Fab Ad: Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2008

Designer ads are getting more and more colorful, and it's making me want to skip Winter and jump straight to Spring.

Designer ads are getting more and more colorful, and it's making me want to skip Winter and jump straight to Spring. Take Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2008 ads featuring Gemma Ward, Lily Donaldson, and Jessica Stam; they're still very Dolce & Gabbana raw, minus the groping and grinding action. There's something ultra cool about swan-like models clad in luxurious fabrics lounging in a shabby art warehouse. I see beauty in the contradiction between the dramatic and feminine clothes and the cold concrete walls. Do you?

Fab Ad: Valentino Fall/Winter 2007

Mr. Garavani appointed quite the triumvirate for his Fall ad representation: Gemma Ward, Daria Werbowy, and Hilary Rhoda.

Mr. Garavani appointed quite the triumvirate for his Fall ad representation: Gemma Ward, Daria Werbowy, and Hilary Rhoda. The girls are lookin' good in Va-Va's trademark red dresses and matching red lipstick. Just look at those swooning poses and smoky eyes - there is some serious drama going on here! As the last ad campaign under the now retired designer's direction, I'd say this is the perfect ode to the glamorous Italian fashion house.

In closing, I love how the light is coming through blinds: does anyone else see American Gigolo meets Robert Palmer here?

This new edition of Vogue is expected to be more colorful and more vibrant than the western models, according to Alex Kuruvilla, managing director of Conde Nast India. He also expects it to draw attention to Indian designers, Indian photographers, and even Indian models. The Vogue India woman has the best of both the eastern and western worlds: she wears Jimmy Choo shoes along with her traditional Indian garb.

Fab Ad: Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2007

I have to say, these ads are pretty intense.

I have to say, these ads are pretty intense. Believe it or not, that's Gemma Ward under there. I'm not sure how I feel about the muzzle-like knit on her face - I'm sure it has some underlying meaning, but I don't like the symbolism of a woman being muzzled. Especially because I'm not sure what it has to do with the collection's theme: the Scottish highlands. The clothes on the other hand - you know I am loving plaids right now and Gaultier continues to be a mastermind in that department. What do you all think?!

The ads were shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and more from this campaign can be seen here.

Fab Flash: Gemma Ward the Inaugural Face of Vogue India

Gemma Ward is one lucky lady!

Gemma Ward is one lucky lady! She not only got to appear on the inaugural cover of Vogue China two years ago (below), but she just recently shot the cover of the debut issue of Vogue India, which is expected to appear in September. I love Gemma, but I think it is interesting that they chose her for the first covers of both the Chinese and Indian Vogues. What do you all think?

Mischa Barton

Former Super Models Abound at Le Scaphandre et le Papillon Premiere

Many of the fashion world's most beautiful came out to the premiere of Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) at Cannes.

Many of the fashion world's most beautiful came out to the premiere of Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) at Cannes. Mischa seems a little out of place but what do you expect when you're up against Claudia, Naomi and Elle? However, this look on Mischa is much better then her rock and roll inspired red carpet look. The movie is based on the book by former Elle editor Jean-Dominique Bauby. Bauby was almost completely paralyzed in 1995 and communicated his entire story to a interlocutor only by blinking his left eye. The film, directed by acclaimed artist Julian Schnabel, is creating quite a stir at Cannes, and over here in the states as well.

Clooney Gets a Lift

We were so excited when George landed the cover of VF this month.

We were so excited when George landed the cover of VF this month. We then pondered who his mystery lady was. Now VF has provided outtakes that show us how even though George may be the most dashing man in Hollywood, even he needs help every once in a while. Looks like he needed a lift in the pics with Gemma Ward so he appears taller. We love George just the way he is but it just goes to show how beauty is distorted.
