Model Takeover: Louis Vuitton's Alma Campaign May Be the Beginning of a New Era

Louis Vuitton calls its brand-new ad campaign for the iconic Alma bag "Chic on the Bridge" — which is fitting, as the images were shot on bridges in New York, Paris, and Shanghai.

by Justin Fenner

Louis Vuitton calls its brand-new ad campaign for the iconic Alma bag "Chic on the Bridge" — which is fitting, as the images were shot on bridges in New York, Paris, and Shanghai.

Steven Klein shot the images, which feature models Karlie Kloss, Iris Strubegger, Jac Jagaciak, and Daria Strokous. In each city they pose with a different colored Alma bag: taxicab yellow in New York, French blue in Paris, and lacquer red in Shanghai.

But the beautiful images might be the beginning of a new tide of ads for Vuitton: market sources told WWD that the brand has plans to phase out its Core Values campaigns, which have featured notable figures like Angelina Jolie, Catherine Deneuve, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Keith Richards.

A look at the new ads, here in the gallery.

Adorable Pomeranian Stars in Spring 2013 Campaign For Tous

Mario Sorrenti's Spring 2013 campaign for Tous is themed "Bliss" — and what could be more blissful than beautiful jewelry, a room full of hydrangeas, and a cuddly little Pomeranian?

by Justin Fenner

Mario Sorrenti's Spring 2013 campaign for Tous is themed "Bliss" — and what could be more blissful than beautiful jewelry, a room full of hydrangeas, and a cuddly little Pomeranian?

Sorrenti cast the up-and-coming human model Loulou Robert in the campaign, then filled his New York studio with flowers and brought in Tito the Pom — dressed in the brand's jewelry — to play. A feeling of pure bliss is what inspired the brand's latest pastel-colored offering, and Robert and Tito manage to capture that sense of happiness in the campaign.

A look at all the photos from the shoot here in the gallery.

La Vie en Rose: Karlie Kloss Stars in Moda Operandi's Flower-Filled Spring 2013 Ads

Florals? For Spring? Absolutely. In Moda Operandi's Spring 2013 campaign, Karlie Kloss dons some of the season's prettiest flowery pieces, from an array of designers that includes Thom Browne, Rodarte, Suno, and Katie Ermilio, among others.

Florals? For Spring? Absolutely. In Moda Operandi's Spring 2013 campaign, Karlie Kloss dons some of the season's prettiest flowery pieces, from an array of designers that includes Thom Browne, Rodarte, Suno, and Katie Ermilio, among others.

But photographer Cedric Buchet's dramatic campaign, which is called "La Vie en Rose," doesn't simply feature the flowers on the clothing. Instead, a number of blooms were digitally superimposed over the photos to create a buoyant visual effect. Some of the flowers float over Kloss's lithe figure, while others simply fill whatever room she's in.

A look at the campaign here in the gallery.

A New Batch of Floral Prints to Covet, Thanks to Zara's April Lookbook

Zara's April lookbook is rife with the kind of pieces that perfectly capture Spring's breezier sensibility.

by Marisa Tom

Zara's April lookbook is rife with the kind of pieces that perfectly capture Spring's breezier sensibility. That's not to say there aren't more polished styling counterparts — because there are — but if we're to forecast the month ahead according to Zara, it's looking like a laid-back affair. The floral prints, which are reminiscent of scenes stolen right off of a vintage china plate, take shape on cap-sleeved shifts, shorts sets, relaxed blouses, and pencil skirts. The quintessential blazer comes oversized with bold buttons, in a soft pastel blue tuxedo iteration, and cut in a longer double-breasted silhouette. And where there's silky texture, there's a flowing red jumpsuit, a sportier colorblocked maxi dress, and palazzo trousers to indulge in. Zara's latest is certainly something to be inspired by, and lucky for us, it's also within our wallet's reach. See the complete lookbook here.
