JUUN J. F/W 2013 AD CAMPAIGN

So after buying CR Fashion Book's 3rd issue, this ad campaign by Juun.J was smack-dab in the middle of the FOB and I was obsessed. I love how the hairstyling and look is shared by both the male and female model. The hexagonal silhouette of the outerwear and sweater is a unique look, and gives a really interesting way to style the clothes. Even the logo (though its in the weirdest spot ever :I) gives structure to the photograph and keep the focus on the looks. BTW, don't forget to vote for me in the Mr. Porter Global Style Competition!

DIOR HOMME F/W 2013-14 AD CAMPAIGN

     These shots for Dior Homme's latest collection are so phenomenal. The styling, set and art direction work perfectly and create seamless cohesive images. The architecture plays off the lines in the clothing perfectly, and the cloudy background ties in the F/W Women's show. Almost gives the clothing a Star Trek, futuristic kinda vibe. I'm loving the belted blazer in the 2nd shot, and the mens shoes in the 3rd shot are a must have. Theres actually a Dior Homme store down the block from my job, so I'm definitely going to be stopping by to try on those shoes. Stay updated on my Twitter for that adventure.

ALDO F/W 2013 AD CAMPAIGN

   I'm in love with these F/W shots from Aldo's ad campaign. The styling is very "Grease" and makes me wanna bust a few John Travolta moves . Jessica Stam looks amazing and I kinda wang those boots on Jourdan Dunn's feet. I still can't get over last seasons ad campaign, with grass and pool toys sprawled all over the place. Click here to shop Aldo.

KENZO AD FALL 13 X SALVADOR DALI

PERFECT PICK: VALENTINO F/W 2013 AD CAMPAIGN

GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI F/W 13/14 AD CAMPAIGN

DKNY JEANS F/W 2010 AD CAMPAIGN.

I like these ads. Its like a lil mafia gang shopping down fifth avenue. LOL. Also, Leigh Lezark stands out so well in the bottom shot. Shot by Nathaniel Goldberg (who also shot the first W cover under Tonchi) around Chelsea, its a nice normal campaign, without the theatrics.

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 =)

bad ad.

Nina Ricci S/S 2010

It is SOOOOOOOO washed out with the powdery pink tint, and the clothes just make me think of how much better it was when Oliver was in charge. =/

ad nasty.

   So, this girl I know wants to create her own blog about fashion ads, since shes a photography major and analyzes them a lot. I suggested she call her blog AdNasty. She didn't like the name... FAIL. If one of you guys want it, you can totally have it, I didn't trademark it. Anyway, heres some more new ads that have debuted in the latest pages to catch my eye.

Stella McCartney S/S 2010

Not sure how I feel about this. We all know their ads use some sort of photoshopping, and you can tell that they chose a decent art director because the combination of the dress with the collage in the background makes for a good composition. But to those who aren't design-educated it can seem slightly random.

Michael by Michael Kors S/S 2010

If i see Carmen Kass doing one more thing Michael Kors related I'm gonna shoot myself.

Marc Jacobs S/S 2010

Maybe I'm just biased because I love Jamie Bochert but I LOVE this ad campaign. Its so whimsical. May not understand the whole "ballerina" reference in this ( I thought they would go for all this craziness maybe on a stage, or backstage or something) but it definitely  focuses on the clothes which is a plus.

Diesel S/S 2010

Like I said previously, just in love with Diesel. And all the spreads for the campaign each are in different colored text with different situations, which I like.

Oscar De La Renta S/S 2010

Very nice ad. Its such a modern way to display the clothes, and there had to be some sort of artistic direction in terms of what clothes would go with the colored background best.

As for other ads, I HATE the Chanel S/S 2010 ad. Like SERIOUSLY, COULD IT BE ANYMORE BORING? I would have Karlie Kloss posing in the mud of a ranch field. Like seriously, "FARM CHIC" AND YOU GIVE ME CLAUDIA SCHIFFER STANDING IN THE LOBBY OF A HOUSE?  Don't worry guys, I'll deliver, just give me a few more internships and a job.

magazine culture.

    So, for the 2nd project in my Foundation II class, we have to do a 16 page spread on a specific type of culture. It can be anything, and has to be illustrated in words and images. So, I was thinking of doing my book on fashion magazines, and its history and culture. I'm going to research on the history of fashion magazines, and include that in my book. For images, I was thinking of doing very romantic still-life's of various fashion magazines layed out on my desk in different positions with natural lighting. Anyone have any ideas as to which magazines I should feature? Drop me a email! metallicmarker11@gmail.com

balenciaga s/s 2010 ad campaign

IN LOVE with this ad campaign. the graphic design is SO strong.

the composition is amazing. its so balanced without two other models on the left side. and they picked the PERFECT pieces to have as the smaller images, and as the larger image all the way across. i loved it so much i made it my desktop background. and this ad is VERY reminiscent of the earlier Balenciaga ads that incorporated  a lot of graphic design/illustration which i love.

Balenciaga F/W 2001 Ad Campaign

Balenciaga S/S Ad Campaign 2001

Balenciaga S/S 2002 Ad Campaign

fashionable zombie?

so the new Lanvin Mens S/S 2010 campaign is out, and i must say the image is....well....interesting.

 what do you guys think? in one way it is a smart photograph because the woman's body is so frightening  it makes your eye move toward the man and his jacket LOL.

bye.

to ad campaign or to not ad campaign....

so the big news is Alexander Wang is having his first ad campaign. allegedly these are some of the images

or are they?  rumors are flying that they are actually from the lookbook. we will see when the ads come in magazine prints.

i think they're beautiful personally.  ad campaigns i think need to stick to this more simplistic style. and its amazing how they don't give off an editorial feel.

bye.
