There’s something strange about Marc Jacobs’ design ways! (almost) Everything he touches turns into golden sand castle. But rest assured, there’s no sand castle, be it gold, that’ll hold up to the next season’s sea of trends! So we should be safe from this rabbit-ears infection next year (and, maybe, this year’s LV ad-solarization wouldn’t hit next year’s Ad Campaign also)
Yes, he invents the wheel with every passing season, but it’s not a life-lasting wheel, unfortunately. Marc Jacobs is a prisoner of trends. Trendier he gets, the easier it would be for his followers to get over him.
He goes so well with Juergen Teller’s photo style, it would’ve been impossible not to pair them up: it shines so much and it’s so weirdly catching your attention, you can’t overlook it. (have you noticed that the LV Fall 2009 Ad Campaign looks bizarrely Teller-ish positioned even if its photographer it’s Meisel?) But once you turn the page, Juergen Teller’s photo is long gone from your visual memory! Now let’s give it to Marc Jacobs himself explaining the hows and the whys of Bunny Ears 2009! (and to her Madgesty to do the precious like nobody’s business!) (via)
How do you know it’s already fall? Despite of my wanting to not separate from my summer attires, throughout the long fall and winter seasons I keep dreaming about wearing sandals. Jimmy Choo Fall Winter 2009/2010 campaign makes my dreams come true!
Because you don’t have to stop wearing sandals even if it’s fall! Because, in the comfort and chaleur of your own home, you can wear as many high heeled sandals as you please! As demonstrated by Terry Richardson’s lenses, Angela Lindvall’s gorgeous long legs and the Jimmy Choo label on the sole of the sandals! (the story continues with more images right after the jump!)
i-D’s 300th issue is celebrated with three different covers. In content and styling also. Sigrid Agren by Alasdar McClellan is the first wink and her cover looks like just pulled out of an i-D winking photo booth.
Tasha Tilberg by Kayt Jones in black and white: the strong contrast, the styling made this cover breathtakingly beautiful. As for Raquel Zimmerman’s cover, shot by Juergen Teller, it really isn’t my favorite but I’ll try to give it a wink, just because I really loved the previous two i-D covers! (the story continues right after the jump with more pictures)
She’s into home decoration now. Barney’s New York is the place to go if you want your very own Vivienne Westwood home details (no plastic involved). (the story continues right after the jump, with more pictures)
Another year, another collection signed Vivienne Westwood for Melissa, the Plastic Dreams company! (not kidding, that’s their slogan!)
Vivienne Westwood chose to fusion Anglomania with Melissa, thus giving us not one but four different popsy designs for the Black Line collection Spring Summer 2009 from Melissa. (the story continues right after the jump! Don’t miss the gallery with all Vivienne Westwood Anglomania shoes for Melissa Spring Summer 2009!)
Take a big shoebox, $1,000, add a serious dose of economic crisis, warholic inspiration, red soles and you get? Christian Louboutin Barneys Trash Shoes! (oh, your change – $5!)
Not to be taken lightly, the Trash Shoes top any Pamela Anderson-Vivienne Westwood coop, it’s the ultimate pop declaration you could ever make! Sky high stilettos, iconic Louboutins red soles, all that glitter and selected materials, each shoe is unique and you can find it chez Barneys NY. Derelictious, aren’t they? (the story continues right after the jump!)
With Haute Couture comes back my love of fashion and all things chic. I tend to forget about this Wonderland, territory of dreams and beauty.
I’ve so discovered something that falls in the same category as Haute Fashion – Haute Magazine. Vs. Vs. Magazine has that strong fashion and art aesthetic that lost territory in favor of trashy and cheap (à la Vivienne Westwood’s Pamela Anderson art).
Vs. Magazine has that high fashion, high professionalism taste you can hardly find anywhere on today’s fashion magazines’ menu plates. It’s the reason I fell in love with fashion and style and I’m so happy to enjoy and share with you my precious find!
I’m not one of the fashion snobs who discard gossip because it’s not artsy enough. I find inspiration in every piece of information and I treasure diversity in my Google Reader. Because that’s how I get inspired, that’s how I understand my time in my own (egoistic and selfcentered) rhythm. (don’t miss the pictures right after the jump!)
I came across these pictures today: Pamela Anderson ad campaign for Vivienne Westwood Spring Summer 2009 finally revealed (after that Art Basel Miami teaser)!
Looking at the pictures I can’t decide if I should just run and hide or simply take pride on Juergen Teller’s fashionable work with one of the world’s most recognizable and controversial faces.
Pamela Anderson, Vivienne Westwood (and Dame Viv’s husband Andreas Kronthaler) look like having fun making this campaign. The pictures could very well be holidays photos since there’s no pressure in showing off the clothes or the model’s marketing capacities.
