Bar Refaeli commented, "The Rampage line is comfortable and the cuts are very feminine.  It always fits perfectly to the curves of a woman's body - I have curves and I feel really good in it!"

The fall campaign will debut in September issues of fashion and lifestyle magazines such as Elle, Lucky and Cosmopolitan as well as be featured on outdoor advertising and online at fashion and lifestyle websites.

Bar is sweet, young, sexy and beautiful just like our Rampage customer. We look forward to a wonderful partnership."

The Rampage campaign was shot by famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon at an estate in Los Angeles.  Refaeli wears Rampage clothing, accessories, intimates and footwear in a variety of set ups from posing seductively in lingerie to a more innocent playful stance in sportswear for the campaign.  The campaign was created by the Iconix in-house marketing team.
