Put on a Chic face

After the huge production for the Spring/Summer show that Versace did, everyone expected a huge campaign. Some people wanted a campaign with the supermodels from the 90's and other wanted a mix of models from different decades. The team went for the latter, and I'm happy about it. Cast-wise we've got the iconic supermodels (Naomi and Christy), the iconic supers from the 00's (Gisele, Natalia, Raquel), some models who have stablished themselves as future icons recently (Irina, Vittoria, Gigi) and some newer models (Birgit, Cara, Grace and Kaia). As always, some people wanted this model in the campaign and that model far away from it...but pleasing everyone is an impossibility. I'm personally happy with the casting, and waiting to see more pictures. The absolute highlight, in my opinion, is Naomi. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't really try because she's Naomi and doesn't have to anymore. But these pictures of her look like they belong to...

Everyone seems to have an opinion about this Versace show, and I thought I would give you mine as well. My first thought was that I really dislike it when models walk at the same time on the runway. Even the Etro show, where models walked quite close to each other, annoyed me slightly. But this whole 4 models walking at the same time...no, big fat no. I know it is something very personal, but I had to say how much I dislike it. And that leads me to my second complaint: the models. Most models didn't fit the vybe of the show and/or the brand. They mistake walking fast with having a powerful walk and...I don't know, I just didn't enjoy the cast either. The collection was a good mix of old and new, which fits the theme for the show. It is a tribute to Gianni after all. And it is also a crowd pleaser. Well, actually, the entire show is a crowd pleaser. It was done knowing that most people would adore it, but I don't buy into things that easily. Sorry. ...

PH: Josh Olins First things first: Happy Birthday, British Vogue! You may know already that UK Vogue has been celebrating its 100th anniversary for a while. Specially if you live in London (or the UK, I guess) like myself. They've spent a lot of money on advertising. Everyone expected something big, and something big we got. Kate had never posed for a fashion magazine before. So, getting that exclusive is massive. And being able to keep it a secret for over 3 months is even more impressive. I'm not a monarchy person (I'm a republican in the Spanish meaning of the word, not the American), but we're not here to talk about politics, are we? So I'll just judge this cover in an artistic way, and I like it.  The stylism, the location, the smile, ...they got it all right. They didn't try to make her look like someone she's not, which is definetely the way to go. And the whole issue is a collectors issue, really. We have the best British models ...

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...

Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2015: Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn, George Barnett & George Le Page by Mario Testino This is decent. Still not great, but decent. No Cara, no Suki, ...that makes me happy. We got some black power instead, which is nice. It's always nice to see Naomi showing other Brits how it's done. Good stuff. Esto es decente. No es genial, pero es decente. Nada de Caras, nada de Sukis, ...eso me hace feliz. Tenemos poder negro, y eso está bien. Siempre me gusta ver a Naomi enseñando al resto de británicas como se hacen las cosas. Mola. Ralph Lauren Collection Spring/Summer 2015: Sanne Vloet by Bruce Weber Sanne opened the show, and got the campaign. I'm glad because her beauty is perfect for RL. I did an entire post about her, which you can check out here:  http://putonachicface.blogspot.com.es/2014/12/meet-sanne-vloet-new-face-from.html But, let's talk about the campaign. I ADORE it. Bruce is the right ph...

When the last bunch of shows was over, I did a post showing you the model's streetstyle. As expected, that post got amazing feedback. That's why I'll do the same anytime there are fashion shows going on. This time, I only have a few to show you, because the Haute Couture "week" is not even a real week. In just 4 days, it's kind of hard to find lots of pictures. But I tried my best. My sources are: models.com, modelsjam, Vogue, Stylebistro, ... great websites where you can find lots of other interesting things. I hope you enjoy the looks. I'll write the models' names, so you know who each model is. Al terminar el último ciclo de desfiles, hice una entrada sobre el estilo de calle de las modelos. Como esperaba, tuvo mucho éxito. Por eso lo haré siempre que haya desfiles. Esta vez tengo pocos, porque la "semana" de la Alta Costura no es siquiera una semana de verdad. En solo 4 días es difícil encontrar montones de fotos. Pero me he es...
