Chanel Cruise 2013

The show was opened by this season sweetheart Cara Delevingne. It took place in Versaille. In context of François Hollande win in the presidential race, the clothes, inspired by the times of Marie Antoinette (and considering the place) and Louis XIV royal court, drew a lot of attention.

Personally we loved the hats: [is it possible to make those as a DIY home project?]

We leave you with pictures, video and Karl's photo:

Fashion Month #1. Beginning.

*Prada Mannequins are waiting for the new season's shows to start, sitting in the front row.

Our favourite time of the year has come. 4 weeks of new collections in the main fashion-capitals - New York, London, Paris and Milan. And a lot of fashion-related events.

Let's start the Spring/Summer 2012 season!

We are waiting not only for summer clothes made of light semi-transparent fabrics (on the runaway), but also for the editors, buyers and fashion-bloggers to rock the main fall trends (in the audience and in the streets).

And while we are forcing our way through hundreds of photos from the recent GQ awards party, Fashion's Night Out and first days of New York Fashion Week, you can watch half a dozen of new ad videos.

1. Ad campaign of Lanvin which was met with enthusiasm by all the critics (by Steven Meisel).

2. New video of Dior's perfume J'adore starring Charlize Theron (by Jean-Jacques Annaud).

3. A genuine film (the whole 105 seconds) which is promised to be continued - ad video of Trésor Midnight Rose (by Mario Testino).

4. Cheerful ad campaign of new Chanel nail polish.

5. Another work of Mario Testino (this time in collaboration with Christopher Bailey) that became a sensation long before its premiere (watch the video and you'll understand why) - an advertisement of a new Burberry fragrance - Burberry BODY. Starring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.


See you soon!

Developping the sense of smell. UPDATED!

We love ad campaigns of new men's fragrances.
1. Boss Bottled Night with Ryan Reynolds.
After having exchanged compliments:
Ryan: "BOSS is a brand that not only represents classic style and sophistication, but inspires men to work hard, embrace opportunities and strive for success in all aspect of their lives. I’m honored BOSS invited me to be the face of its new men’s fragrance".
Marketing Director of Hugo Boss Tomas Burkhardt: "He is stylish, dynamic and confident with a tenacity and determination that make him an ideal role model of modern success".
Ryan and Hugo made a beatiful video with lots of nice black colour:

BTW, there is one more interesting thing with Hugo Boss: Natalia Vodyanova has become "Boss Black" new face!

2. The Big Pony Collection
The best way to describe this video is a youtube comment from HollyJ93: "i've never seen so many good looking people at once! i'm not even noticing the girls, i'm too busy staring at those amazing men!!!!"

3. Marc Jacobs "Bang"
If you want something done right, do it yourself! Marc Jacobs repeats this mantra every day and he follows it.
Model: Mark
Photographer: Juergen Teller

The results of herd work:


You loved it too, admit it!

See you soon, girls and boys!
