DANCE WITH MR. ELBAZ

The new Lanvin campaign in print was kinda odd to me, I was wondering why two girls were posing exactly the same.



 But after I watched their video campaign I loved it! And the choice of song - brilliant! I don't know why but it totally makes sense to me.



Lanvin, in the past few campaigns, has adopted the "Hair Flipping" look combined with a  "Rich Trendy Lady" look, check out the previous campaigns:

B&W BEAUTY

This is a shoot that I did a while ago and I just realized that I haven't posted it yet, so here it is - a B&W photo shoot with an amazing model (love the huge eyes!).





SPOT ON AD CAMPAIGN

Every time I see this Ad in Tube stations across London it makes me smile and laugh a little.


It's an Ad inviting people to the Notting Hill Carnival (28-29 August) and it's excellent!! The idea of a Pigeon putting a Macaw costume to go to carnival is exactly what this event is all about and is quite a simple idea, is those ones that you think: "Why didn't I think of this before?"
And I loved the little detailed tag of the costume, XS (extra small) - details people!


What you think?

VINTAGE INSPIRATION

I was looking at some blogs and found this ad from the 70's and immediately I remembered last month I-D magazine cover. I don't know where they took the idea to do this cover but is quite cool to see how random to find this connection and still this could be the inspiration haha.

THE NEW WAY FASHION MOVES

A few weeks ago I was thinking about what exactly classifies a good model pose for editorials and photo shoots...Because, like the clothes, there are famous and trendy poses changing each decade and now more often, like trendy garments. And I was wondering how this is decided, how this positions are qualified, even if subconsciously, as the coolest, avantgarde look for a model!? 

These are some photos of older editorials and is very cool to notice the difference between them, specially their "mood".
 1966






1978






  1982-87



George Michael's videos are great to get the early 90's mood.






That is why I decided to post some of the photos I have so we can see what kind of paths fashion is taking us - I say that because I believe that not only clothes but attitudes are trendy so it is interesting to see how the images portray our common feelings and behaviors of a specific decade, year or time in general.

Here are some current images:



















Today's edgy body positions are explosions of micro seconds of dramatic revelation, a nano second of a hard, sometimes awkward sometimes sensual movement. Caught in the act, literally, but exploring position which are so edgy that is almost humanly impossible to do it! 
But the result is eye catching and breath taking!

THE SIMPLE LOVABLE

Great things lie on the simple, that is why i chose this hair style as my favorite lately. I believe it can work with loads of different make-up styles. Is modern and at the same time used many many times in the past. Love it!!

SHAME ON YOU

I am appalled by these events...


This blog also shows you similarities between film and reality, unfortunately (in this case). 


And this is what I wish for them.
