Fab Flash: Claire Danes to Represent Gucci Fine Jewelry

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:00:22 -0700

Claire Danes has quite the tough act to follow. It was announced today that she is replacing Drew Barrymore, who was Gucci's first ever celebrity campaign face, as the Gucci Fine Jewelry girl.

Drew's ads were stunning, and hopefully Claire's will be just as iconic - she's being photographed by the same duo as Drew - Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

As for the reasoning behind the choice, Gucci's designer Frida Giannini explains: "Claire's sensual, confident beauty and her passionate, independent, and strong character embodies today's Gucci woman." The ads are set to debut this Fall.

Fab Flash: Naomi Campbell Mugs For YSL Fall Campaign

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Fall ad campaign shoots are jumping into full swing, and the latest intelligence comes from Paris, by way of Yves Saint Laurent.

Rumor has it Spring YSL campaign model Kate Moss has been ousted in favor of another controversy-embroiled supermodel: Naomi Campbell. She was supposedly photographed recently in Paris by famed fashion photographer duo Ines van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Moving from supermodel to supermodel . . . not too shabby!

Fab Ad: Yves Saint Laurent Spring/Summer '08

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:00:22 -0800

I think it's safe to say if you book Kate Moss for an ad campaign she can single-handedly ameliorate the brand. Then, choose to have hubbie/wife duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shoot, and, well, you get something quite fabulous. As you know I'm on a YSL kick, especially in the handbag arena, and the designer of 2007, Alber Elbaz, may have some stiff competition in the Year of the Rat. As for Kate, she's the chic girl who would never be caught yearning for fashion through a store window, but she is. That's the power of YSL.

Thanks for the scans cnycy1a!

Fab Ad: Yves Saint Laurent Spring '09

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:00:22 -0800

When we found out Claudia Schiffer was Stefano Pilati's Spring muse, we were pretty sure the outcome was going to be Fab. See for yourself.

Shot in LA, right smack in front of the Hollywood sign "Y," it is stunning. Though you can barely recognize Claudia's face - it's more just a statuesque blonde in a long and lean navy ensemble - you can tell it's a pro in YSL garb. And notice how the silver grid shoes tie in with the black grid structure. Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, this image will also serve as the cover of YSL's next manifesto. Behold: Spring YSL.

On Our Radar: Gap Launches Limited Edition Artist T-Shirt Collection

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Gap will be unveiling a limited edition artist t-shirt collection set to launch in select stores and online May 15th. In celebration of the 2008 Whitney Biennial, Gap has joined forces with top contemporary artists in producing limited edition artist tees. Some artists include Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, and Kiki Smith with t-shirt designs ranging from political messages to colorful abstract confections. I especially like the bright burst on the Glenn Ligon tee. The classically Gap ad campaign was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin - Fab, as usual. Something to look forward to!

Freaky or Fabulous? Carmen Kass, the Alien

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Dutch photographers Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin have shot many a fashion editorial but this one for V Magazine may be the creepiest yet. It's almost painful to look at model Carmen Kass' protruding bones and alien-like neck. Her face is pretty, but it looks as though her head is going to snap off at any moment. Freaky! What do you think?

Fab Ad: Giuseppe Zanotti Spring '09

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Deee-lish. It takes a bold gesture for a fashion ad to stop me flipping. I always love a '50s throwback to the swell days of muscle cars and poodle skirts. Would you have been a Rizzo or a Sandra Dee? In the Spring Giuseppe Zanotti ads, shot by Inez & Vinoodh, model Anja Rubki is a bit of both, and, therefore, deee-lish. I love the simplicity and candy colors. And, I can always be enticed with an ice cream sundae. The shoes, as always, are delectable. Rizzo Dee's uniform of sequin mini and tee is also a fun look to mimic when you're feeling frisky. So tell me: do you feel frisky?

Fab Ad: Gucci, Cruise '10

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:00:22 -0800

Let's take a mini escape from Fall and focus on resort. For their Cruise '10 collection, Gucci ditched most of its Fall '09 models but kept Natasha Poly and added Snejana Onopka. The campaign was shot in Barcelona by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott - Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin previously shot Gucci campaigns. Snejana, Natasha, and male model Ryan Kennedy have a sun-filled time while we sit back and gaze in envy. The vacationing trio should be having a blast, but rather, they look quite disconnected from one another. Why so serious? Well, at least they look spotless. What do you think?

Girls on Film: Daria Werbowy and Co., Vogue Paris, August '09

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Contrary to what was originally reported, Vogue Paris's August issue is not all about Daria Werbowy. Bummer. The Canadian shares the spotlight with fellow models Eniko Mihalik, Anja Rubik, Raquel Zimmermann, Lara Stone, Regina Feoktistova, and many more. Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin capture 64 essential Fall designer looks - some silly, some serious, some sexy, some demure. But all equally fab-u-lous, like Daria having a blast in Balmain (left). Here are more highlights.
