Prada’s campaigns are easily among the most anticipated each season. They make stars of new models and cement the success of established ones. For spring, Steven Meisel shot a cast of six models (Kati Nescher, Meghan Collison, Natasha Poly, Elise Crombez, Ymre Stiekema and Kathryn Kruger) as blond bombshells or femmes noirs at an idealized Read more →
Another day, another spring ad campaign featuring Gisele Bundchen, who is obviously trying to hang on to her title of “highest paid model ever.” Remember all those not-so-velied rumors about her shooting the Givenchy campaign? Well, here’s the result.
Those recent rumors that Alice Dellal would be the newest face of a Chanel campaign are true. Chanel just released an image of her shoot with Karl Lagerfeld to WWD.
It’s that most magical time of the year. No, not the holidays–it’s spring ad campaign reveal season! Today’s present is Gisele Bundchen for Versace, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. No, don’t try to adjust your screen; it’s supposed to look like that.
Donna Karan’s spring 2012 collection was heavily influenced by the time the designer spent in Haiti following the earthquake–so it was only fitting that she shoot her spring ad campaign there. “Bringing awareness to Haiti has become a personal passion,” Karan said in a release. “For Spring, it was also my creative inspiration, bringing my Read more →
I wouldn’t be surprised if “confection” was the word most frequently used to describe Marc Jacobs’ super pretty, lace-y, pastel-filled, carousel-set spring 2012 offerings for Louis Vuitton. So, it follows that the ad campaign would be set up in a pink and white ice cream parlor.
For the fifth installment of the Lady Dior films, campaign face Marion Cotillard stars in L.A.dy Dior, a hilarious L.A. spoof directed by John Cameron Mitchell (he also directed the fourth film). The five-minute-long film is worth a watch to the end, even though five minutes is an eternity on the internet. My favorite is Read more →
Karl Lagerfeld does not shy away from quirky ladies to front his Chanel bag campaigns: Lily Allen was a recent face, as was the more model-esque Blake Lively. But Karl definitely has punk proclivities, as evidenced by his new harder-edged, lower-priced Karl line; perhaps his immersion in that recent project explains his rumored choice for Chanel’s next bag lady.
Did model-of-the-moment Karlie Kloss suddenly become the new face of CoverGirl over the weekend? Or is there yet another fake ad campaign swirling the internets. This image was posted on Fashin today and, at first glance, is pretty convincing as a CoverGirl print ad, with a glammed-up Karlie and black-and-white shots of Pat McGrath doing Read more →
We must give props to the clever kids over at Fashin for constructing this fake Prada ad featuring indie pop star Lana Del Rey (and her lips) and then posting it as if it were real to see which fashion blogs would bite. So far some of Fashin’s commenters, Racked, Refinery29 and Ology have all Read more →
Well played Bergdorf Goodman. This holiday promo is insanely cute. Especially the end. Watch it. Now if Bergdorf’s could just do the cat version…
As we reported earlier, Hailee Steinfeld’s fall 2011 Miu Miu campaign, which depicted her sitting near a train track, was banned in the UK for being “irresponsible because it depicted a child in an unsafe location.”
By that logic, the following ad campaigns, some of which depict actual dangerous situations, should never have made it to print. I mean, I can’t believe we aren’t hearing about people hurting themselves every day by climbing the Eiffel Tower in high heels and standing on top of volcanos. Although, death by attempting to recreate a Dior campaign would be a pretty chic way to go. Fashin has some excellent “irresponsible” ad campaigns with some hilarious captions here. Click through for 10 more examples.
