BACK ON THE AIR

WOOOOOOO ok got a lot of stuff done within the past two weeks, sorry for my absence. But I'm just in time for the new F/W 2010 ad campaigns so lets check those out.

PRADA - They could have did a LOT better. This is really disappointing and boring and the man shouldn't be in the majority of the photograph.

VERSACE - LOVE IT! Such a nice change from what they usually do, and the background adds a blade runner effect.

CHANEL - I remember the day that Karl was shooting the campaign in the city  and the city was in a frenzy. The result is okay, I kinda see what Karl was going for, but it just doesn't work with the clothes. It also just throws away the whole glacier concept from the show.

LOUIS VUITTON - This ad campaign is STUNNING. The models compliment eachother SO WELL. The composition is amazing, all the models match from the hair to the way their hands touch the bag, and the backdrop matches the theme of the show exactly without being boring. It's almost as if they shot the ad campaign moments before the show.

The internship is okay, but I'm EMPLOYED! AT MACYS! WOOOOOO SO EXCITED! So I'm juggling both, and I'm trying to move into the city for September-October. I'm getting so much important things done and I'm really happy =)

atelier versace s/s 2010

not VER-SACHE.
VER-SA-CHI.
The detailing they use with the zippers and the color usage  is so graphic I just might die and become undead DISTURBIAAAAAAAAAAAAA. The circular design on the purple dress reminds me of a circle grid composition I made in my Foundation I class. I wonder if they used a grid to place that design there...

Zac Posen and the SPROUSE effect

I call it THE SPROUSE EFFECT. Its when the amazing color styling by one of my favorite designers  Stephen Sprouse, is redone in a new way. Zac Posen's S/S 2010 collection contained a few colorful, "sprouse worthy" pieces.

Love the see though jacket, also seen on the Versace runway as skirts. The 2nd outfit also contains a Sprouse signature which is the colored leggings.

The dress on the left is VERY Sprouse, just missing the marker outlining on the flowers. The dress on the right also gives off the Sprouse effect, could be stronger however if the light blue strip was removed.

This also contains the Sprouse effect, however the look could have been stronger with leggings.

Using solid colors or colerful graphic prints are slowly becoming a trend. We already saw this on Versace and a few Chanel pieces. Hopefully it can continue.

fashionable fascination / Versace S/S 2010

I don't know why my new daily ritual is watching the Versace S/S 2010 show on YouTube about 3 times a day. It has grabbed its suction cups and attached itself to me. I don't know if i like it or not, but everything about the show is SO intriguing to me. The cut ( those miniskirts!) is probably the lowest I've ever seen in my time of viewing and researching about fashion. The techno prints also really catch my eye, they are very graphic and mosaic in a futuristic way. Recently at the internship, a model came in to try on one of the Versace pieces, and yesterday, I had to go on a run to pick up a dress from a different designer, however the style was very similar to this season.

I REALLY love the pink triangle dress Natasha Poly wears, and the see through miniskirts are another favorite of mine. I love how they used the idea of a  corset, and used it as detailing throught on some of the dresses and finale gowns. I can see many women wearing it, from secretaries to steel mill workers. I was also thinking as a nice contrast that maybe a magazine do a editorial featuring the dresses in a steel mill? Especially the metal triangle dresses; I think they would create a nice contrast.

hung up fashion.

At first, it was She Wolf fashion, which had sexy silhouettes and skin. Now, "Hung Up" fashion, after the music video by Madonna. This means bright poppy colors, with a mix of a street/urban vibe. And yes, I'm watching the music video.

Versace S/S 2010

Balenciaga S/S 2010

D-Squared S/S 2010

Proenza Schouler S/S 2010

The shapes and silhouettes can vary, as long as the bright colors mixed with urban vibe is maintained. Of course there are exceptions  (2nd Balenciaga picture). This woman definitely wants to hit the clubs and dance. Unfortunately, it is a Spring trend, so we will have to wait till September to see more women "Hung Up".

she wolf fashion

so obviously as I am typing this post, im listening to "She Wolf" by Shakira. i'm thinking it would be pretty awesome if someone made a "She Wolf" collection.  but what exactly is a "She Wolf" ? and what exactly would "she" wear? well im thinking sexy, body consious, tight, detailed, pieces, that reveal enough skin to make you look twice, but not enough to make your eyes roll back. letting you know "i can be naked if you want me to " (insert purr noise). similar to Versace S/S 2010. but minus all the techno print. more like this.

Balmain S/S 2010

Lanvin S/S 2010

Givenchy S/S 2010

Marc Jacobs S/S 2010

Gareth Pugh S/S 2010

Dolce & Gabanna S/S 2010

Emilio Pucci S/S 2010

and heres the video for additional refrence

This woman is half naked, sexy,powerful and hungry for MAN!

am i spotting a trend?

and will the She Wolf grab her coat and be here to stay for F/W 10.11?

bye.

internship tommorow. / gievency ad.

so tomorrows another day at the internship. when i'm there i always like to keep busy, so ill be posting very  early in the day before i leave, and later when i get back.  check out FAINDENT on TWITTER to keep posted throughout the day on fashion.
one thing about internships is you are definitely there to WORK. a lot of people like to converse and hang out, but always keeping busy is key. you never know who you might bump into or who might pop by, and when your always working, your always doing the right thing, which equals a good impression/good reviews/ good things to come in your favor.

the latest thing to hit  print are the new Givency S/S 2010 ads.

very bold, very black and white, very graphic, and i like it.

i love the composition of b/w graphic prints on the body and the  poses of the two models Mariacarla Bonosco and  Natalia Vodianova. photographed by Mert and Marcus, it gives me a very 90 Versace ad feel. with some designers choosing to use prints this season, we might see more ads with a early Versace influence.
