NEW YORK, November 22, 2024 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Luxury footwear company, Stuart Weitzman, has named actor, producer, and talk show host Mark Consuelos as its first-ever global brand ambassador for the Men’s Collection. Consuelos stars in the brand’s first celebrity-fronted men’s campaign, following the collection’s launch earlier this year.
“I am thrilled to be named Stuart Weitzman’s first-ever Men’s global ambassador. I know the brand because of my wife, who has many blue shoeboxes in her closet. I’m honored to be thought of as the definition of the Stuart Weitzman man. When I told her about the campaign concept of strong, sophisticated and sexy, she encouraged me to go for it — and put all my hours in the gym to good use!” said Consuelos.

“At Stuart Weitzman, everything we do is born from our purpose of inspiring women with confidence, as well as finding meaningful ways to engage her. With our recent launch into Men’s, it was important that we chose a brand ambassador who represents a continuation of our brand’s narrative of celebrating modern womanhood. Mark famously adores and supports Kelly, and we believe there is nothing sexier than that. This campaign shines a spotlight on men just like him,” said Kaisy Mae O’Reilly, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Stuart Weitzman.
The collection is is available on stuartweitzman.com and at select retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and The Level Shoes Dubai.

NEW YORK, September 4, 2024 (Entertainment Interviews) – Luxury footwear brand Stuart Weitzman premiered its latest campaign film, "How Lovely to Be a Woman," featuring global ambassadors Aly Raisman, Christy Turlington, Issa Rae, Lucy Liu, and Ming Xi. The campaign celebrates modern womanhood by exploring the multifaceted roles and pressures women face today while highlighting their confidence and strength.
The film’s soundtrack, a remake of the song "How Lovely to Be a Woman" from the 1963 musical Bye Bye Birdie, has been reinterpreted to reclaim the original lyrics as an anthem of empowerment. Directed by Matvey Fiks, the campaign blends Stuart Weitzman’s signature black-and-white imagery with documentary-style footage, showcasing the personal and professional lives of the five ambassadors.
Aly Raisman, an advocate for mental health and abuse prevention, is featured as she steps back into the gym in her role as a gymnastics analyst. "I hope people remember me for normalizing hard and taboo topics," Raisman said, reflecting on her continued work.
Christy Turlington, founder of the non-profit Every Mother Counts, discusses her focus on maternal health activism. "I like that the campaign is about women sharing our personal stories about what it means to each of us to be a strong, confident woman today by also living a life of purpose," she explained.
Issa Rae, known for breaking barriers in media, spoke about her priorities in the campaign: "Prioritizing and building my community and opening doors for others to do the same is very important to me."
Lucy Liu is portrayed balancing her roles as an actress, artist, and mother. "I hope to be remembered for living authentically, uplifting others, and using my platform to drive positive change," Liu said, highlighting her commitment to diversity and sparking meaningful conversations.
Ming Xi discusses the challenges of balancing motherhood with a global career, noting, "It can get hard to balance work and family especially since my children are still so small, but I power through to make it work. I believe women can do it all."
The campaign also highlights Stuart Weitzman’s iconic footwear collections, including the 5050 over-the-knee boot, the STUART 100 pump, and the NUDIST II sandal. The brand’s new EMERSON Capsule collection, featuring the EMERSON BUCKLE BOOT, is also introduced.
The film was screened at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York City on September 4, where Lucy Liu joined a discussion with Lydia Fenet, author of Claim Your Confidence. The event marks the launch of the "Stuart Weitzman Stand Strong Series: Conversations About the Pleasures and Pressures of Modern Womanhood."
