with petals Leave the ghost light on, Let it shine like a call home, But I will not come back To turn it off alone. I learn this as we walk Our ever so solemn path Our thudding funeral march, You think we’re going back. As I trace my old steps, I fear of the day When the symphony swells, And I land my gaze On you, yet you will be Enraptured by the sound, If you did twist To turn around, You would not see me. So I am not sorry, I speak out into the empty air And I am not sorry. “Turn Around.” You do, you look You think  I fall But I run on, Arms wide open To fall in love With it all “Perhaps she was the one who said, ‘Turn around.” On the X45 bus, back from the Tyneside Cinema, I wrote a poem entitled “Eurydice’s Final Words”, after having seen “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”.  That poem was terrible, so I wrote a new one, as my response to the beautifully poignant film.  In one scene, Héloïse, an 18

Single Review: ‘Tell Me’ - Jay Moussa-Mann

by Ilana Hawdon The feeling of pure betrayal and heartbreak is perfectly captured in Jay Moussa-Mann’s latest single, ‘Tell Me’. Jay Moussa-Mann is the folk dream we have been waiting for. A favourite on BBC Introducing, Radio 6 and BBC Radio Tees, Jay ’s sound is easy on the ears but delightfully addictive. With a background in writing and film, she began her solo musical venture when she released her debut album, ‘Little Deaths’ in late-2019, and since then, Moussa-Mann has defined herself as an artist with unbelievable range and promise.    ‘Tell Me’ is completely timeless; with notes of Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Moussa-Mann creates a folk-inspired track which is simultaneously heart wrenching and strangely empowering. Beginning as a simple guitar tune, ‘Tell Me’ builds with layers of luscious strings and twinkling piano, tied together with Jay ’s vocal line which is equal parts melancholic and divine. The song feels unwaveringly intimate; the lyrics ask, ‘what was I worth?’
