Attenzione! Prada has a new look. I, for one, am excited. It's always smart for designers to mix it up. While the house is sticking with photog Steven Meisel, a slew of blond models show off Prada's rumpled, but sophisticated, Spring collection. Here's the mannequin list: Nimue Smit, Giedre Dukauskaite, Sigrid Agren, Toni Garrn, Katrin Thormann, Viktoriya Sasonkina, and Ymre Stiekema. Whew! But, Read more
Anything Zara is Fab! The photo shoot is nice but I'm not feeling Iselin. Eh, I've seen better. Strictly eye candy to me! Other — do tell! Read more
Fab Face Bianca Balti is the perfect girl to star in Missoni's latest Spring/Summer '08 ad campaign; her piercing baby blues entice you and stand out against the dark background. Despite being dressed in Missoni's luxurious designs, Bianca is one with nature. She gives the phrase "hug a tree" a whole new, posh meaning. I appreciate that these ads capture nature at its prettiest and I love the way Read more
Take Gucci's Spring collection, add a smidgen of Missoni's Spring line, and sprinkle in models-of-the-moment Kim Noorda, Irina Lazareanu, and Milagros Schmoll, and what do you get? Mango's Spring/Summer collection! The latest pieces display the bright pink and yellow hues of Gucci, the oversized floral prints of Missoni, and a bit of safari style. Literally, there is something for everyone so go Read more
I can never resist a Beatles tribute and that's why this Spring/Summer '08 Swatch ad campaign stood out to me when I was reading the digital version of V magazine. The girlie minidresses and shorts the models are sporting paint quite the fashionable picture. I'll admit that I've never thought of Swatch watches as cool, but these ads are helping to change my view. What is especially smart about Read more
We're always looking for a fashion fix in our lovely city of San Francisco. We just attended the Academy of Art University 2008 fashion show, which celebrated the blood, sweat, and tears the fashion students have endured at the Academy. The event brought out a mixed crowd of students, SF socialites, local press, and noted fashion designers, John Galanos and Ralph Rucci. I was quite impressed with Read more
Etro isn't the only one who mastered the mix for Spring. Dries Van Noten's creations came to life with colors, patterns, with artsy-cum-ethnic undertones. The loudest message from Dries' Spring line was the concept of feminine clashing. Peach fused with army green fused with purple fused with electric blue. It sounds all-over-the-place, and in a sense, it was . . . but the result was cohesive Read more
Have you ever played with fun-house mirrors? Staring at these Spring/Summer 2008 ads from Blumarine brings me back to those fun times. Finnish model Suvi Koponen is seen lounging on retro pink sofas, wearing Blumarine's lingerie-inspired collection. These ads are quite trippy, like I'm inside a lava lamp, so I can't look at them for more than a minute. Still, I appreciate the novelty and the Read more
I'm always game for something different, and these shots definitely fit that description. The Mondrian-inspired background juxtaposed with Valentino's ruffly Spring couture collection, featuring model Alison Nix, is an unexpected surprise, but I think it works. I love the idea of using geometric shapes and primary colors to back such a soft collection. Are you a fan? View 5 Photos Read more
While some Spring shows had us scratching our heads, Etro's collection had us saying, "Must. Have. Now." One of the factors, besides the ethnic weave skirt, that contributed to our drooling were the fringe sandals. Fringe sandal/boots were also spotted, but the wedges are much more wearable in hot climates. Too bad they're too expensive to be picked off the runway and brought straight to my Read more
