YSL manifesto with Daria Werbowy
must say i hate the usual bullshit brand videos. the typical, glorifying, amateur, behind-the-scenes of kate (at best) swinging her hair in the wind; but, inez and vinoode rocked this one. the locked down camera, dead simplicity, gorgeous silhouettes of stefano pilati, “invisible” track and daria in the best wig hairdo i’ve ever seen. drooooool. almost as hot as the fella kuti video in his trunks. by dd
shang xia – hermes
uber luxury brand hermes rocked the fashion world opening a new brand, it’s a first time for hermes, and none the less, it’s a chinese brand, called shang xia and it’s only sold in shanghai for the moment.
rather surprising but after reading some articles about this strange team, i figure out both brand share a hardcore interest in craftsmanship and tradition. so if any other brand had done the same deal, i would think of them as opportunist but coming from hermes, i’m just really wondering… (read the article, it’s interesting) by pp.

it’s from stephanie di giusto and it’s featuring valentine fillol cordier and once again lou doillon. sublime! by pp.

thomsen – french style
i’m sorry, it is not because i’m french and somehow chauvinist but really, french brand thomsen actually nailed the plaid/liberty shirt. when every US brands are coming over and over with the same plaid shirt that feel right out of the williamsburg salvation army ( sometime even with a $300 price tag).
those frenchies achieved doing it their own way giving it a nice “cacharel/mai ’68” look rather than a lumberjack feel. on top of that, the campaigns features some of our nicest roosters and the blog is really cool. cocorico! by pp.
edward hopper a go-go
above: fendi commercial visual (horrible execution – terrible wall paint job) i doubt if karl had much to do with this, or i’m majorly disappointed, again.
old images from “the face” with a young bookish giesel as envisioned by photographer karen collins roughly 8 years ago (with a better paint job, better girl, and better lighting!)
and of course the original edward hopper version ripped off on both… by pp+dd
