Put on a Chic face

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.

Fashion can be so beautiful sometimes. It is a like living in a world of fairies, where everyone looks ethereal and you just want to be a princess (or a prince). That is how I felt when I saw this cover for Australian Vogue. They wanted to honor Dior on its anniversary and they couldn't have done a better job. Bella, who I don't really know much about, is a little fairy and Roversi has worked his magic once again.  If I saw this on the newsstands, I would not be able to control myself. I will have to purchase it because this is the kind of images I want in my collection. A dream! "Bella de jour" Ph: Paolo Roversi La moda puede ser tan bella a veces. Es como vivir en un mundo de hadas, donde todo es etéreo y donde solo queremos ser princesas (o príncipes). Así es como me sentí cuando vi esta portada para la edición australiana de Vogue. Quisieron hacer un homenaje a la casa Dior en su aniversario, y lo hicieron increíblemente...

You guys know I'm not Vogue Paris' biggest fan. However, this editorial is fantastic. It's called "Nouvelle Vague", which is a great title for it. I guess you all know why, but I'll explain it briefly, just in case. This term was used to talk about a new group of French cinema directors, back in the 50's. Their ideas where different to the ones seen before. In this ed we can see 7 new models, with different looks and lots of potential. As you can see, it makes sense. These models could change de fashion world like the french directors changed the cinema world. Why not? My favourite is Ola, as you may already know. But all of them look great. Lineisy is the newest one but, being a Prada exclusive proves she can be really big. The rest of the girls are very succesful too (or at least they've been succesful so far). Also, Roversi is a genius. Love his work!!! Nouvelle Vague Ola Rudnicka, Rianne van Rompaey, Alexandra Elizabe...

This month I won't be talking about all the Vogue covers made for May. To be honest, most of them are quite bland, so you're not missing much. But I really wanted to talk about UK Vogue because I just moved to the UK and I bought this edition of Vogue for the first time ever. And I have to say that I liked it better than expected. The cover is not particularly striking, but I guess they didn't have to try much since they have a super star on it. I'm not a Game of Thrones fan, but I know a lot of people are. However, I really like the content. The editorials are quite nice. I really like Karen Elson's and Gigi Hadid's. The first one is very HF, while Gigi's is more modern and fresh. It's good to have both in the same issue. Also, the supplement is really nice. They did it in association with Next Agency, and it has Grace Hartzel on the cover. There's also a really nice beach shoot with Aline Webber, photographed by Gilles Bensimon. Really n...
