Much has been said about Jeremy Scott’s wild Moschino debut collection, which hit the runway in a blaze of junk food glory earlier this year as part of Fall 2014 fashion week in Milan. Amongst the adjectives used to describe the McDonalds-inspired collection, “trashy,” “over-the-top” and maybe even “delicious” come to mind, but “elegant”? Probably not.

In the just-released ad campaign for the collection, Scott flips that right on its head, with a series of elegant photos starring Linda Evangelista, Stella Tennant, Saskia de Brauw, Carolyn Murphy, Karen Elson and Raquel Zimmerman as modern-day society swans in the trashy wares. Photographed by Steven Meisel and styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, the black and white photos recall mid-nineties Peter Lindbergh while keeping it classy with boucle and Guido Paulo updos.

While Burberry was all about romance for Fall 2013, Miuccia Prada’s campaigns for both Prada and Miu Miu veered towards the dark and surreal.

Shot by photographer Steven Meisel under the hair-raising light of a cold and ominous casting studio, Prada’s Fall 2013 campaign serves as the perfect setting to showcase the film noir glamour of the fall collection. The campaign’s short film stars 9 models, who play the roles of hopeful actresses, preparing for auditions and reciting lines. The dark and desolate theme mirrored that of Prada’s Fall 2013 fashion week show in which models walked down a shadow-clad runway. Miuccia Prada, the designer behind the label, was quoted post-show by style.com saying “through cloth, you can really make movies,” reinforcing the theme of the campaign. The short film stands out our radar for both it’s seriously dramatic tone and because of an appearance by 19-year-old model Malaika Firth, the first black model cast by the brand in almost two decades. Firth holds her own alongside top models Christy Turlington and Freja Beha which is a feat to say the least. The 9 model-strong cast is reminiscent of the label’s much lighter Spring 2013 advertising campaign, also shot by Meisel, in which 10 models embodied the delicate, frilly characteristics of flowers featured on garments in the Spring 2013 collection.

It’s been a couple of months since we first feasted on Prada’s Spring 2013 collection, but any weariness of those toe sock/thong shoes has all been washed away with the just-released spring campaign.

Simply put, Prada’s Spring 2013 collection was a whole lotta Japan-meets-sixties look, and it seems that streamlined styling was the name of the game for the Steven Meisel-shot advertising images. The modeling A-list amongst its stars include Raquel Zimmerman, Saskia de Brauw, Eva Herzigova, Sasha Pivovarova, who all pose against stark grey backgrounds in furry coats, hot pants, daisy sunglasses and more. The flatform heels with the toe socks make a re-appearance but have been styled in a way that we know when Fall 2013 street style photos come pouring in, these shoes have the potential to shot day after day.

Who can get Hilary Rhoda, Caroline Trentini, Jessica Stam, Karen Elson, Sung Hee, Daphne Groeneveld, and Candice Swanepoel modeling in a room together? Miuccia Prada can.

In the Miu Miu Resort 2013 campaign and look book, the model A-team took to a brocade curtained room that resembles a grandmother’s house and, you know, they modeled.

Ever since Kristen Stewart was announced as the face of Balenciaga’s latest fragrance Florabotanica, we’ve been following its launch every step of the way.

Lady Gaga continues to entice us with the premiere of two teaser videos for her soon-to-be-released eau de parfum, Fame. In true Lady Gaga form, the results are a sensory feast, shot by fashion photographer Steven Klein. The videos play on the dark nature of Lady Gaga’s black-to-clear fragrance and feature sinister imagery that naturally includes lots of leather and latex.

Looks like the first instalment of Fall 2012 ad campaigns is here, and we’re happy to report it’s an amazing one. For its latest trip down geek chic lane, Prada tapped Steven Meisel to capture the retro-future collection. (Shall we recount the number of pentagon prints on the pants/bags/carpet we spotted at the show?) From the […]

The hotly anticipated Haute Mess editorial from Vogue Italia dropped today and it’s a glitter lover and nail-art fanatic’s dream. Photographed by Steven Meisel, the shoot includes some of the most familiar faces in modeling. But thanks to makeup artist Pat McGrath and hairstylist Jimmy Paul, it takes a keen eye to identify Joan Smalls, Jessica Stam, Karen Elson, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld, Guinevere van Seenus, and Coco Rocha underneath the wigs, gemstones, and pencil-thin eyebrows.

This month it seems like fashion magazines are turning more and more towards art for inspiration, creating editorials that blur the lines between the two. For Garage magazine photographer Fulvio Bonavia and stylist Giovanna Battaglia, this resulted in creating replicas of dresses from designers Fall 2011 collections—using food. Did you ever think you would see a McQueen dress made entirely of lettuce or a Louis Vuitton dress made of walnuts? Neither did we.

The foodatorial comes just a week after W magazine revealed two covers for their Art and Fashion issue: one, by artist Ai Wei Wei, depicts a model being tackled to the ground and the other, by artist Francesco Vezzoli, features Nicki Minaj as a stately lady complete with grey hair and pearls. Inside the issue are several ad parodies photographed by Steven Meisel. While designers gaining inspiration from art is nothing new, the covers and editorials born out of a fine art muse have been a breath of fresh air.

“It’s like acting for me. I always try to understand the inspiration behind the photo shoot—the woman, film or book that we’re translating into a photograph.”
