Tom Ford knows that controversy and intimacy pave the road to financial success. Regardless of what you’re trying to sell. He holds no more secrets in his advertorial recipe book: all the ingredients you need are skin, more skin, all the skin you have needs to be shown. Add some red lipstick, red nails, think [...]

I love effortless, fresh beauty. Being natural and graceful is beauty to me. Olivia Palermo’s ad campaign for Rochas’ new perfume Les Cascades: Eclat D’Agrumes is very inviting and really catchy for me.

Talking about Victoria’s Secret models reminded me of one I particularly love: Candice Swanepoel. And her couture – ish ad campaign for Prabal Gurung Spring Summer 2012.

Kate Moss keeps on telling us that it’s easy to “be Iconic” with a little help from Dior Addict Extreme, the new Christian Dior Beauty 2012 Ad Campaign. Looking pretty as always, Kate! And Dior is undoubtedly addictive. Extremely! So there’s no too much in this campaign, nothing looks forced or pushed too far, so [...]

Now that’s some serious pirate work right there! After sister Penelope Cruz joining the Pirates of the Caribbean ranks, Monica Cruz is now advertising for TechnoMarine Watches wearing a wristwatch as an eye patch. Clever, huh? Monica and Andres Velencoso Segura, known more for being Kylie Minogue’s boyfriend than a Spanish model and actor, both [...]
