Put on a Chic face

Three seasons ago, Zara surprised us hiring Steven Meisel to shoot their campaign. They worked with important photographers before, but getting Meisel was the final step. I have been a massive fan of this collaboration, specially last season. After two dark collections, we finally get some colour. It also has a Prada vibe that I love. As in his previous two campaigns for the brand, Meisel has included Vittoria on the cast. It's also great to see Fran, one of my new favourites. Vittoria Ceretti, Rianne van Rompaey, Fran Summers, Lea Julian, Adut Akech, Remington Williamsn, Ansley Gulielmi, Kiko Arai, Cara Taylor & Aube Jolicoeur by S. Meisel Hace tres temporadas, Zara nos sorprendió contratando a Steven Meisel para fotografiar su campaña. Habían trabajado con fotógrafos importantes, pero conseguir a Meisel fue el toque final. He sido fan de esta colaboración, sobre todo la temporada pasada. Después de dos colecciones ...

Two of my favourite brands have produced two of my favourite campaigns of the season. Rianne, who may end up being this season's campaign queen, is in both of them and is the highlight of both ads.  Gigi, who not many people will see as a Valentino girl, is the other highlight. Dos de mis marcas favoritas han producido dos de mis campañas favoritas de la temporada. Rianne, que puede que termine como reina de la temporada de campañas, está en ambas y es la que más destaca. Gigi, a la cual muchos no verán como chica Valentino, es la otra sorpresa positiva.

You may not know this (why would you?) but I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to horror movies. I like thrillers and not too scary films, but I hate psychological horror and gore. That means I have never watched "The Ring" and it also means that the tv trailer used to scare me quite a bit.  And here comes McQueen now giving the models a "The Ring-y" look to show me it can actually be quite a good Halloween costume. I don't really do Halloween but, I just got a haircut and can't be Wednesday Adams (AGAIN!) unless I use extentions.  Halloween really is the main reason why I wanted to share this with all of you, since you may want to be looking for a still scary, but also quite flattering look. Puede que no sepáis esto (¿por qué ibais a saberlo?, pero soy un poco cobardica en lo que a películas de miedo se refiere. Me gustan los suspenses y las pelis que no dan mucho medio, pero odio las que son de terror psicológico y con mucho gore...

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. ...

While the castings for the VSFS take place, I wanted to tell you about the new faces that I want to see booking the show. Some of them have done the casting in the past, and some haven't. I'm only talking about models who have never walk the show. Let me know if you agree with me or not ;) Mientras siguen haciendo castings los de VS, yo quiero deciros que new faces quiero ver en el desfile. Algunas han hecho el casting en el pasado y otras no. Solo hablaré de modelos que no han desfilado para la marca anteriormente. Decidme si estáis de acuerdo conmigo o no ;) Anna Mila Guyenz (Germany, IMG Models) Aneta Pajak (Poland, DNA Models) Luma Grothe (Brazil, Women) Josephine le Tutour (France, The Society) Greta Varlese (Italy, The Society) Luna Bijl (The Netherlands, DNA Models) Grace Elizabeth (USA, Next Models) Maartje Verhoef (The Netherlands, Women) Rianne von Rompaey (The Nethe...
