David Schwimmer Chases the Perfect Red Sweater in Quince’s Biggest-Ever Campaign

The online retailer’s holiday push draws on ‘90s nostalgia, comedy, and star power

Actor David Schwimmer, who stars in Quince’s new holiday campaign, “knows a thing or two about red sweaters,” vp of brand Antonieta Moreland told ADWEEK.

In season 8 of Friends, the hit ’90s sitcom he starred in, a red sweater is the clue that reveals to his character, Ross, that he’s the father of his longtime on-and-off girlfriend Rachel’s baby.

In real life, Schwimmer is also a loyal Quince customer, which made him a natural fit to appear in the online retailer’s first celebrity-fronted TV ad and the largest campaign in the brand’s seven-year history.

Launching today (Nov. 9), the campaign will run across Quince’s owned channels, social, streaming, and connected TV.
