Put on a Chic face

As mentioned on my post about the Zara campaign, today I'm showing you my last favourite campaign of the season. After that, I'll start working on my posts with the two queens of the campaign season, so I can get them published before the shows begin in September.  You only need to know me a little bit to know I adore Kiki. She has such an incredible presence and is so good when it comes to print work.  This campaign is the perfect fall campaign. And there is a shot of Kiki wearing an orange jumper which is stunning. I saw it at the BOSS store, but I can't find it online. Como ya mencioné en mi entrada sobre la campaña de Zara, hoy os enseño mi otra campaña favorita de la temporada. Después de esta, empezaré a trabajar en las entradas sobre las dos reinas de la temporada de campañas, para publicarlas antes de que los desfiles empiecen. No hace falta que sepáis mucho de mi para saber que adoro a Kiki. Tiene una presencia increíble y en fotogr...

  -Oscar de la Renta: While everyone raved about Peter's collections for the brand, I judged them all. And I feel like that worked, because now what I hear about this show sounds more like what I think. Not trying to say that I'm the only one who can be right, though. When you start designing for a brand, you have two options: a) Continue doing what the original designer did; b) Change the style of the brand completely, à la Slimane. Peter did a bit of both. He continued doing dresses for princesses, like she was doing at Nina Ricci, but tried to adapt those dresses to what de la Renta used to do. It wasn't a smooth transition, but it wasn't the worst I have seen. What bothered me was that people raved about it and said that it was like de la Renta never left. Well, excuse me?  Oscar didn't use to cast too young looking models, because he designed clothes for women, strong women. So doing dresses for princesses that seem to be made of cotton candy is not ...

  -Oscar de la Renta: I usually dislike collections inspired by Spain. Mainly because, as a Spaniard, I hate seeing how everyone thinks that Spain is just flamenco and sun. It drives me insane because that part of Spain doesn't represent me at all.  You may remember that, a year ago, I got really angry when I saw Dolce&Gabbana's collection, because of those same reasons. This collection is way better, and it looks more than your classic ODLR than the previous one. However, I still don't like it. I actually hated it when I first saw it, and now I just dislike it.  Bittersweet. Suelo detestar las colecciones inspiradas en España. Básicamente porque mi nacionalidad española me hace odiar los tópicos que resumen a los españoles como flamencos que toman el sol. Me desquicia porque esa parte de España no me representa. Puede que recordéis lo mucho que me enfadé el año pasado con la colección de Dolce&Gabbana. Los motivos eran los mismos. Esta colección ...
