lanvin ad campaign: ss/11

not only do i love seasonal ad campaigns, but a multi-shot one that reads like an editorial — like this one, courtesy of lanvin — is even better. lanvin reminds me of tilda swinton, and these belligerent, chic dames, flouncing about their home's wares, set the perfect tone for an amazing spring season. so much garment! so much feistiness.

gimme yo campaigns, baby

i love refinery29 because they love ad campaigns, and so do i. they also like to post the best of the best, which makes it quite easy for me because then i don't need to search for them.

so here are the best, in all of their marketable high fashion glory.

i ADORE the balenciaga campaign; i think it's genius. and the prada one is fabulous, as well. i love everything prada does, visually. their campaigns, their aesthetic, their styling - all divine.

i wish that my life was a montage of ad campaigns.

marc jacobs for spring

oh, how i love the eruption of seasonal ad campaigns. and marc jacobs' are truly some of my favorites. so quirky and witty...who doesn't love their models and fashionable celebs popping out of  boxes or posing in various bizarre bodily contortions?

lanvin

i love lanvin a lot. i think alber elbaz is a genius, and i love how often tila swinton wears lanvin, because she's batshit crazy/awesome and i have a deep affection for everything she does. the editorial she did in W magazine (sept 2008) is my favorite editorial in the history of editorials.

but, lanvin. i love these ads - especially the menswear one. the waist-high trousers, skinny belt, open cuffs and tucked-in tie make for an unbelievable - and really sexy - look. so beautifully feminine, it's like ysl's menswear-for-women concept flipped on its head. sigh. thank you, once again, alber, for some of the most beautiful eye candy in the world.

ps: just got this text from my love, alana: (513) i saw a dog taking a shit on the stoop of louis vuitton last night in soho. priceless

chanel spring 2010

so hot, i love it. claudia schiffer, freja beha and baptiste giabiconi - a well-known lagerfeld muse - are as sexy and classy as ever in the chanel spring 2010 ads. thanks, karl.

out with old, in with the...dead?

luckily i find madonna to be obnoxious and love dead things, because the new lara stone campaign is far more favorable to my eye than the madonna campaign of last season. she's an icon and all, but she's getting old, she's terribly creepy to look at, and i don't really associate her with high fashion.

but lara stone...thank you, mj. i can't wait to see more.

also - can we thank god that those detestable afros didn't make it into his spring campaign? woof.

dead advertising

this is the fall ad campaign for auckland boutique, superette. featuring some amazing dead models, their tagline is "be caught dead in it." love that. and will do, please.

copyranter (run by a jaded ny copywriter, who humorously trashes different advertisements) followed up this post with some other ad campaigns invoking death (which i, in my creepy love for all things horror-inspired, am adoring):
