I love the new Alexander McQueen S/S 2012 Campaign featuring Polish model Zuzanna Bijoch. The gorgeous images were photographed by David Sims.
"I was thinking about a woman as an object of desire. We go to such lengths to adorn ourselves that we almost become our clothes or are taken over by them. This is a collection about excess - an exploration of ideals of beauty at their most extreme.” Sarah Burton
Here's an awesome pic of Sean O’Pry taken backstage at the Viktor & Rolf show during Paris Fashion Week. Sean's look was one of my favorites that walked the runway. (Love!)
On what I would say was a kinda gloomy day at the beach, Gisele Bündchen delivered another beautiful campaign for Spring/Summer 2012... this time for Givenchy. Photographed once again by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the sleek and slightly darker campaign also features Mariacarla Boscono, Simone Nobili, and Chris Moore.
Over all, I think the images are lovely and loving that Riccardo Tisci found that megalodon tooth... and decided to make a necklace out of it.
Here are my favorite looks from the Givenchy Menswear Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Paris show.
(I love Tisci.... but I still haven't found the right occasion to wear a man-skirt yet!)
“It’s all about the American Dream… I had two obsessions when growing up; going to America which is where the flag came from, and Minotaurs. First I took the sharpness and the composition of the stars, I’ve been obsessed with them all my career, and secondly I used the Minotaurs, who are half bulls and half human beings, for the prints.”
-Riccardo Tisci
The Burberry Prorsum show presented in Milan, "The Gentlemen. Afterwards" was a wonderful evolution of the urban military style. A perfect blend of military and city boy chic... which Christopher Bailey does so well! This time around the British label enlisted a whole gang of new Burberry boys... but still including the regulars like Charlie France, Jeremy Young and Sebastian Brice.
Baptiste Giabiconi's new song entitled "One Night in Paradise", will serve as the first single from his upcoming album, Oxygen. (due in stores this February) The video was filmed in Los Angeles, and directed by Taj Stansberry. Sexy Baptiste looks amazing as always, but that is nothing new... I mean he's a Supermodel! The song is nothing spectacular, but truthfully anything he does... I'm sure I'd love it!
I will say tho, that it's better then his (very euro) first song "Showtime." This new vibe sounds more leisurely mid-tempo and reminds me of a French Enrique Iglesias, and what the Hell... Enrique has sold over 100 million records worldwide so go get em' Baptiste!
Smokin hot brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen is working it in these images from the Versace Spring/Summer 2012 campaign. Styled by Joe McKenna and photographed by Mert & Marcus, Gisele looks incredible in her white studded bra, and sexy skirt/short shorts... but then again I guess if you are Donatella Versace, that would be what you wear to the pool.
Kim Jones, Louis Vuitton's new Mens Style Director delivered a great sophomore collection for Fall/Winter 2012. A 12-metre-wide globe suspended like a hot air balloon hung over a runway - which was then covered with a photographic parquet of tatami matting. The garments were an extraordinary showcase of exceptional execution, detail and technique.
Well, I don't have any classes or school to attend... but I'm loving the Fall/Winter 2012 Dsquared collection. I feel I must have these flawlessly cut garments hanging in my closet next Fall (I'll gladly call myself one of the Caten bad-boys!) It's nothing the twins haven't done before but the mixture of fabrics, textures and excellent tailoring showcase a range of pieces and a beautifully executed collection. All in all the collection was razor-sharp yet still youthful, which is what we expect from DSquared2.
It is probably London but it could be New York or Paris. It is probably 2011 but it could be 1972. Louis Vuitton's online magazine, New Now, in collaboration with Matthew Donaldson, offers a new perspective of Louis Vuitton's 2012 Cruise collection, stretching time and capturing each exquisite dance movement at a thousand frames per second.
I love me some gap-toothed Lara Stone and she looks stunningly beautiful as always (clearly in head-to-toe in Calvin Klein) for this noir short film directed by Alex Prager. The bombshell interpretation of the Wizard of Oz was shot on the outskirts of Los Angeles is part of the new Mercedes-Benz Autumn/Winter 2012 “Icons of Style” campaign. This time around there is no wide-eyed Dorothy, no Toto and Lara will definitely not be walking along any yellow brick road... there's just her Mercedes-Benz, classic leather luggage, tornado, and somewhere to be!
Why don't the people at Coachella look like this? (I'm sure I would be much more interested in the whole music festival experience) but I will say tho.... the new DSquared2 Spring/Summer 2012 ad campaign looks more like a bunch of Abercrombie boys in acid colored shades who got lost in Glastonbury and started taking off their clothes. Instead of black and white bruce webber you get bight and colorful Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Never the less I love the images and someone please tell me where I can get ticket to this event next year. The campaign features sexy models Dmitriy Tanner, Matt Woodhouse, Paolo Anchisi, Ton Heukels and the beautiful Natasha Poly.
How cute is model Timothé Echelard??? He looks great in these images shot by photographer Matthieu Dortomb.... But then again I love a cute model and black and white photography any day of the week!
ummm, well I do believe that Lana Del Rey might possibly have given Rebecca Black a run for the money after delivering a less then impressive performance on SNL the other night (couldn't she have just lip-synced like Ashlee???) but anyways.... she does look amazing on the cover of the February 2012 issue of Interview Russia. The beautiful image was photographed by Sean + Seng.
