Getting Up Close and Personal with Mariacarla Boscono in Paradis Summer 2008

>> Juergen Teller has been known to take some pervy photographs in his time — the set of 28 awkward nude self-portraits from 2004 (NSFW), some with Charlotte Rampling, come to mind.  But those were self-portraits — the 50-page spread Teller did of Mariacarla Boscono in the Summer 2008 issue of French men's mag Paradis Magazine is a different story.

Among the shots chronicling "an erotic journey" in Rome, there's one picture that gets up close and personal with Mariacarla's nether regions — very in-your-face, like an American Apparel ad taken to the next level. Paradis' goal is to tap into the French tradition of eroticism, and the other photos from the editorial fit that bill, but this crotch shot . . . well, not so much.

Lights, Brights for Pucci Fall 2008

>> Juergen Teller and his favorite Mariacarla Boscono have collaborated again, this time for the Fall 2008 Pucci campaign.

>> Juergen Teller and his favorite Mariacarla Boscono have collaborated again, this time for the Fall 2008 Pucci campaign. The ads are similar to work Juergen and Mariacarla have done together in the past, especially the shot of her randomly standing on a chair, and the intermittently placed letters make the set seem a little like Sesame Street for high fashion.  But the full-on headlights shot is a bit of a shocker (you'll see what I mean), and generally speaking, it's an interesting experience to see the bright Pucci colors toned down with Juergen's harsh lighting.

Marc Jacobs

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Following up a season of flailing legs and boxed-up Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs is back with the models for Fall 2008.  The full campaign features both Kirsten Owen and Stella Tennant, but in this first look, you wouldn't even know it was Stella, her head is so obscured.

Marc Jacobs Takes On a Blogger Muse

>> There's no doubt about it, Marc Jacobs still has BryanBoy on the brain.  He named a Fall 2008 Marc Jacobs bag the "BB bag" after the blogger, and quite possibly took inspiration for one of Victoria Beckham's Spring 2008 MJ ads from BryanBoy's shopping bag antics.  Now, after seeing the Fall 2008 Marc by Marc Jacobs ads, the resemblance to BryanBoy's look is uncanny.

Male model Cole Mohr shot both the MxMJ menswear and womenswear campaigns with Juergen Teller in Texas, but it's the womenswear ads that are really BryanBoy-inspired — the pint-sized Filipino blogger is well-known to wear womens' clothes, including mini dresses and handbags, big sunglasses, and have his boyish haircut sideswept just like Cole's.  Only the release of the full campaign will confirm it, but like I said — there's no doubt in my mind that Cole was BryanBoy-ed.

The Runway Scoop Shoutout: Marc Jacobs Ads and the New York Times

Our network partner, The Runway Scoop, reported on Cathy Horyn's musings on modern fashion ads.

Our network partner, The Runway Scoop, reported on Cathy Horyn's musings on modern fashion ads. The Runway Scoop brings up a good point, that creative persons presumably would spawn creative advertisements, although Horyn postulates that confidence is really the key. Marc Jacobs' work with Juergen Teller, has revolutionized our conception of fashion advertising and many, therefore, wonder just which of the two is responsible. Horyn, in a separate article on the duo, asks Teller about Jacobs' influence in his work, to which he replied, “He was the person who really said, ‘Just do what your heart feels.’...He gave me the license to be myself and that is extremely rare that he supported me.". Teller has shot all of the advertisements for Marc Jacobs since 2005 and the last two season's advertisements for Yves Saint Laurent.

Marc Jacobs Has Been Punk'd

Even if you love Marc Jacobs, you have to admit that his quirky ads, shot by photographer Juergen Teller, are just asking to be spoofed.

Even if you love Marc Jacobs, you have to admit that his quirky ads, shot by photographer Juergen Teller, are just asking to be spoofed. That day has come via a website, TheNewEnthusiasm.com. Mr. Teller's Borg + McEnroe refers to the famed photog, as well as two champion tennis players, Björn Borg and John McEnroe.

Thomas Larsson and Greg Hart are the culprits who dressed up as tennis players and produced the fake ads. I knew it was safe to assume that Ashton Kutcher has nothing to do with it. The one that made me laugh the most is the man in the blond wig holding the brown MJ purse (left). Which, if any, do you think are the funniest?

Fab Ad: Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008

Does Marc Jacobs have a new obsession?

Does Marc Jacobs have a new obsession? First Sri Lankan songstress M.I.A. DJed his runway after party last month, and now she appeared in the ad campaign for his Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line, so it sure seems like it.

Her colorful, funky on-stage style complements the bold background prints and vivid colors appearing in these Juergen Teller-shot ads. Overall, do they make you smile? Or do they hurt your eyes?

Sneak Peek: Victoria Beckham for Marc Jacobs

Update: We have a couple more pics so take a lookie!

Update: We have a couple more pics so take a lookie!

When I say sneak peek, I really do mean a peek: all you can see are Posh's legs! You never know what Marc Jacobs and his favorite ad campaign photographer Juergen Teller will come up with next, but this really takes the cake. Posh is being eaten by a MJ shopping bag . . . hilarious. This is only the first image in a series, so I'm excited to see what else rounds out the bunch. Hopefully we'll see more of Mr. Blackwell's worst-dressed lady VB next time around. Are you laughing?
