Spring / Summer 2013 campaigns: Jill Stuart beauty & Dior Addict gloss.

Jill Stuart Beauty Spring 2013 : Daphne Groeneveld & Dior Addict Gloss S/S 2013 : Daphne Groeneveld.

I don't want to look like I'm just hating but, I don't get why a model like Daphne can book beauty campaigns. Miu Miu campaigns? ok. Cavalli campaigns? ok. But, beauty campaigns?

I know that designers want to have the "girl of the moment" but they have to remember that the beauty section of their brand is something commercial, not HF.
Classic beautys is what you need for a beauty campaigns. It's obvious that 80% of the people who buy make-up products don't care about fashion or about how good a model is in front of the camera. They just want to see a beautiful girl (or a celebritie) wearing those products, so they can imagine themselves being as pretty. It's as simple as that. So, I think both brands didn't choose the right model.



No quiero que parezca que solo estoy lanzando odio pero, no entiendo como una modelo como Daphne puede llevarse campañas de belleza. ¿Campañas de Miu Miu? vale. ¿Campañas de Cavalli? vale. Pero, ¿campañas de belleza?

Se que los diseñadores quieren tener a "la chica del momento" pero, tienen que recordar que la sección de belleza es algo comercial, no HF.
Lo que necesitan son bellezas clásicas. Es obvio que el 80% de la gente que compra productos de maquillaje no esta interesado en moda o en lo bien que sepa manejarse una modelo delante de la cámara. Solo quieren ver a una chica guapa (o una famosa) llevando esos productos, para imaginarse a si mismas siendo igual de guapas. Tan simple como eso. Así que, considero que ambas marcas elegieron a la modelo incorrecta.

Blast from the past: Vogue USA December 1992, "Grunge & glory"

I was 3 in 1992, and I couldn't care less about fashion.As a 90's kid, I know who all the supermodels are because I saw them on the tv very often. But then again, it wasn't until 2007 that I started to love fashion, so I don't really know much about fashion during the 90's. That makes me quite sad, since it was such a great moment fashion wise. However, it's hard to find scans or videos of that time. This editorial has been scanned by kelles , at TFS forum. A couple of weeks ago, I was watching tv and I found a fashion documentarie on Sky arts. The documentarie is called "In Vogue: the editor's eye". You can watch it on youtube (I'll link the video in this post) if you want to. I really recommend it because, even if it was filmed in 2012, it's something that you need to watch if you really like fashion. Lots of iconic pictures are shown in this documentarie. That's how I discovered this editorial, shot by Steven Meisel. Meisel...

Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon April 2018: Wrap up!

The readathon is over! And it honestly was a lot of fun. I hadn't been reading too much lately, and it was great to be able to dedicate one day to just that.  Now let me tell you about the 546 pages I read. El maratón de lectura ha terminado. Y la verdad que lo disfruté mucho. Últimamente no había tenido tiempo para leer, y me encantó poder dedicar un día a hacer solo eso. Ahora dejadme que os cuente que me parecen las 546 páginas que leí.   -"We should all be feminists" & "Dear Ijeawele, A feminist manifesto in fifteen suggestions", by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I gave 5 stars to both of these books. It was the first two I read, and I completely loved them.  I liked "We should all be feminists" a bit less, since it was more of general message. It made me think a lot, but I find "Dear Ijeawele..." to be more of my kind of message. As a feminist, I enjoyed both, but I found one more complete than the other. Highly rec...
