( For more FW0708 fashion ad campaigns :I, II, III, IV, V)

‘Dance With The Orange Ribbon’, pretty cool huh? So glad to see Daria being back in the scene scoring her third ad campaign after Valentino and Missoni.
Balenciaga
models: Suvi Koponen, Anabela Belikova

One’s wooden and stoned, the other’s jumping crazy, but these ads are so powerful and regal, we’re down with respect.
Karl Lagerfeld
model: Gemma Ward


Karl’s favourite girl is back for his new ads. What’s with the man hopping around behind Gemma? Maybe it’s to make her look smarter?
Philosophy Di Alberta Ferreti
models: Laragh McCann, Anzhelika Kocheba


A very strong countryside-chic feel to these ads. Lovely, though the models are relatively unknown.
Moschino
models: (First pict) Marianne Berglund, Sara Visser, Veronika Antsipava, Claudia Tassone, Noreen Carmody, Elianne Smit & Dioni Tabbers (Second pict) Ai Tominaga, Han Jin, Daul Kim, Emma Pei, Eugenia M…

Can’t manage to name all the models in the second picture but apparently, they’re going for this quirky asian-dolls look with a bevy of the most well-known and in-demand asian fashion models around.
Celine
models: Bette Franke, Emmanuelle Seigner

Cesare Paciotti
model: Anja Rubik

Gosh she’s baring her tush…

Is this an ad trend? Making a man look silly behind a smartly dresses woman? I don’t like these shots though, can’t believe Naomi actually agreed to star in these Pinko ads. They look cheap.
Mulberry
models: Suvi Koponen, Caroline Trentini


Long blonde hair, dark red lips and tons of expensive handbags… reminds me of spoilt rich girls and Suvi looks real pretty in these!
Christian Lacroix
model: Vlada Roslyakova


What’s with the blue background? But I like this more than last season’s ads featuring Coco and that forest though.

Natasha Poly returns for another season of the Nine West ads.
Giorgio Armani Cosmetics
model: Sasha Pivovarova

Hell, Sasha might have been booked for only one ad campaign (Prada) this season but who knows she can look so gorgeous in beauty ads too!
Emporio Armani
model: Barbara Berger

Hmmm, don’t really know who’s that model but the short pixie hair with those smoky eyes? Reminds me of Edie Sedgwick!
Salvatore Ferragamo
model: Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour


The ads are pretty boring with old models, black & white settings, getting-out-of-the-car-glamourously pose… I prefer last season’s ads with Carmen Kass which were fresher and more elegant.
Estee Lauder
models: Hilary Rhoda, Carolyn Murphy


They like to choose those all-american beauties for their ad campaigns and this is definitely another breakthrough for Hilary.
The ever in-demand Elise Crombez has been booked for four ad campaigns this season…
Nicole Farhi
model: Alana Zimmer


Reminds me of witches… looks like an ultra dark & gloomy collection
Tommy Hilfiger
models: Coco Rocha, Behati Prinsloo

After last season’s amazonia ads featuring Anja Rubik, Coco & Behati replaced her as the Tommy girls. They look like a bunch of college students don’t they?
Vera Wang
model: Yana Karpova

The ever elegant and feminine Vera Wang… but it remindS me of Christian Lacroix’s FW07 collection though, especially the hairpiece.
Loreal Glambronze
models: Brenda Costa, Doutzen Kroes

At least Loreal is turning to real models instead of celebrities to sell their products right now… Doutzen looks gorgeous as usual.
French Connection
model: Solange Wilvert

H&M
models: Anja Rubik, Freja Beha Erichsen, Tasha Tilberg

This looks almost like a replica of the Chloe ads, with two of the same models ( Tasha looks like Shalom anyways) and same searching-for-something poses…
Hugo Boss ‘Orange’
model: Devon Aoki


You mean, she still has a modelling career? After acting in strings of trashy movies?
Jil Sander
models: Irina Kulikova, Kasia Struss


Words have it that fashion is looking for a new generation of models with that youthful and quirky look. Since Jil Sander’s clothes look more like made-for-old-women, featuring darling models in their ads have been a tradition. This is very dreamy and sweet.
Ralph Lauren Blue Label
models: Valentina Zeliaeva, Magdelena Frackowiak

Sonial Rykiel
model: Iekeliene Stange

Oscar de la Renta
model: Caroline Trentini

John Galliano
model: Agyness Deyn

What John Galliano meant for– totally flamboyant with crazy patterns and colours
Pollini
model: Suzanne Diaz

A VERY boring ad. Plus, this look, dress-with-black-tights is so overrated!
Hogan
models: Fabiana Semprebom, Jeisa Chiminazzo

More Brazilian belles to model for this label. After last season’s Caroline Trentini, Fabiana and Jeisa are hailing their latest ads.
Topshop
model: Mona Johannesson

The same sort of unknown-model-posing-with-chic-clothes ads.
St.John
model/celeb: Angelina Jolie

A typical St.John ad, with Angie trying hard to pose like a real model and showing off her bee-stung lips.
Mango
model/celeb: Penelope Cruz

David Yurman
model: Kate Moss

Kate can really work this ‘classy & fabulous’ look. This is her third David Yurman ad campaign, she’s showing no sign of slowing down.
Ports 1961
model: Mirka Michlikova

Badgley Mischka
model: Teri Hatcher

I think it’s one of those brands that, you know, depend heavily on celebs for commercialism. I still remember those Olsen twins ads… but the Teri Hatcher ones really give me goosebumps for some reason.
Paul & Joe
model: Jessica Miller

Very elegant.
La Perla
model: Diana Dondoe

Love the settings. It makes a supposedly trashy lingerie ad look classy and beautiful.
Nicole Miller
model: Lonneke Engel

the man in the Lagerfeld ads is none other than his favourite male model, Brad Kroenig. very hot, but doesnt look that intimidating!
What the hell is the guy behind Naomi trying to do? Stretch some tiny groin muscle?
Mad props to the girls though, like Vlada for pulling stupid faces in multimillion dollar ads, Iekeliene looking totally sexy and fierce for once, Gemma for getting money to strike one pose in a campaign and only rotate her head 45 degrees between shots, Doutzen for nailing the exact skin colour as the background, and most of all Sasha P, who gets my vote, and heart, for Hottest Model (and Sexiest Lipstick) Of The Season.
“only rotate her head 45 degrees between shots”
…gosh that’s really funny!

The sad thing with the Balenciaga ads is that they repeat the same photos of Anabela. Suvi is great, Anabela just comes across as dead weight. They should have hired an another model if Ana was doing crap.
It`s unbelievable how some of these girls actually get cast to do this. No thought for quality control, just buzz? Like Julia Stickland in last seasons Jil Sander with her empty blank head. Aarghh! This seasons J.S. ads look a bit more promising.
Using so very green models backfires so often it hurts. Stop it!
Awesome post! Love your blog!
Awesome coverage!! Great stuff!!!
I do not know why but my favourite ad was the Vera Wang Ad with the babushka head coverings and the embroidered decadence. Very Russianesque, although I know it is not a word – I couldn’t found a better one that would sum up this romanticVera Wang Ad.

Hey, I thought that on stardoll you were like fake or something but now i know and see that this is awesome!!!! Are you sure a 18 year old could start this
As far as the Moschino ads go why didn’t you put up the one featuring the black models?
