SLIDESHOW

With the latest Christmas craze, I just needed to step back a moment, widen my fashion perspective and see beyond the Holidays: see next season’s advertising campaigns as they started to come down like snow in Aspen!

Marc Jacobs is the first to open the preview list with what was his last collection for Louis Vuitton in a monumental advertising campaign starring a handful of his ‘muses’:

{1} Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2014 Ad Campaign

a tribute to the women who inspired Marc over the years, the campaign was shot in studio by Steven Meisel with Actresses Catherine Deneuve and Fan Bingbing, acclaimed director Sophia Coppola and a handful of iconic models: Gisele Bundchen, Caroline de Maigret and Edie Campbell.

Karl Templer styled the campaign while Guido Palau was haistylist and Pat McGrath makeup artist. The campaign centers around the newly reissued Noé handbag, the NN14 that is based on a 1932 bucket-like design by Gaston-Louis Vuitton who imagined it as stylish and clever way to transport five bottles of champagne.

lost in bag-translation, are we Sofia?

This is Marc Jacobs’ swan song, and as such, it features a lot of black, feathers and crystals to showcase the drama. Next March, Vuitton’s new creative, Nicolas Ghesquiere will release his first collection for the French Fashion Giant.

{2} Balmain Spring Summer 2014 Ad Campaign With Rihanna

not so much the campaign’s aesthetics but the main star, ‘BadGalRiri’, it’s what makes this campaign preview stand out. Olivier Roustaing’s designs are indeed on Rihanna’s fashion alley so the visuals don’t clash with the spokesperson.

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photographed Rihanna with a little help from Atelier Franck Durand and Mel Ottenberg who styled the campaign (in what looks to be a sauna or a public bath?)

{3} Burberry Spring Summer 2014 Ad Campaign

is bringing a handful of happy young British stars from the glitzy world of fashion or the magic world of entertaining in front of Mario Testino’s lenses. Models such as the gorgeous Malaika Firth, Jean Campbell, Matilda Lowther, Callum Ball and Neelam Johal and stars such as Jamie Campbell Bower (musician and actor), Leo Dobson (musician).

The campaign will break through all media platforms in the very first days of January so hopefully we’ll see more of that beautiful Burberry SS14 collection when it does!

{4} Blumarine Spring Summer 2014 Ad Campaign

is the first official campaign Toni Garn’s new haircut is shown in its full modern splendor! The Victoria’s Secret model radically cut her long tresses mid December (Karlie Kloss and her short haircut seem to work their magic still) and we have the photos to prove it!

The Italian Fashion house Blumarine entrusted the visuals of the campaign to Swedish photographer Camilla Akrans who shot Toni surrounded by some kind of butterflies curtain, subtlety hinting at campaigns past (Edun, anyone?)
