Amanda Seyfried’s Givenchy Deal: Amanda Seyfried has been announced as the new face of Givenchy’s Very Irresistible fragrance, replacing outgoing spokesmodel Liv Tyler. “It’s an honest collaboration,” Seyfried told WWD of her new gig. “I’m proud to be a part of [the brands I’m involved with] because what they do is really cool, especially Givenchy—they’re so artistic. And I feel like I have a foot in the fashion industry now.” Seyfried has become a fan of the brand in recent years, appearing front row at its fashion show and wearing one of its gowns to perform at the Academy Awards. The campaign, which includes both print and TV spots, will bow in October. [WWD]
