‘Campaigns’
Although Hedi Slimane has released a series of photo project for Saint Laurent in the past months featuring big music names including Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love as well as Sky Ferreira, the real fall/winter 2013 campaign has now officially been released in the style of a three-minute video. It pictures (surprise) Cara Delevigne, captured by Hedi Slimane, looking effortless in the grunge inspired collection of flower dresses and leatherwear, who with messy hair and smudged eye liner expresses a certain carelessness in the empty house of California looking over the the Pacific Ocean.
The Pre-Fall 2013 collection of Chanel also called Paris-Edimbourg was presented at the Linlithgow Palance in Edinburgh, Scotland last autumn. The fact that Tilda Swinton is the face of its recently released campaign appears to have been the perfect choice for several reasons. Primarily because of her connection to Scotland, (her house is basically situated on the highlands of Scotland), but also for her dramatic almost majestic presence that recalls the film adaption of Orlando in 1992 in which she had the lead part. The beautiful collection is captured in a decadent setting by Karl Lagerfeld himself.
Releasing the spring/summer 2013 campaign a few months ago, Miu Miu now presents a series of ads of the new eyewear collection named Rasoir, The capsule collection comprises four models, all of which appearing to be cut off at the end. Following the same scenery as the ready-to-wear campaign, the images photographed by the greatness of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin picture a sense of mystery going on. More distinct in the campaign video below, as Bette Franke, Martha Hunt and Doutzen Kroes joined by campaign models Adriana Lima, Arizona Muse and Malgosia Bela seem to pass forward lots of secrets through the whisperings.
The actress Marion Cotillard is of all other faces of the Miss Dior bag campaign the one who has been staying the longest (since 08), but when Jennifer Lawrence was tapped as the new face of the bag last year, followed by an appearance in the campaign of February, speculations that Cotillard’s had been kicked out when Raf Simons stepped inside the door. But since wearing Dior Haute Couture both to the Golden Globes and The Oscars, it would only be a matter of time until she would reappear in the campaign. Now out is the current Miss Dior campaign photographed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, showing a beautiful Marion Cotillard in pieces from the pre/fall 2013 collection.
Theyskens Theory´s Spring campaign is raw and beautiful. The pictures feature an office environment in contrast to the ocean with a architectural and quadratic layout that goes well with the collection. The dramatic photos display some of the signature pieces of the collection. The designer himself claims to have been inspired by the deep ocean, which shows in the pictures as well as the clothes that have a dark melancholy vibe to them.
