You might have seen the latest Hussein Chalayan Fall 09′ ad ph by Amy Troost. It is definitely not his first ad campaign, IMG has just posted Hussein’s Spring 09′ ad on their blog— Luca Gadjus ph by Max Von Gumppenberg and Patrick Bienert.

All the umbrellas just give you a very lazy, relaxed summer feel, no? Love it.

Campaigns: Balmain, Gucci Fall 09′ (with 8 other models) and Gucci Pre-fall 09′:

 

 

Recently, she’s been on at least ONE Vogue cover each month, since May.

Her latest— Vogue Nippon August, ph by I&V

  

 

It’s funny to see this sort of thing happen. Anja, to everyone is like the editorial/runway queen who’s been doing the same amount of work for the past few years, most memorably, as the once long time face of Chloé. But like what I have mentioned before, she just doesn’t have the luck to be on as many Vogue covers as let say Anna Selezneva, or open/close as many shows as Poly. Then all of a sudden, Inez & Vinoodh is bringing her everywhere (as if Daria has gone on a vacation). At the rate that she’s going, her status/profile has definitely gone a notch up. Late much, but it’s good to see that her hardwork being paid off.

Dior couture is showing twice because the venue is small this year. They have been cutting down costs on locations recently. Dior’s latest cruise collection presentation is so much smaller scale than the usual full on runway shows.

Chanel couture is returning to the Grand Palais, will there be some giant sculpture/stage deco being built again?

Lacroix is having a “very small and simple presentation” with 20 outfits on live models. Due to the current situation at Lacroix, the staff and models are very likely to have volunteered for the showing without pay. 

 

This season, everybody loves white.

Givenchy, Gucci, Jil Sander

     

Hugo Boss, Tim Hamilton, Julius

On runways, all white does create a certain visual impact, under the lighting and all. In real life, would you rock this look?

 

In Paris, gender bending tricks are not to be missed. At Gaultier as always, and then YSL. Cue a new term called menvage (men cleavage). 

 
Jean Paul Gaultier

 

 
Yves Saint Laurent

 

As for the collections, off the top of my head, I liked Galliano (you need some drama these days…), Mihara Yasuhiro, Dries van Noten, Alexis Mabille— he used to show his menswear together with womenswear in couture fashion week, this is his first full menswear show. I had expected some ‘couture’ menswear from him for that case, but it’s just his first show, there’s still a lot more from him to come.

Louis Vuitton— mustard, sequins and socks… check out the texture, rubber heel on suede, looks comfy. 

 

Dries van Noten— ethnic prints and woven leather detailing embellished lace-ups.

 

Raf Simons— super sleek entwining details, but I had expected something more from Raf… at least a pair of killer ‘mendals’ (men sandals) or two. Then again, this Spring season hasn’t been feeling very Spring. 

 

John Galliano— pirate boots with leather straps, rough enough for Galliano.

 

Bottega Veneta— Wanted: shiny patent shoes for spring. Seriously, these are gorgeous.

 

Jil Sander— The buck, in different colours.

Calvin Klein— futurism+minimalism… Ok this is so CK.

 

Lastly, Prada. The shoes has as many holes as the fabric in this collection. At least you won’t get a smelly feet.
