Put on a Chic face

My gif (Video source: Jimmy Choo) Before this season began, I told you which models I wanted to see everywhere. On that post, I didn't mention Kiki because I knew she'd be everywhere. She has becomed the best/most booked model of the past 2 years and her CV speaks for itself. Even though she walks less shows nowadays, since she's a more established model, she still walked for 37 designers. That doesn't make it the top walker, since Charlee Fraser walked 50 shows. But Kiki comes number 1 on the Top Shows walked list (tied with He Cong and Léa Julian). Out of those 31 top shows (only 6 from her list are considered as "not top", but we could argue about that), she opened Missoni and DVF and closed Christopher Kane.  What makes her special is the fact that she has being booking those shows for a while now, and casting directors don't get bored of her. On the contrary, they can't get enough! She is what we call a supermodel, who works ver...

And the queen of the campaign season is....Kiki Willems!! Again! Very proud fan. Some of you may argue that Faretta had a better season despite scoring less campaigns. She had more OG campaigns but, what I value the most here is the fact that Kiki has been on this level for longer than other girls like Faretta or Vitto. Season after season, she keeps on working with the same professionals and scoring big campaigns. This is like her 4th time getting the Marc Jacobs campaign. That's huge. It really shows how hard she works, and how talented she is. Not all campaigns are out, so she might get another CK line but, at 9 campaigns for the FW 17.18 season, she's already the absolute queen: Alberta Ferretti, by Tim Walker Prada "A city of Women", by Willy Vanderperre Sies Marjan, by Theo Wenner Calvin Klein Mainline, by Willy Vanderperre CK Jeans, by Willy Vanderperre Diesel Black Gold, by Collier Schorr Boss Hugo...

Now that 95% of the ads are out, let's talk about the two models who killed it during this campaign season. I wanted to also include some honorable mentions for Bella (8 campaigns), Gigi Hadid and Taylor Hill (6 campaigns each) and Freja Beha, Grace Elizabeth & Birgit Kos. They all had outstanding seasons, but they didn't reach neither Faretta's nor the other model's (not telling you yet) level. If you had asked me who I thought will get most campaigns when the shows ended in March, I would have said Faretta. She already scored big campaigns for the SS 17 season, and her runway season was flawless despite skipping NYFW. However, despite getting 8 huge campaigns and working with different photographers, she didn't wowed me once. Her best campaign is probably Zara, the rest...still weak. She has to improve a lot.

Second and final review for NYFW. It has been quite a good week, if I'm honest. I feel like I'm more into fashion than I was last season, and that makes me happy. I hope LFW doesn't kill my vibe ;)  Shows that are worth a mention are ODLR and Proenza Schouler. De la Renta because they have new designers, who I think did a great job. This felt more like the classic ODLR than Copping's ODLR ever did. And Proenza because this was their last show in NY. They're moving to Paris, which is always exciting. I adore this brand and if I could purchase all their clothes, I won't hesitate for a second. This collection was supposed to be all about NY, which is a concept that I fail to understand. But I know I liked it, so it's all good. I also really enjoyed Narciso Rodriguez's show, as usual, and Ralph Lauren's. You can argue that Ralph does the same thing over and over again, but...it's SO pretty! How can I not like it? Segunda y última reseñ...

My gif (Video source: Bottega Veneta's yt channel) We still haven't seen all the ads for this season, but it's pretty clear that there are two campaign queens this season: Rianne von Rompaey and Julia Nobis. The campaigns they got (so far) are: Aún no hemos visto todas las campañas de esta temporada, pero está claro que hay dos reinas indiscutibles: Rianne von Rompaey y Julia Nobis. Estas son las campañas que han conseguido (de momento):  -->Rianne: LV (MG), BV (OG), HB (OG), Prada (MG, by Meisel) & Coach (MG, by Meisel)  -->Julia: Dior (OG, by Meisel), Givenchy (MG), Jil Sander (OG) & Valentino (MG, by Meisel) Today, I'm talking about 4 of those 5 major campaigns that Rianne got. She's such a star! Hoy hablaré de 4 de esas 5 mega campañas que ha conseguido Rianne. ¡Es una estrella! Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 16.17: Rianne von Rompaey, Erika Linder, Natalie Westling, Jean Campbell, Selena Gomez, Luisiana Gonzalez & Sor...

  -Rag&Bone: I like to point out how I liked things before they got mainstream. When it comes to Rag&Bone, I point it out often. It is one of the first "not so popular" brands I started to follow when I got into fashion. Now I feel like every blogger/youtuber owns something from the brand, which has made it more...well, mainstream. But these designers have been killing it for a while. They've always had that kind of urban style that's so trendy at the moment. However, I haven't been the biggest fan of their last 2 or 3 collections. But I'm always looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us. And this time, they didn't disappoint. Me gusta recordar siempre que yo ya era fan de ciertas cosas/personas antes de que las conociese todo el mundo. En el caso de Rag&Bone, me toca recordarlo a menudo. Es una de las primeras "no tan conocidas" marcas que empecé a seguir cuando me empezó a interesar la moda. Ahora...
