If you woke up this morning and did a quick scroll through Instagram with one eye open, you might have seen one exciting bit of beauty news pop up: Céline Dion announcing her new gig as spokeswoman for L’Oréal Paris. “I want everyone to feel that they have the right to express themselves, whether it is […]

Watch the Skittles commercial »

We’ve speculated before on the connection between high fashion influences and mass-market advertising, but usually the former debuts months before the latter. However, it seems like the Don Drapers over at DDB LatinWorks are following the same trends as Karl Lagerfeld. Released on Monday (that’s a full day before Chanel’s Fall 2012 show!) the newest Skittles commercial revolves around some pretty familiar eyebrows. Sure, they aren’t hand embroidered by Lesage, but we find it a rather delicious coincidence nonetheless.

Bring on the lipstick! See all the posters »

When you think of beauty trends, weight loss commercials are generally not the first (or even second, third, or fourth!) thing that comes to mind. However, we can’t stop watching this French ad for Weight Watchers—all because of its stunning makeup artistry. Created by Parisian agency Fred & Farid, the commercial and posters are a huge departure from anything we’ve see this side of the Atlantic. Gone are the approachable spokeswomen and their before and after poses. Instead: bright, highly saturated shots of lips and food—with creative lipstick designs at the centre of it all.

Meow! From United Bamboo’s conceptual calendar to Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham’s must-have kitty prints, cats are a trend that continue to infiltrate the fashion industry. So when Toronto-based advertising agency John St. released their “catvertising” video this week, we were on board—assuming, of course, that this means more fashion and feline collaborations are in […]

We have a little pre-Valentine’s day, Friday afternoon treat for you: Shots from Aldo’s spring/summer campaign, shot by Terry Richardson and starring Jessica Stam. While the campaign is ostensibly about Aldo’s shoes and accessories (check the cute bow bracelet on the first slide), photo–a big red heart, a giant ice-cream cone, a hot lips phone […]

The fashion world is extending yet another prestigious invitation to Tavi Gevinson: Fashion Television has enlisted the 13-year-old blogger to cover her choice of three shows–Alexander Wang, Y-3 and Marc Jacobs–at New York Fashion Week. The show’s regular host, one Jeanne Beker, will be in Vancouver covering the Olympics. [Toronto Life]

It really did take us a while to spot Zimmermann in this Nick Knight-snapped ad for Alexander McQueen‘s Spring 2010 campaign. First you see the shoe (oh that infamous shoe) and then your eye travels up and right, putting the image together piece by piece until you arrive at a Medusa-like clutch of hair and […]

Jamie Bochert is headlining the Lanvin ads for spring 2010. “I thought maybe we need a bit of action,” said artistic director Alber Elbaz. Shot by photographer Steven Meisel, the campaign has Bochert running, bending and dodging in feminine Lanvin ruffles.  Bochert also poses over a toilet in Marc Jacobs’ spring campaign. [WWD]

Beyoncé is launching her first fragrance. Heat comes out at the end of January, inspired by all the pyrotechnics a Beyoncé concert demands. “A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat,’” the singer told WWD. Suffice to say, the ads will be steamy. [WWD]

Few things leave us at a loss for words, but this Michael Bay-shot action movie Victoria’s Secret commercial really and truly does. But let’s try: Helicopters. Explosions. Heavy metal. Circus. Knife throwing. Mansion filled with wind. Classic cars. Spiral staircase in the desert.

Wow.
