Put on a Chic face

For the second time in three seasons, we're crowning Vittoria as the campaign queen. The fashion world gets more and more fickle, which makes this achievemente even more impressive.  Vittoria scored a total of 9 blue chip campaigns. Though, if we counted all her Chanel beauty ads individually...the number will increase quite a bit. Great season for her. And since I adore her, you won't see me complaining if she's the queen again next season.

Back with the campaigns, in time to tell you about the queens of the season before the new ads for next season come out. First, I wanted to briefly mention last year's queens. Faretta is already flopping, and she went from scoring 8 campaigns to getting only 2: Ralph Lauren and Salvatore Ferragamo.  Kiki, however, is still on top form. She "only" got 4 campaigns this season (DVF, Calvin Klein, Christopher Kane, Marni), but those consolidate her. Besides, after her flawless fashion month, she showed she's not going anywhere. I also have some honorable mentions for other models who did great this season: Gigi Hadid (8), Rianne van Rompaey (6) and Bella, Kaia and Ansley (5). Now it's time to announce the runner-up of the season: Cara Taylor, who scored 8 major campaigns. On my next post, I'll show you who dominated the season.

This kind of seems to be the Victoria's Secret week, with me talking about three of their best angels. But I guess it makes sense in a way, since none of the angels has done much during fashion week, so they inspired me in other ways. Elsa is known for many things, and one is her style. She is not shy at all, and likes fashion a lot. She likes to experiment and wear things that many could not pull off. But she can because of her attitude. At the end of the day, it's all about the attitude, never forget that. Of course, this means that not everyone is going to like what she is wearing. And to be honest, that happens to me many times. I'll see her wearing something that looks amazing on her, but I won't like the outfit as a whole. Then this happened...the outfit of all outfits! It's the best thing she's ever worn, perfect for her, different, ...I love it! I particularly love the Versace shorts because, even though I only wear black, I love those k...

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...

A couple of days ago, I did a post featuring some festive outfits. This could be seen as part 2 of that post. Over the years, I have talked about many different beauty looks that were glittery. If it shines, I like it. And today, I'll be showing you some of those runway looks I've loved, because it's the season to shine! Got any favourites? Chanel Dior Burberry Versace Fendi Hace unos días hice una entrada sobre outfits para la época navideña. Así que esta puede verse como la parte 2 de esa entrada. Durante mis años escribiendo en el blog, he hablado de varios looks de belleza con purpurina. Si brilla, me gusta. Y hoy os enseñaré algunos de esos looks de pasarela que me han encantado, porque es la temporada en que hay que brillar. ¿Tenéis algún favorito?

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...

Chloé S/S 2018 How do you define being the star of the season? I've said many times that, for me, that is impacting people more than the rest. That's why I've called Birgit Kos a runway star in the past, and also why I'm calling Alexandra Micu this season's star. Even though she skipped both NY and London. Alexandra's debut was as a exclusive for Louis Vuitton in the FW 16.17 season. After that, she has done other shows but was still very exclusive (last season, she was a worldwide exclusive for LV). And she's only done campaigns for LV, so I'm looking forward to seeing her in other ads. Being so exclusive can mean two things: 1) By the time you do a full season no one cares about you anymore, or 2) By the time you decide to do a full season, most brands are desperate to have you on their show. Guess which one happened to her? She hasn't walked every single show thrown at her like Cara Taylor, but has only been in top shows. It...
