Top 10 Spring 2012 campaigns

louis-vuitton-spring2012-campaign

After reading a story about Vogue’s favourite Spring/Summer 2012 campaigns that was published on their website, I decided to create my own list that, as it turns out, is somewhat different from the one offered by the “fashion bible”, particularly when it came to choosing the Roberto Cavalli ads that I’ve already blogged about. I also found it interesting that they mentioned Gisele being the most featured model having landed three campaigns including Versace, Salvatore Ferragamo and Givenchy where as I was under impression that this season was particularly good for Saskia de Brauw and Arizona Muse. Still relatively new, the girls were chosen by some of the biggest names in the industry and became faces of several brands. While Arizona Muse was chosen by, lets just do some maths here, Louis Vuitton Cruise, Fendi, Isabel Marant, KARL by Karl Lagerfeld, Massimo Dutti and, lets not forget, Next, Saskia starred in Chanel, MaxMara, Loewe, KARL by Karl Lagerfeld and Zara.

Don’t get me wrong, I adore Gisele and think that she is one of the most gorgeous models out there, but I used to be an accountant… A job title that sums things up. I also believe that it’s worth learning a few new names now and then rather than going with the obvious.

Now, the grumpy bit of over, I would like to present you with my choice of the most gorgeous campaigns for the upcoming season. They made it to the post because I like images that draw me in like an interesting story, a new beautiful experience, and make garments and accessories look desirable. I adore the sharpness and simplicity of black & white photos, the Longchamp ad that makes me smile every time I see it, and the macaroon sweetness and ice-cream coolness of colourful pastels that give me bubbles of endorphins. I think each of these images really is worth a thousand words (and will, most likely, generate even more in revenue).

Happy New Year!

vogue-paris-dec2011-1

2012 – can you believe it? It feels like the time flies by way to fast… Still, it’s almost here, the exciting and unpredictable new year.

The year of the Water Dragon (which technically begins on 23 January 2012) needs to be celebrated in a lavish style. The clothes should be made of light fabrics, creams and blues. Jewellery must be worn, either gold or gold with light blue precious stones. The table deco needs to be in creams and whites and include some gold accents. And because my favourite planet Venus is still circling around, you should also have fresh flowers and something sweet on your dinner table in order to please the Goddess.

This isn’t something I just made up because I’m experience a burst of creativity. In fact I’ve heard it from an astrologist invited by one of those TV shows I do watch from time to time and I thought I’d share, so we all make a beautiful effort that may bring us more luck in 2012.

For me 2011 was a good year. I’ve met a few wonderful people who became an essential part of my life. I’ve started this blog that in a way helped me deal with some demons from the past and re-discover my passion for writing. The work’s been good, too, and although I don’t really like talking too much about work, I can say one thing – if you have a dream, you work hard for it and you keep knocking at hundreds of doors, sooner or later the dream, whatever it might be, will become a reality.

With just a few hours left before the new year comes, I would like to wish you a happy new year, full of surprises, laughter, warmth and love, silly little moments and precious memories. If you follow Fashioned by Love or simply found it today by chance consider yourself loved, hugged and welcomed to my little blog.

Happy New Year!
