Check out hottie Iselin Steiro donning Zara's Spring/Summer collection. The French country meets art-nouveau photo shoot is quite intriguing and I like how the soft shapes contrasts against Iselin's strong features. Doesn't this ad make you want to run to the nearest Zara and shop, shop, shop?

Fab Face Bianca Balti is the perfect girl to star in Missoni's latest Spring/Summer '08 ad campaign; her piercing baby blues entice you and stand out against the dark background. Despite being dressed in Missoni's luxurious designs, Bianca is one with nature. She gives the phrase "hug a tree" a whole new, posh meaning.

Take Gucci's Spring collection, add a smidgen of Missoni's Spring line, and sprinkle in models-of-the-moment Kim Noorda, Irina Lazareanu, and Milagros Schmoll, and what do you get? Mango's Spring/Summer collection! The latest pieces display the bright pink and yellow hues of Gucci, the oversized floral prints of Missoni, and a bit of safari style.

I can never resist a Beatles tribute and that's why this Spring/Summer '08 Swatch ad campaign stood out to me when I was reading the digital version of V magazine. The girlie minidresses and shorts the models are sporting paint quite the fashionable picture. I'll admit that I've never thought of Swatch watches as cool, but these ads are helping to change my view.

We're always looking for a fashion fix in our lovely city of San Francisco. We just attended the Academy of Art University 2008 fashion show, which celebrated the blood, sweat, and tears the fashion students have endured at the Academy. The event brought out a mixed crowd of students, SF socialites, local press, and noted fashion designers, John Galanos and Ralph Rucci.

Etro isn't the only one who mastered the mix for Spring. Dries Van Noten's creations came to life with colors, patterns, with artsy-cum-ethnic undertones. The loudest message from Dries' Spring line was the concept of feminine clashing.

Have you ever played with fun-house mirrors? Staring at these Spring/Summer 2008 ads from Blumarine brings me back to those fun times. Finnish model Suvi Koponen is seen lounging on retro pink sofas, wearing Blumarine's lingerie-inspired collection.

I'm always game for something different, and these shots definitely fit that description.
The Mondrian-inspired background juxtaposed with Valentino's ruffly Spring couture collection, featuring model Alison Nix, is an unexpected surprise, but I think it works. I love the idea of using geometric shapes and primary colors to back such a soft collection.

While some Spring shows had us scratching our heads, Etro's collection had us saying, "Must. Have. Now."
