Winona Ryder and Burberry on the Fashion Frontline

Fashion Frontline brings another fashion, entertainment and lifestyle update!

At 42, Winona Ryder is the face of premium denim brand Rag & Bone’s Fall 2014 collection. The actress, who has starred in a host of edgy films since the 1980s, is shot in gritty black and white for the label’s womenswear campaign. Brand director Marcus Wainwright says Ryder was chosen for her “beautiful, timeless quality.’’ He added, “To us, Winona Ryder is a bona-fide icon. One of the things that makes her so cool is that although she has this incredible career, she isn’t interested in being a movie star. For her it’s all about the craft.”

Last week the Institutional Voting Information Service, a shareholder advisory group, issued an amber warning ahead of the shareholders’s general meeting.
