Fab Ad: Michael Kors, Fall '09
Carmen and Noah are once again muse for Michael Kors, but for Fall, the designer took the hotties off the yacht and into the city. Shot by Mario Testino, the plan was "to reflect the urban nature of the season." The couple is attending a Broadway show.
Fab Ad: D&G Fall '09
I don't think Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have the word "simple" in their vocabulary. Their Dolce & Gabbana Fall '09 ads are Vegas-style over-the-top, while their latest D&G Fall '09 ad, shot by Mario Testino, is regally grand. Everything is opulent — the luxurious carpet, the decadent bookshelves, the plush sofa.
Emma Watson = Burberry Hottie
We couldn't be more amazed with Emma Watson's highly anticipated ads for Burberry. Shot at its new headquarters in London, photographer Mario Testino captured the budding stylista looking calm and cool all while wearing Burberry's iconic trench coats and leather handbags. “I wanted the images to represent both the rich history and the modernity of the Burberry brand, while at the same time reflecting a quiet beauty, timelessness and strength that is particularly significant today,” said Christopher Bailey, creative director of Burberry.
V Magazine's Glowing Spring Affair
Always innovative and apparently optimistic, V Magazine’s Spring '09 issue hits NYC newsstands today. You can't miss the cover — even you vampires out there — because it glows in the dark! A special UV gloss causes the V and the words “V GLOW IN THE DARK” to actually glow.
Fab Ad: Burberry Spring '09
I'm smitten by Burberry's Spring '09 campaign. Staying true to the label's roots, Creative Director Christopher Bailey enlisted Mario Testino to shoot an all-Brit clan looking stylishly rumpled in Burberry's garden delight offerings. The cast spotlights Lily Donaldson with fellow models Eden Clarke, Alexina Graham, and Richard Wyndham.
Freaky or Fabulous? Paris Vogue Gives Anti-Fur the Finger
European Vogue magazines are pushing some fashion buttons. Alas, fashion must always be exciting, daring, and innovative. Can I get an amen?
Fab Flash: Natalia and Isabeli Snag Versace Campaign
Donatella Versace may be all about celebrities to front her mens line (cough) Patrick Dempsey, but over at Versace womens, it's all about the models. Fab favorites Isabeli Fontana and Natalia Vodianova have been tapped to replace Gisele Bundchen for the Versace Fall ads.
The new duo is shooting with photographer Mario Testino today in Manhattan — perfect, since Donatella's in town for the launch of Versace's menswear.
Fab Ad: Gisele Bundchen For Versace
There's nothing like a little supermodel wattage to up the ante of an ad campaign. Gisele lends her star power to Versace for Spring, appearing in a rainbow of colors and various states of dishabille. Those enviable legs of hers get closeups along with bangles, bags, and Louboutin-like red-soled shoes.
Fab Flash: Mario Testino to Mentor Kate Middleton
After leaving her job as a fashion buyer at UK fashion chain Jigsaw in October, Kate Middleton has finally found a new appointment.
Prince William's girlfriend is set to hone her photography skills working for famed fashion photographer Mario Testino in his Manhattan studios starting in March. Lucky for Kate, Testino has a close connection with the royal family, and shot Princess Diana numerous times, most notably just before her tragic death.
Fab Ad: D&G Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer '08
The dominatrix is out, and the lux hippie is in. Fab! I have been loathing Dolce & Gabbana's ads for a couple seasons now; they've just been too harsh and in your face.
