Stassie and Lisa were both pictured separately in the suit modeling revealing bodywear while doing various chores.
One of Stassie’s pictures showed her aiming a seductive glare at the camera while she sprawled over the wheel of a car and lathered it with a sponge.
In another, she enticingly held up a baking tray with a chocolate chip cookie carved into the shape of the designer’s first initial.
Todd Oldham snapped the pictures for the campaign, whose retro chic set design was masterminded by Lauren Nikrooz.

A raft of sexual assault allegations surfaced against Alexander Wang in late 2020, from cisgender men as well as transgender men and women.
Alexander was said to have groped certain accusers and to have spiked others’ drinks with MDMA without their knowledge.
In January of last year Alexander denounced the allegations as ‘grotesquely false,’ but the claims against him continued to mount.
Shortly thereafter he secretly met with 11 accusers represented by the attorney Lisa Bloom, whose mother is Gloria Allred.

Alexander wrote on Instagram that he ‘listened carefully’ to his accusers and that ‘I regret acting in a way that caused them pain.’
He noted: ‘While we disagree on some of the details of these personal interactions, I will set a better example and use my visibility and influence to encourage others to recognize harmful behaviors.’
Lisa Bloom wrote on Twitter: ‘We have met with Alexander Wang and his team. My clients had the opportunity to speak their truth to him and expressed their pain and hurt. We acknowledge Mr. Wang’s apology and we are moving forward. We have no further comment on this matter.’
She declined to comment when The Cut inquired as to whether Alexander had reached a financial settlement with her clients.

Her past clientele has included Blac Chyna and Kathy Griffin, and she also once controversially had an advisory role with Harvey Weinstein – a position she left after the #MeToo allegations against him went public.
Alexander held his first runway show since the scandal this April, with models including Candice Swanepoel, Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, all three of whom shot to fame as Victoria’s Secret Angels.
Lisa Rinna was in the audience at the show, as her younger daughter Amelia Hamlin was also one of the models on the runway.
