Can you all guess what it is? - I’d love to give clues, but let’s not make this easy for you. Really, get a little imaginative!
Never been too big a fan of A. Wang, but hopefully some of Mr. Ghesquière’s creative magic will rub off on his Balenciaga interpretations…
I am officially en route to a shaggy little mini bob and I couldn’t be more excited, all thanks to hair inspiration borrowed from Ms. Werbowy! Working with Lush’s Godiva shampoo bar, Big Solid conditioner, and John Masters Bourbon Vanilla & … Continue reading
Beyoncé is on the cover of Vogue UK’s May issue. Shot by Arthur Elgort, she looks great in the Jonathan Saunders skirt and cropped top from the S/S ’13 collection, but the feature? Bored. If I wanted a self indulgent … Continue reading
My issues with Hedi Slimane’s handling of the YSL brand are numerous, but I am sure this campaign is going to top that list. Marilyn Manson for YSL… That is where I stop. I am sure the music project will be wonderful considering the brand’s long standing association with rockstars, but Marilyn Manson? Really? Needless to say, there will be no review. I will leave you with the trailer of one of the greatest documentaries, ever, and have you join in my sighing.
Léa Seydoux is ingénue Candy – Prada’s Candy face, with two men hopelessly in love with her while she contemplates her future with them. Quirky, funny, and very Wes, this is one engaging film campaign.
From the Art Deco bottle, the white musk and citrus notes, to the wonderful film translation, I might just make the shift from my current love for the Summer.
The new fragrance blends white musk, caramel, benzoin, sweet pea and citrus notes. Available in 30ml, 50ml and 80ml bottles, the fragrance is available exclusively at Selfridges from March 28, and nationwide, in the UK, from April 29.
Marion Cotillard returns as the face for Dior’s classic handbag collection for S/S ’13. So consistently impressive, the woman. Love her. Love the images. Can’t wait for the campaign movie.
“Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.” - Goethe
I have been dabbling with a lot of looks lately, and have realised that nothing feels more like me, than minimalism. I have never been a big lover of prints, they seem almost passive aggressive to me; my solid colours fill me with a reassurance that can only come from an impossibly inconvenient form of mutual attachment.
Not as excited as when I’d heard of this, but good news nonetheless. The campaign, “Beyoncé as Mrs Carter in H&M”, which was shot in the Bahamas by my personal favourites Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin earlier this year, sees ”personal input on the pieces seen in the campaign”, confirmed a representative for the brand.
The summer campaign features swimwear and beachwear pieces shot around the concept of the four elements, and includes a bikini from the H&M for Water collection, which raises money for WaterAid. The print adverts will launch alongside an accompanying television commercial – featuring a new Beyoncé song, Standing On The Sun.
“H&M’s summer campaign starring Beyoncé is an epic fantasy, with glamour, drama and also a sense of paradise,” said Donald Schneider, H&M’s creative director. “It was amazing to watch her on the shoot make it all look effortless – a quality that makes her such an icon for women around the world. The campaign is the essence of Beyoncé, and also the essence of H&M this summer.”
Lovely, but wish they hadn’t tied in on a campaign name which also happens to be the name of her upcoming world tour. Seems a little gimmicky to me. But at least there’s Standing On The Sun.
Nicki Minaj. Love her.
There are very few things that I, as a fan, think Nicki Minaj can’t pull off. This cover is one of those things. Out of her ‘tried and tested’ zone, with it’s made’under’ styling, and an interview about everything from her plans on bulding an empire (love the word) to being better than the rest – I recommend you get the issue even if you’re not a fan.
Ages ago, I’d tweeted news of Karl Lagerfeld collaborating with Melissa shoes. Turns out that while that’s true, the footwear magic that will be created between the two giants will extend over the next four seasons! Now, anyone who knows me knows of my shameless obsession with Melissa shoes, and the fact that I love that they consciously choose to make vegan shoes and don’t deprive the world of the joy of owning something by Lagerfeld or Westwood, at the same time. Let’s not say I am smitten, but I am mighty impressed. (Although if I didn’t know better, I’d think the shoes were Marni attempting contemporary chic.)
It can’t exactly be ‘bad’ if it’s a Karl Lagerfeld campaign for Chanel, and it only gets better with Alice Dellal’s return as the face for the bag, with model Jake Davies. Even with keeping my penchant for B/W images, aside, I think this is a beautiful campaign.
