French haute couture house Givenchy and its creative director Riccardo Tisci have quickly become the talk of the fashion world following the announcement of the brand's Spring-Summer 2014 brand ambassador: the infinitely charismatic American singer-songwriter, record producer and actress, Erykah Badu.

The first two images from the Spring-Summer 2014 campaign were unveiled on Givenchy's brand new Instagram account, showing the forty-something Badu in a striped long dress and a tribal-inspired tunic.

The campaign, which will soon be presented in its entirety, was shot by famous fashion photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Erykah Badu, who has released six studio albums, is already a familiar face in the world of fashion and beauty. She lent her charismatic charm to Tom Ford fragrances for two campaigns in 2008 and 2009.
