DUBAI: Model Mona Tougaard posed for Marc Jacobs’s Fall 2025 campaign, showcasing the brand’s new Cristina Satchel bag.
In the photos shared on Instagram, Tougaard, who has Danish, Turkish, Somali and Ethiopian roots, was seen wearing a sleek black halter-neck dress with tall black boots, accessorizing with the statement bag.
The Cristina Satchel is a structured yet slouchy shoulder bag crafted in olive-green leather, featuring a gathered top, gold hardware, a front lock closure and dangling key charms.
Also featured in the campaign is American actress and model Diana Silvers, who appears in other pictures wearing the tote version of the bag.
Tougaard has become a familiar face at Marc Jacobs, appearing in both runway shows and brand imagery. Last year, she fronted the Fall 2024 eyewear launch titled “The Sunglasses.”
Tougaard started her modeling career in 2017 after winning the Elite Model Look Denmark competition at the age of 15. Since then, she has become a prominent figure in the fashion industry, known for her work with top designers and luxury brands including Prada, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel and Valentino.
The model has had a busy year this year.
She starred in a Versace campaign in February.
She was seen on video reclining on a deep orange sofa, her hair styled in a sleek, straight look with blunt bangs.
She wore a two-piece ensemble combining various textures and patterns. A lilac-toned sequined crop-top featured delicate yellow floral embroidery, thin straps and a plunging neckline. The skirt, in rich brown satin, had an intricate overlay of cream floral lace.
During New York Fashion Week, also in February, she graced the runway for Tory Burch Fall/Winter 2025 show.
She sported a look in rich navy, including a shaggy-textured coat draped over matching velvet pants. A structured scarf was wrapped around her shoulders, secured with a gold pin. The look was completed with glossy pointed-toe shoes and she carried a slouchy black leather handbag with soft folds and a long strap.
In January, she was part of the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, when she wore a halter-neck dress with a sheer, form-fitting bodice that transitioned into a voluminous skirt with meticulously folded fabric.
