Belfast breakout star Jude Hill has become the new face of a New York-based designer’s luxurious childrenswear range.
This year’s Critics Choice Award winner for best young actor, 11-year-old Hill and his accent stole hearts in Kenneth Branagh’s Academy Award winner “Belfast.” His performance has attracted attention from Thom Browne, who has cast him to model his spring childrenswear range.
The Thom Browne campaign was shot by Cass Bird and imagines Hill in a series of cinematic moments alongside a young girl and one of the brand’s most visible symbols — Hector, the silhouette of a wire-haired dachsund, who happens to be a giant. Browne himself also makes a cameo.
