Spring/Summer 2011 Ad Campaigns

If you’ve been keeping up with your magazine reading, I hope you’ve noticed the new Spring/Summer 2011 ad campaigns are out. Although many designers have turned to short videos to accompany their ads, there’s nothing like a real stand-out photo in your favorite fashion magazine.

Check out my top five favorite campaign photos for Spring 2011.

Iselin Steiro for Chloe

This photo is just so cool, fresh and upbeat…you can’t help but smile when looking at this. It’s simple but it makes a statement. I’m also going to buy those shorts when they become available 🙂

Lindsey Wixson for McQueen

First off, I love Lindsey Wixson. She is a fierce model, I love her signature pout…and she’s only 16.! How can you not love her?  Every time I come across this photo, I just can’t stop staring. Absolute perfection.

Karlie Kloss for Dior

Karlie Kloss just seems like such a cool girl. I think we’d make great friends. But besides that, she is WORKING these looks for Dior S/S ’11. She looks sexy yet sophisticated and the look in her eyes say, “You know you want to wear this…” (and I do!)

Tati Cotliar, Kinga Rajzak, Mariacarla Boscono, & Arizona Muse for Prada

With such a vibrant and eccentric collection, it would take a certain angle and style of photography to really capture the beauty of the collection. It was a tough thing to pull off but these photos are perfection. It’s like a Willy Wonka fiesta at the zoo…on acid…in the best way possible.

Julia Saner for Valentino

This was my favorite dress from Valentino’s Spring collection and it also happened to be the first look to walk down the runway…worn by none other than Julia Saner herself. I love the look on her face in this photo because it’s like someone caught her off guard while reading classic poetry…all while wearing Valentino of course.

What’s Happening This Week on Gilt

If you were wondering why I have been posting about Gilt’s sales within the past couple of weeks it’s not only because it’s my favorite members-only flash sale shopping site (that’s part of it of course), but I have been selected to be a Gilt Brand Ambassador. Very exciting!

  • Valentino Pret A Porter (1/18)Valentino may be known for its signature red, but get yourself some tops and dresses in all sorts of colors at this luxury label’s sale. Subtle ruffles and asymmetric necklines, combined with the finest in Italian and French tailoring, make these figure-flattering pieces timeless and chic.
  • L.A.M.B. (1/19)- There’s no keeping a low profile in Gwen Stefani’s sky-high heels and bold graphics. This latest lineup includes pumps and cage sandals anchored to mega platforms, slouchy booties and a sexy, triple-lace oxford.
  • M Missoni (1/20)- As I like to say, you can never go wrong with Missoni. Shop the brand’s signature zigzag patterns and pick up some pieces to brighten up your wardrobe. Everyone needs some Missoni in their life and why not get a great deal on it?
