Carolina Herrera Fall 2012 Campaign

I saw Carolina Herrera Fall-Winter 2012-13 fashion show on my last visit to New York during fashion week, and it was an unforgettable experience for me. It was simply dreamy – the gowns, the dresses, the volumes, the colors and the feminine silhuettes were stunning. It was a collection to remember – and I was so glad to recall my memories of it when I saw the Fall 2012 campaign, and even happier to watch the making-of video of the fall campaign shoot. Lensed by Patrick Demarchelier, of course. He is the perfect photographer for this style for sure. The result is beautiful – I wouldn’t mind walking up on 5th Avenue’s wet streets dressed in Carolina Herrera’s dresses either:

Chanel Fall 12 Couture

In this lifetime (and never even close to today), I will probably never have the chance to wear couture. Maybe in my next visit to planet earth, or never at all. I do think that my own private religion says casual and simple is best, but I will always look up to the real art of fashion, and for me, it’s couture. Trevor Undi directed this video of the Chanel fall 2012 couture show. These well filmed two minutes might give you a glimpse of what I look up and into when searching for art:

Agyness Deyn for Rebecca Minkoff

After attending Rebecca Minkoff’s fashion shows this season and last season, I just new for sure that she was heading towards the right direction – up. Her little handbags brand has grown so much and so fast, and it always had a true sense of fashion in it, even when it wasn’t so obvious.

A short video taken with model Agyness Deyn walking on the beach  proofs it – Rebecca Minkoff got it. It’s not about showing as many of your designs as you can in 20 seconds. It’s about your story, it’s about who you are and it’s about your inspirations as a designer and as a brand, and that’s all.

Chanel

There is something you just can’t beat with the way Chanel N°5 is presented in the media along the years. It has always been super simple, slick, elegant and easy. It basically means the most important thing you’d want when marketing a new product: it is not about the add, the campaign, the video, the model, whatever. Its about the product, and you are 100% certain that it is the best out there, so there’s really no need to market it in a very complicated way. It is perfect, just as it is. Like this new video for the famous perfume:

Also, today I got the chance to watch the secrets of the little black jacket by Chanel. On video. I was chatting with my friend Eyal this morning after a meeting we had about this exactly – the world of fashion, and blogging mostly, goes towards video as we speak. Actually, it runs! In what other year would we be able to watch the making of a black Chanel jacket? This is just wonderful, nothing is a secret anymore, and you don’t need to imagine anything anymore as it’s filmed and online in seconds. Watch the magic here:

I mean, it’s something to think about. I will always love great fashion photography, of course, but I think I’m growing a new love to video as well. I need to think about it a little more.

Alice Dellal about working with Karl Lagerfeld

 

Karl sure knows how to spot them: the IT girls, a second after they discovered their potential to become IT girls but not so sure what to do with this discovery – he gets the, Here is Alice Dellal. She is stunning, very special and such a perfect Karl girl. OH, and the new face of Chanel handbags line, right after Blake Lively and many others:

Garance Dore for Tiffany’s

I read so many fashion blogs every day. It’s a huge part of my job and it is also something that I rally love doing. Garance Dore’s blog is absolutely one of my favorite blogs in the world. She has an amazing French chic, she is sweet and humble, and writes beautifully. Not to mention her photography skills – she is one of the best ones, for sure. She produced this video for Tiffany’s. A close or a second look at it will probably bring you all to the same conclusion – it’s perfect:
