Cavalli Goes Lagerfeld
October 21st, 2008 by kpriss
I know, I know, but it was so beautiful and crazy hilarious, I had to bring it on! For a special Halloween flavor!
Actually, this event happened last year, on Halloween night, precisely, at Cipriani’s, NY. Roberto Cavalli dressed up to the very ponytail like the Kaiser! I don’t know if that shall be done again this year, but it was a funny, great idea! Who should do who next? I propose Marc Jacobs as Dame Vivienne Westwood! (photo via ontdff)
Tattoos – Fashion Or Cosmetic Rebellion?
October 21st, 2008 by kpriss
Each adolescent today seems to be carrying some eagerness to stand out with own means. Not that wasn’t common for any adolescent, everywhere, anytime, all times. But today’s adolescents seem to be thinking of one way to recreate uniqueness – through skin embellishments and jewelry enhancements (and I’m not talking necklaces, rings, earrings or bracelets!).
Tattoos. We’ve all been there at least once in our lives. Either it was a simple, innocent mark on the skin as a forget-not-note, either it was a tiny temporary holiday tattoo. Or serious ink. The kind that doesn’t go away, the kind that stays on even when you’ll be 50, 60 or 80 years old!

Some Shoes…From The Movies!
October 20th, 2008 by kpriss
Shoes will always raise pulses. If associated with movie stars, shoes become so much more than just shoes! They become the “shoes of…” and the “shoes worn by…”, their life of vulgarity and anonymity makes room to a live of spotlight and endless exhibitions and neverending “wows”!
If you have the chance to be in Madrid these days, up until October 29 there will be a special exhibition in relation with the Film Festival October Short. It’s “Zapatos Rodados”! Shoes worn by stars in the movies! And not just any star! You can see the shoes worn by Penelope Cruz or Marilyn Monroe. Or James Dean.
There’s also a special section of replicas, but the 23 original shoes tops the 13 replicas from this very special Spanish exhibition. Come to think of it, do you imagine an exhibition with Carrie Bradshaw’s shoes? (you can see some of the shoes right after the jump) (via, photos via)
Mattoni Advertising Campaign 2008
October 19th, 2008 by kpriss
I sometimes ask how far will they go for a certain product when advertising involved. Creativity knows no boundaries, nor shall advertising.
What’s even more impressive to watch, is the physical (by that I mean technical) possibilities to boldly go where no one has gone before. To achieve stunning effects and breathtaking results. Such is the case with this Mattoni ad. It’s just water. But it’s moving! (and if you’re the do-it-yourself type, here’s your very own tutorial!)
Adidas: Be Original
October 19th, 2008 by kpriss
Another campaign for a world renowned sportswear brand that doesn’t necessarily connect you with their product as such.
It doesn’t have to be the world’s greatest commercial or the most innovative, it just has to find that switch in you, the one that makes you turn towards their product and not the competition’s. And this “branding the principles” seems to be one of the heaviest tendencies in advertising lately. Take a look. Could it work with you?
Ad break: Zales
October 19th, 2008 by kpriss
Today I’ll share with you some of the most charming commercials I found this week. I’ll play along, give a vacation to my critic self and just go with the advertorial flow.
I won’t tell you what they’re about, I hate spoilers! (I came to think that even a movie trailer is a spoiler in itself…) I just hope you’ll like them, that you haven’t saw them before and you’ll enjoy them at least just as much as I did! Let’s start with Zales!
Easy Like a Couple Of Zebra Finches!
October 19th, 2008 by kpriss
When I found these two cuties, I also found that they were called Zebra Finches and that they come from Australia.
Nothing extraordinary, except for one little detail that got this story so close to my heart and perfectly suited for an easy moment – it’s said that when the Zebra Finches form a couple, they don’t break up anymore. They make plenty little baby Zebras and live happily ever after with their baby Zebras who grow up eventually and have little baby Zebras too! And so on, and so on! It’s like a Shrek tale! It just never goes away! (photo via pixdaus)
