Fab Ad: Lady Dior Spring '09 With Marion Cotillard

FabSugar — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:00:08 -0800

Warning: the Lady Dior Spring '09 ad you're seeing has been done by highly trained professionals and should not be recreated! French actress Marion Cotillard appears to be standing at the edge of the Eiffel Tower to fulfill her modeling duties as the face of Christian Dior's Lady Dior handbags. Of course, the always-handy Photoshop has made it possible for this shot to be fantastical. But let's not forget to credit photographer Peter Lindbergh for capturing this beautiful shot of Marion and her handbag. What do you think? Is Lady Dior's latest ad magical or unrealistic? Source

Wow! Nothing is more spectacular than Marion overlooking Paris.

Strictly eye candy to me!

This ad is so fake; it doesn't appeal to me at all.

Other — do tell!

Fab Flash: Katie Holmes for Miu Miu

Miu Miu always surprise me with their choice of stars for the ad campaigns. Last season Vanessa Paradis fronted the campaign for their luxe sportswear Autumn line and today it was revealed that Katie Holmes will star in the Spring one.

People announced this morning that Miu Miu have confirmed Katie following many rumours linking the actress and the Italian brand. It is suspected that the images were shot last week when Katie was spotted out with her daughter Suri. It is expected to have been shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

I'm very intrigued and can't wait to see the finished pictures. How will Katie suit the apron designs?

Fab Ad: Prada Resort '09

Miuccia went all-out glamorous in her '09 Resort campaign and I like it. The ad, shot by Steven Meisel, features dutch model Ymre Stiekema holding on to Prada's embellished bags. I like how her full frontal face shot demands attention. Ymre's black zip jacket makes for the perfect backdrop against the colorful satin bags and I fancy her green bedazzled nails. One would think that so much glitz would overpower a model, but not when it comes to Ymre. Her strong features go perfectly with Prada's dazzling designs. What do you think?Source

Ymre looks beautiful and so do the bags — love it!

Yuck; too cheesy for my taste.

Fab Ad: Donna Karan, Spring '09

Designer Donna Karan has devised a genius money-saving marketing plan. Instead of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new ad campaign, she used runway photos from her Spring '09 collection. The beautiful result is below. Of course, the catwalk shots have been reinterpreted and given a new layout. “We wanted to get our message across in a creative way but with a consciousness,” Karan said. Makes complete sense. Amid a sea of dramatized ads, it's refreshing to see something authentic. The runway is where it all begins, so why not spotlight it further? What do you think? Source

Love it, what a cost-efficient and chic idea.

Meh, it's OK, but the clothes are gorgeous.

Love it or Hate it: Karen Elson for Donna Karan

FabSugarUK — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:00:43 -0800

Karen Elson is the face of Donna Karan for autumn/winter 2008 and this month I spotted this ad in Vogue UK. I really like Karen, and am amazingly jealous of her fiery red hair. My love for her grew during the autumn Zac Posen show where she laughed her way through a fall. I am not sure about this very pink ad campaign, I think I prefer Karen when she looks a bit edgy. What do you think?

Fab Ad: Gap Holiday Collection

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 07:00:22 -0800

No one captures the holiday spirit quite like the Gap. It always manages to gather 'round the most adorable celebrities and models for its colorful holiday collection. This time around, sisters and models Frankie and Missy Rayder, (left), Mary-Louise Parker, Milla Jovovich, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Bateman, Rainn Wilson, and more are all part of the fun. Milla and Jason even brought their kids along for the ride. Aw! Argyle sweaters, cardigan dresses, stripe scarves, cozy hoodies — they all look so good wrapped around the stars, especially Twilight hottie Cam Gigandet. Do you dig the latest Gap ads?

Fab Ad: Michael Kors Cruise '09

Does looking at this picture make you swoon with envy? I don't blame you. Life couldn't be better for models Carmen Kass and Noah Mills as they pose for Michael Kor's '09 Cruise campaign. Photographed by Mario Testino, Carmen looks like a sun-kissed beach babe in Kor's colorful assortment of swimsuits, dresses, and tunics. I like how each outfit is styled to the nines with yummy accessories and handbags. Noah's (lack of) clothes is pretty fabulous, too. Hmmm . . . I wonder if I can squeeze in some time for a Winter vacay in the Tropics.

Love this ad — who can resist Carmen and Noah?

Ugh. Not very original and kind of boring.

Fab Flash: Daisy Lowe for Marc by Marc Jacobs

FabSugarUK — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 03:00:19 -0800

Fab favourite Daisy Lowe has this week been revealed as the new face of Marc by Marc Jacobs. Daisy is following in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham who fronted the campaign last year, Sofia Coppola and Meg White.

Jacobs told WWD, “I think she looks adorable," and I couldn't agree more! The Spring/Summer '09 campaign will be shot by Juergen Teller. Whilst Daisy appears in the ads for the younger line, Raquel Zimmerman will front the womenswear collection.

Earlier this year Daisy appeared in ad campaigns for Agent Provocateur, Diesel, Converse All Stars and Doc Martens.

Fab Ad: Bottega Veneta Resort '09

FabSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 08:00:22 -0800

Bottega Veneta's first resort campaign left my eyes yearning for more. Sometimes a half face shot is all you need when you're as beautiful as Colette Pechekhonova. Shot by Vanity Fair's Todd Eberle, the ad evokes a clean, calm aesthetic with Colette posing in an ill Bottega Veneta blue leather trench coat. “Eberle explores the nuance and subtlety of architecture,” said Maier. “He brought a unique understanding of line and color to the images, balancing abstract ideas with the individuality of the woman.” I like how the blue leather contrasts the bright green crocodile clutch. Note how Colette's natural makeup allows for full attention on Bottega's luxurious goods. What do you think?Source

Love Bottega, love Colette — amazing!

Kinda boring if you ask me.

Fab Flash: Claudia Schiffer For YSL

FabSugarUK — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:00:32 -0800

This season we are truly seeing the return of the great supermodel, as age defying beauties like Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell continue to dominate the magazines. Whether appearing in shoots for glossies (like Crawford appearing in this month's French Vogue) or heading ad campaigns (like Campbell for for YSL) it seems you can't escape these beautiful ladies.

This week it has been revealed that Claudia Schiffer is to be the face of Yves Saint Laurent's Spring '09 campaign following in the footsteps of Campbell. Schiffer revealed the news at Vogue's party on Monday night where she wore a gorgeous dress from Louis Vuitton's Autumn line.

She also added that she would be working with Dolce & Gabbana and Salvatore Ferragamo for Spring too. The YSL ad campaign was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin last month in LA.
