Freja Beha Erichsen for Valentina Assoluto Ad Campaign

Freja Beha Erichsen Valentina Assoluto 2012 ad c
Freja Beha Erichsen for Valentina Assoluto by Valentino Ad Campaign

“This perfume is a real creation,” said Olivier Cresp of Firmenich, the nose who worked on both Valentina (with Alberto Morillas) and Valentina Assoluto. Instead of starting off with the same olfactive group and changing a few ingredients, he chose an entirely different olfactive family — chypre — and then developed a bridge to the original fragrance. Valentina Assoluto, he said, is “much more nocturnal, more seductive,” than Valentina.

The campaign visual sees Freja Beha Erichsen return, this time being more absorbed in a private moment linking the fragrance to the concept of being more intimate and more haute couture. Photographed by David Sims (who shot the original campaign) at the historical Villa Parisi which is full of secret places, hidden behind the facades of the ancient aristocratic palazzos.
The fragrance bottle retains the gently rounded, ethereal shape of the original, but this time it is made of brown opaline glass with amber reflections. A single, pale pink rose graces the front, while the cap is in copper and topped with a black pearl.


Paris Fashion Week 2013 Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2013


Paris Fashion Week 2013
PRINCE PHILIP rocks our boat . We couldn't get the image of him as a young, dashing naval officer out of our heads while watching Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2013 menswear caravan go. You could attribute it to the Diamond Jubilee euphoria, but for some reason, we believe the Duke of Edinburgh was up there with the best of them on Kim Jones' inspiration wall. 

By no means are we implying nostalgia. Dapper tailoring, clever in the way the double-breasted blazers were roundly cut in the front, was presented in midnight blue, camel and grey hues, before exploding in light graphite blue overcoats and scorching fluoro yellow anoraks.
The maritime vibe came in waves: first with an anchor, caught between the monogrammed initials LV, then as a water-resistant life jacket in black and finally with those ropey sandals.

It was the clever accessorising that made us gasp for air - we like to think of this as the fashion equivalent to free-diving. The oversized rucksacks in discrete orange and yellow detailing were great, so were the smallish, rectangular hard-cased boxes in the signature LV check. Once again, pendants were protruding from blazer pockets, rocking left and right as the models walked down the runway.
The Queen's consort might have been put off by the more daring neoprene scuba diving suits at the end, but there you have it - you can't please every sailor. We're lucky enough to have Jones steering the ship.

Kate Moss for Salvatore Ferragamo Fall Winter 2012-2103 Ad Campaign


salvatore ferragamo kate moss 2013 2012 fall win

Kate Moss and Karmen Pedaru front Salvatore Ferragamo’s fall campaign, delivering the collection’s rigorous, military style that is combined with softer romantic elements. Photographed by Mikael Jansson in the sumptuous Russian embassy in Berlin with its antique tapestries and ornate furniture, the images reflect creative director Massimiliano Giornetti’s Czarist Russian inspiration this season. Moss is seen lying on a gilded, green leather dormeuse, Pedaru is captured standing in front of an antique painting, while Sean O’Pry poses against “a geometrical play of mirrors and fabrics that recreate fairy tale palaces,” said the company, embodying a “refined and cosmopolitan man.”

Paris Fashion Week 2013 Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2013, Menswear


Raf Simons headlined day one of the Paris menswear shows on Wednesday, sending out an urbane, playful look that showed a lot of leg, days before his hotly-waited debut as the top designer at Dior.
All but a handful of the Belgian designer's looks were built around bermuda shorts cut high on the thigh, and slashed at one side, paired with clean white shirts and single-breasted jackets, black patent brogues or sneakers.
Boxy white tunics or art-print T-shirts added to the contemporary feel of the collection -- at odds with the nostalgic, post-war inspiration behind many of the looks on the Milan catwalks last week and elsewhere in Paris on Wednesday.
Coats came in flower-prints, ultralight raincoats in pink or orange, while suits were dove grey or navy, with splashes of emerald and violet, a handful of slim cigarette pants and wide-legged ones thrown in with the shorts.
The colour scheme was muted at first, all blacks, whites, greys, midnight blue and forest green, eventually blossoming into spring with a staggering short pink marshmallow bomber jacket, tangerine, grapefruit and copper vibes, until a colourful floral yellow and blue motif spread on collars, elongated shirts and light overcoats.
An abstract approach to portraiture was detectable in a sleeveless shirt-dress, resurfacing memories of both Picasso’s deconstructed figures and Kandinsky’s treatment of colour.


 

Dolce & Gabbana Launches Haute Couture





Today Dolce & Gabbana confirmed rumours that it will create a small couture collection for the first time, to be showed July 9th to a group of clients in Taormina, Sicily.


