Sneak Peek! Zara, Fall '09

FabSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Zara's look books are always dangerous territory - they tempt us with runway-inspired looks for way less. For Fall '09, Toni Garrn models LBDs with prominent shoulders a la Balmain, faux fur vests, tweed coats, military-inspired details, and lots of crisp white shirts. This one puffed-shoulder dress is clearly inspired by Dolce and Gabbana's Fall line. I have to be frank, Zara's Fall '08 with Sasha Pivovarova tempted me way more, but that doesn't mean I won't still go into the store. Who knows, I may even fall in love, like I often do in Zara. What do you think?

Fab Ad: Calvin Klein Jeans Fall 2008

While most brands continue to use celebrities as models, Calvin Klein Jeans has replaced Kate Bosworth with real models for its Fall campaign. And these aren't just any unknown models. Abbey Lee, Agnete Hegelund, and Toni Garrn are the latest crop of It models posing for the black and white photos. These are supposed to remind you of the old-school Calvin Klein Jeans ads with Kate Moss and Jenny Shimizu - only these models are fully clothed. I dig the random posing. What do you think about these?

Fab Ad: Jill Stuart Fall 2008

Minus the fact that the model (Toni Garrn) is average at best, and I keep staring at the awesome paint background instead of the clothes, I am enamored by Jill Stuart's Fall 2008 ad campaign. It's gritty and messy, yet manages to look polished. Through these ads, the brand has perfected the dichotomy of grit and glamour. I admit I prefer Lindsay Lohan as a Jill Stuart model over Toni, but you can't beat this kind of setting. What do you think?

Fab Ad: Chloé Fall '09

I once spoke of the fashion metamorphosis of the house of Chloé and its ad campaign transformation. I feel like when it comes to ads, Chloé has done it all: streets, deserts, beach, and now Spanish wheat fields. This is the second major ad campaign for designer Hannah MacGibbon, and she has stuck with photographer Mikael Jansson. What she hasn't stuck with are the same models as Spring. Instead of Anna Maria Jagodzinska and Toni Garrn, she chose Kasia Struss, Sigrid Agren, and Karlie Kloss. Do you dig this or is it way too au naturel?

Fab Ad: Prada Spring/Summer '09

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, it makes for awesome dramatic effect. The clothes are slightly undone and neutrally colored, but the models are polished with their chignons and glossy skin. And those shoes - the ones that had models tripping up on the runway - the shoes look fantastically folksy. What do you think, has Prada outdone themselves?
