Tiffany & Co. features same-sex couple in engagement ad

Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co. has made history with its new engagement campaign.

Along with a slew of professional models, the jewelry giant's campaign also features a same-sex, real-life couple. This campaign marks the first time Tiffany & Co. has featured a same-sex couple in an advertising campaign.

While the names of the two men featured in the campaign imagery have not been released, Fashionista confirmed that the New Yorkers are dating in real life, which makes the campaign picture even more adorable.

Professional models Andreea Diaconu, Joséphine Le Tutour, Luca Gadjus and Cora Emmanuel also appear in the campaign.

In January 2014, Barneys New York made headlines after featuring 17 transgender men and women in its spring 2014 ad campaign. Additionally, the retailer enlisted the help of Vanity Fair's Patricia Bosworth to interview each model who appeared in the Bruce Weber-shot campaign.

"Our goal was to convey the strength, beauty and courage of these extraordinary individuals through the iconic photographs and films of Bruce Weber, as well as the insightful writing of Patricia Bosworth," Barneys creative director Dennis Freedman said in a statement.

"Great progress has been made in regards to the lesbian, gay and bisexual community. Unfortunately, the struggle for transgender equality continues. In the end, it is our hope that that we can make a difference through this campaign."

Other brands and retailers, such as Gap, Banana Republic and J. Crew, have also featured same-sex couples in ad campaigns and other promotional materials.