The unveiling will take place far from the classic couture environs of Paris; the eye of the Chambre Syndicale, the governing body of the French couture tradition; and the fashion media. The choice is strategic, for a number for reasons:
1. It maintains the very exclusive, private allure of the couture;
2. It allows Dolce & Gabbana to avoid the stringent requirements the French couture world imposes on any brand that wants to call itself a full-fledged couture house;
3.  It gives them a chance to launch their first collection free of critics, who might not like it!
Apparently a select few — three — media outlets are being invited to the unveiling, but no American newspapers, and not this one.
Still (no sour grapes here!) it’s interesting that Dolce & Gabbana, which closed it’s lower-priced D&G line last year in order to concentrate on its main line, would choose to, effectively, trade-up to couture.

Jil Sander Mens Spring Summer 2013 Full Fashion Show


jil sander 2013 spring summer mens fashion show

Back to purism, pure and simple. Returning to her namesake brand after an eight-year absence, house founder Jil Sander swept aside the often experimental ways of her acclaimed successor Raf Simons (now the couturier at Christian Dior in Paris) and plied her signature minimalist tailoring. The collection was crisp, graphic and youthful - and the men's wear crowd issued a cheer when the shy German designer briefly emerged for a bow behind a scrim of white columns.


She opened her brisk show with a sleeveless navy frock coat over a white, short-sleeved nerd shirt and shorts, setting her main agenda: Plays on proportion, and a mix of formal and sporty. Tailored jackets and macs were either trim and elongated, or abbreviated and flaring. Trousers came slim, cuffed and cropped well above the ankle, while low-slung board shorts were cut in suiting fabrics.

dolce gabbana 2013 spring summer mens gipsy fash

The Dolce&Gabbana Summer 2013 collection has been presented during a fashion show featuring Sicilian men, personally chosen by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in lieu of models. The personality, simplicity and natural beauty which emanates from the faces of those men is a current source of inspiration for Dolce&Gabbana.


Wool or linen gauze layered with organza or veil. Souvenir style prints reminiscent of Sicily and of traditional Sicilian barrow, "pupi" (typical Sicilian puppets) and temples. White shirts with open collars. Printed stripes on thik hem cloth or cotton inspired by the Sicilian beaches such as those of Taormina, Cefalù, Mondello and the Eolie island. Open shoes that recall sandals and shoes made of cloth.

Mulberry Fall Winter 2012-2013 Ad Campaign | Lindsey Wixson by Tim Walker


mulberry ad campaign fall winter 2012 2013 Linds

Mulberry’s fall ad campaign could well be a first for the industry: a cross between the Muppets and “Grimm’s Fairy Tales.” The brand hauled in two giant furry beasts with claws to appear alongside model Lindsey Wixson. She is wearing looks from the fall collection and carrying — at various points during her forest trek — the Del Rey, Maisie and the new embellished Alexa bags.

Shot by Tim Walker in Blackheath Forest in Surrey, England, the campaign was inspired by creative director Emma Hill’s themes of dark fairy tales and fantasy travels. “The campaign is an interpretation of dreams and fears,” said Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, who art directed the campaign with her company, House + Holme. Walker said: “Ever since I was a little boy, I hoped to see a monster in the woods. Now, we all get to.” The campaign will break in The New York Times on June 24, and then in the August issue of U.S. and U.K. Vogue.

Prada Menswear Fall Winter 2012-2013 FULL Ad Campaign | Gary Oldman, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell and Willem Dafoe

Prada Mens Fall Winter 2012 2013 Ad Campaign 1

Gary Oldman, Garrett Hedlund, Jamie Bell and Willem Dafoe, clad in Prada’s severe, smart and tailored looks, perfectly epitomize the powerful men the collection revolved around. Photographer David Sims captures the actors’ authoritative stance, framing them against a crimson background. 

The campaign’s image gallery includes three-quarter length portraits of the four iconic actors, “each at a different point in their careers,” representing “a cross-generational broadening of the face” of the brand’s men’s wear line, the company stated. 

“In the campaign each leading man plays a different archetype, layering codes of dress in a subtle parody of power and role-play. Exaggerated poses and conspiratorial glances hint at the game, a palm solemnly placed on the heart or into a pocket with precise formality,” concluded the company.

givenchy ad campaign fall winter 2012 2013 stell 


Riccardo Tisci, whose shows for Givenchy often feature bone-shuddering electronic music, has decided to portray the euphoric energy of a rave party in the French house’s fall campaign, featuring model Stella Tennant.

“It is about happiness and the freedom of expressing yourself with your body. It shows a dynamic, happy and fun world, which is what fashion needs,” the designer told WWD about the fractured images. “Stella represents modernity, elegance, masculinity and femininity at the same time, together with a dynamic, energetic beauty.”

Joan Smalls, Stef van der Laan, Daniela Braga, Simone Nobili, Jarrod Scott and Rodrigo Braga are the other “new stars of the Givenchy gang” who join the party with Tennant, Tisci added. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott photographed the ads, with styling by Carine Roitfeld. The spots are slated to break in September issues of various international editions of Vogue, as well as Harper’s Bazaar and W.
