Emporio Armani launches its new touchscreen Connect Smartwatch and Shawn Mendes is the face of the campaign.

The Canadian singer stars in a series of images by photographer Sabine Villiard. Front and center, Shawn shows off Emporio Armani’s casual and formal sides. He also connected with the Italian label recently for its spring-summer 2018 men’s show.

Shawn Mendes embodies the Emporio Armani values with his innovative style, making him the perfect #EAConnected smartwatch ambassador.

“I am convinced that there cannot be technology without passion, or progress without emotion. Shawn Mendes is a very talented musician who touches the hearts of his fans around the world. He speaks to many more than just today’s youth, because he is authentic. That is why I chose him to be the face of this innovative line of smartwatches, conceived through the union between state-of-the-art technology and detailed design,” explains Giorgio Armani.

Revealed alongside the Emporio Armani menswear show in Milan, the campaign features Shawn Mendes in a simple and minimalist decor. The stills were shot by photographer Sabine Villiard and the video was filmed by director Alex Courtes in Toronto, the singer’s hometown.
