J.MENDEL F/W 2015 NY FASHION WEEK RTW

Mendel, like many designers feeling the ’70s this season, used skinny scarves as a styling prop, like the black embroidered version tied around the waist of a lingerie-inspired jumpsuit.

The clothes spoke to that as well: a sexy, elegant sort of glamour girl who parties at the swankiest clubs all night but has done it enough to be up, alert and seductive as she makes her way through the next day.

CALVIN KLEIN F/W 2015 NY FASHION WEEK RTW

The Velvet Underground’s “Venus in Furs” set the stage for a Calvin Klein collection that looked back at the silhouettes of the late ’60s.

BALENCIAGA S/S 2015 AD’ CAMPAIGN

Gallery 19/02/2015 AARB Magazine Leave a comment

Sasha Pivovarova is captured by Steven Klein for Balenciaga S/S 2015 campaign.

“We chose Sasha for the campaign because there’s something restrained and regal about her, yet she brings a subtle, sultry quality to the image,” said Wang. “I wanted to play with ‘multiple Sashas’ and show different facets of her character and different threads of the collection in each image.” It’s the first time Pivovarova has been featured in Balenciaga’s campaign, for which Wang also used a new stylist, Panos Yiapanis.

This is one of our favorites campaigns so far. Sasha is a good choise for the fashion house. It has this some kind of “Riddick’s Chronicles/Minority Report” look that we actually like.

We cannot end this review and don’t speak a word about the patterns, we are not a fan of the Balenciaga House but we are really liking Wang fantastic job there. The designs have the edgy look that fits to the young working woman amazingly.

As Alexander Wang said, this is the first time for the model in the fashion house campaign, for what we are seeing now it won’t be he last!

JEREMY SCOTT F/W 2015 NY FASHION WEEK RTW

Jeremy Scott collection in advance. “Twee,” she wrote, “is a symptom of profound cultural exhaustion, a pop-cultural response to the death of grand narratives and radical politics: too weary to fight the corporate capitalist machine, the twee instead create hyper-stylized alternative worlds in which kittens play, ukuleles sound, and childhood is eternal.”

BOSS WOMEN F/W 2015 NY FASHION WEEK RTW

Wu is working hard to diversify Boss’ offering and to change people’s perceptions of the brand, so he divided his efforts between tailoring and dresses.

ANNA SUI F/W 2015 NY FASHION WEEK RTW

After falling in love with Vikings, the History Channel’s swords-sex-and-shearling spectacular, she made a typically lateral leap to the mid-century Scandi-design that reshaped the world in its image: the wallpapers, the fabrics, the furniture that decorated a million suburban homes, Sui’s own family’s included.

QUEEN GISELE BUNDCHEN FOR VOGUE UK MARCH 2015

Gallery 18/02/2015 AARB Magazine Leave a comment

Mario Testino shoots Gisele Bundchen for Vogue UK March 2015. Styled by Lucinda Chambers. Hair by Christiaan. Make-up by Lucia Pica.

In this issue of Vogue UK, making her 14^th appearance, Gisele gave the magazine an insight look into her life as highest-paid supermodel, mothet of two, step-mother and wife of Tom Brady.

“I’m very nurturing, I come from a large family and my parents were loving. But the most important thing for me as a mum is to keep my word,” she said. “When I say no, I mean no. I always say they have all the time in the world to sit there saying, ‘I want it, I want it,’ but they are smart, and if I give in to them they know they can get away with it.”

About her husband and life, she told the magazine…

“I knew Tom was the one straightaway. I could see it in his eyes that he was a man with integrity who believes in the same things I do.”

“I’m a model as a job, I’m Gisele, the daughter of Valdir and Vania, I’m a woman, I am a model. When I go home and shut the door, that’s it. If I want to expose something, it should be my choice,” she explained. “My earliest memory was going to my grandma’s house, milking the cows and collecting the eggs from the chickens. If I could choose, I’d be bare feet, with animals all around me and living in a tree house. Like Tarzan and Jane, that’s my dream. I’m at my happiest around nature.”

Steven Klein shoots Ondria Hardin & Kit Harington for Jimmy Choo Spring/Summer 2015 Ad Campaign.

Jimmy Choo S/S 2015 man takes a journey out of the familiarity of his native Mayfair. Unburdened, free from the constraints of formality, he is an urban adventurer, exhilarated by the prospect of broadening his cultural horizons.

Kit perfectly embodies the Jimmy Choo man. He has a natural and alluring masculinity and an effortless sense of style. His cool attitude and smouldering sensuality belie a true British gentleman. Sandra Chio, Creative Director.

OMG, the set, the clothes, the shoes, the make-up and the models, all in this campaign for us is perfect!

Sasha Pivovarova is photographed by Craig McDean for Vogue UK March 2015. Styled by Jane How. Hair by Eugene Souleiman. Make-up by Val Garland.

A very English editorial for Vogue UK, using the urban outfits they love as much as we do. They choose a carpentry-basement-set for this urban vibe, very unusual and unexpected. But the clothes are very appreciable from it.

Love the military blazers and the denim look photo. This is a very rich mix of evrything and nothig, the little green riding hood, the gladiator shoes, jumpsuit, leather and the floral short dress. This editorial has something for everyone, BUT WITH THE MILITARY TOUCH IN IT.

We love Doutzen Kroes, she has been our favorite Victoria’s secret angel since her debut in 2005. This set of mostly black and white pictures for WSJ (Wall Street Journal) magazine support our thoughts about her.

As the main focus of the pictures is herself you can admire all her poses and looks.

We are not familiar with Josh Olins photograph work, but he can count us as fans from now one. The article should be title Doutzen Kroes in her new city loft apartment in New York. It is all that we want, AND WE LOVE!

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN S/S 2015 AD’ CAMPAIGN

Gallery 16/02/2015 AARB Magazine Leave a comment

David Sims shoots Karolin Wolter for Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2015 Campaign.

I don’t know but when we think about this campaign suddenly the Coldplay song “Princess of China” comes to our mind, and it is not necessary in a bad way.

The collection is inspired by a personal and treasured collection of antique kimonos.

Colour: Geisha pink, blossom pink, lantern red, black, silver and bone. Fabric: Engineered silk jacquards and knits. Silk wools, chiffon, organza and leather. Print, texture and embellishment: Kimono florals and kite prints, marquetry leather, metallic floral spheres, silk embroidered cherry blossom, hand cut floral ruffles and hand painted petals. Shoes: Banded black, silver and geisha pink snakeskin sandals with lacquered soles hover above a Perspex heel.

We must admit the prints and textures are to die for. The innovative silhouettes, as usual, are the Alexander McQueen innovation signature.

The eyebrows? We are ignoring them by the moment. We are already focusing our eyes to better things is the campaign like the purse. But let us tell you we love the red lipstick contrasting with those beautiful eyes.

The collection has a lot of beautiful pieces, pants, tops and amazing short dresses (some with cape), REALLY AMAZING SHORT DRESSES. We are wondering, why they are not in the campaign? Something to take in mind next time.

At least we have a short tease of the amazing shoes the collection has. THE TRUTH, WE WANTED MORE!
