Fab Ad: Zac Posen Spring '09

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 01:00:22 PDT

Ladies and gents, you're looking at Zac Posen's ad campaign debut. Here's the story on why he decided to jump on the bandwagon now. The publisher of indie fashion magazine Fanzine137, Luis Venegas, made him an offer he couldn't refuse: a double spread to create his ideal ad. Posen quickly assembled a team - Ellen von Unwerth as the photographer, his stylist friend Christopher Niquet, and model Alexandra Tomlinson - and got to work at his friend Lorraine Kirke’s house. "Once Ellen saw me singing Cole Porter, laying on top of Lorraine’s grand piano, she decided it had to be the spot for the picture," Posen said. We think it's kind of boring, what do you think?

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. There is no better way to start your romance-filled day than with shots from Ellen von Unwerth's 2005 book, Plumes & Dentelles (Feathers and Lace). Trust me, it will not only put you in a loving mood, but also a lusting mood! Models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Melissa Rose Haro play dress up, Marie Antoinette-style. Pink, lace, ruffles, corsets, flowers, garters, pearls - if it's a symbol of sexy, it's included. These seriously make me want to rummage Agent Provocateur, pronto. Who knows, maybe it will inspire you to reenact the scenes for your honey tonight. Wink, wink.

Fab Flash: Teri Hatcher Fronts Badgley Mischka Campaign

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 11:20:22 PDT

She may play a desperate housewife, but that didn't deter Badgley Mischka from picking Teri as the face of their glamorous Fall collection. Shot by Ellen von Unwerth, who is famous for her vampy style, Teri explained why she, of Wisteria Lane fame, was chosen: "This is not just about couture. It is how every woman deserves to feel beautiful."

The photographs delivered have a campy feel to them, and I have to say: I'm not a fan. Though I adore von Unwerth's works, this is too much cheese and not enough of the glamour a Badgley Mischka collection deserves.

The campaign will appear in next month's issues of Vogue, Instyle, and Vanity Fair, as well as in an outdoor campaign.

Claudia Schiffer Returns to Guess For Its 30th Anniversary Looking Like She Hasn't Aged a Day

Chi Diem Chau — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:15:55 PDT

One look at Claudia Schiffer in these iconic Guess ad campaigns and we immediately get transported back to the late '80s and early '90s. Remember the days when we used to wear high-waisted jeans with lace tops? Well, those days might be coming back, thanks to Guess's 30th anniversary campaign featuring the supermodel once again. Schiffer looks like she hasn't aged a day, replicating her old Guess ads shot by famous photographer Ellen von Unwerth. "She was a turning point of Guess; she was a turning point of Ellen's career; Guess was a turning point of a life for Claudia," said CEO and creative director Paul Marciano. "Everybody talked about the Guess Girl." In celebration of Guess's 30 years, the brand will also be launching a special 15-piece capsule collection inspired by Schiffer and other Guess models, featuring Anna Nicole Smith printed tees, cutoff jeans originally modeled by Adriana Lima, and a cheeky gingham top worn by Eva Herzigova. Prices range from $39 to $138, and will be available April 24 at Guess flagship stores, Macy's, and on its new website, guess1981.com, launching soon for its anniversary. Check out more iconic images of Claudia Schiffer in Guess ads, present and past, and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

Taylor Momsen's Perfume Commercial Is Actually Nice

Don't know how this one initially slipped under our radar, but here's Taylor Momsen's video spot for John Galliano's latest fragrance, Parlez-Moi D'Amour. And though my inner grumpy mom doesn't understand why this 17-year-old can't just find some pants already, I have to admit, the end result is a lot softer than what I expected. The background music is by Taylor's band, The Pretty Reckless, and director Ellen Von Unwerth gives the whole thing a sensual look. In case you missed it, here's Taylor's beauty evolution; you'll be surprised by how much she's changed.
