The platform comes to life with the launch of the Spring '25 campaign, headlined by power couple Barbara Palvin and Dylan Sprouse. Shot in New York City, the campaign captures the energy and inspiration of the city that influenced the collection.

“As we continue our journey of transformation, we wanted to collaborate with influential voices who truly embody our brand promise of confident self-expression through style,” said Joe Berean, SVP of Marketing & Creative at Express. “Barbara and Dylan represent that vision, bringing both creativity and authenticity to the launch of our new brand platform.”

Shot by Cole Sprouse—Dylan’s twin brother—the campaign highlights Barbara and Dylan’s personal style, while showcasing Express’s new collection of fashion pieces and wardrobe essentials. Together, their natural chemistry and confidence perfectly reflect the brand’s commitment to authentic self-expression.

“Being part of this campaign with Express felt natural because it celebrates individuality and self-expression—values that resonate deeply with us,” said Barbara Palvin. “Each piece in this collection is designed with comfort and confidence in mind—two key factors that influence my everyday style.”

Dylan Sprouse added, “I love the versatility of Express. From casual, everyday pieces to formal wear, they make it easy to look and feel good wherever you’re going, and that’s important to me when shopping for clothes, which is why this campaign felt like such a natural fit.”
