We aren’t sure this fashion campaign will help us mourn the loss (or potential loss) of Jon Snow, but it does make us look forward to next spring’s Season 6 Game of Thrones premiere.

Gwendoline Christie, better known as Brienne of Tarth to GoT fans, stars in a fashion designer Vivienne Westwood’s Fall 2015 campaign, entitled “Unisex.” The line is more than a title; it represents a strong influence of androgyny that will be found in Westwood’s collection.

“In this collection the same suit can be worn by a man and a woman, then I realized Gwendoline would be perfect and would fit the clothes,” Westwood says in a release.

Described as "a really interesting woman" by Vivienne, Gwendoline Christie was the perfect choice for our #AW1516 campaign.

The spooky ads, which were taken backstage at the designer’s Fall 2015 show in Paris, feature Christie decked in coats, eccentric hats, a dark evening gown and dramatic makeup.

The designer believed Christie would be a match for her new campaign after the actress made a surprise appearance in March at Westwood’s runway presentation.

“It is so relevant for Vivienne Westwood to reassert their activist mindset and create a collection that takes us beyond our current gender stereotypes with beauty and intelligence,” Christie explains in a release.

The line is just one of the latest in the fashion industry’s gender fluidity movement, and Christie is completely on board.
