FW 13.14 campaigns: Marc Jacobs & Marc by Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs: Edie Campbell & Lily McMenamy by Juergen Teller.


I was wondering whether I should talk about this campaign or not. It's not going to be easy because they wanted to make it difficult. 
My first thought was that this lacks respect, which is something serious. They're making fun of a girl who has a different kind of beauty, and they make her look like she has a disease. Yes, a disease that shouldn't be a joke. It is watching this ad when I get why people say fashion is something silly, because this is silly. If they think this is going to make me like the brand, they know nothing. I love MJ as a designer and I love MJ as a brand, but this is really disappointing. 
They show no respect for the people who are going to see it, but they show absolutely no respect for the girl they're hiring. And, she's is Kristen McMenamy's daughter. She isn't a nobody. If I were her mother, I would be really mad.
Seriously, this was a bad move. And yeah, there's also Edie, who has the same face in every shot as she usually has. 
Painful to watch. 









He dudado si hablar de esta campaña o no. No va a ser fácil porque ellos así lo han querido.
Mi primer pensamiento fue que es una falta de respeto, lo cual es serio. Se ríen de una chica que tiene un tipo de belleza diferente haciéndola parecer que tiene una enfermedad. Si, una enfermedad, lo cual no debería ser motivo de broma. Viendo esto entiendo cuando la gente se ríe de la moda, porque esto es patético. Si creen que así van a conseguir que me guste la marca, no demuestran saber mucho de marketing. Me gusta MJ como diseñador y como marca, pero esto me decepciona.
No muestran respeto a quien vaya a ver esto, y sobretodo a quien contratan. Y ella es la hija de Kristen McMenamy, no es una cualquiera. Si fuera su madre, estaría muy cabreada.
En serio, ha sido un mal paso el que han dado. Y si, también esta Edie por ahí, poniendo la mima cara en cada foto, como siempre.
Duele hasta mirarlo.

Classic MJ/MBMJ by Teller. We've seen this a hundred times, but I love it.





Clásico MJ/MBMJ por Teller. Hemos visto esta foto cien veces, pero me encanta.

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...
