Lanvin Fall 2011 Campaign

What more could you need this winter than the new Lanvin campaign to shake off those winter blues. Amazing.

This video of model Cato Van Ee is so interesting, I've watched it a number of times now and I love how her faces moves in reverse. The short film is the newest instalment in a series of films that the telegraph has commissioned about models.

I hadn't realised that the music had been reversed until reading the article, showing that when something works, you don't see its flaws.

First Heartbreak

The video to accompany DM's new campaign. Brilliant.

FIRSTANDFOREVER

Dr. Marten have recently launched their new advertising campaign, fronted by two well know faces - Agyness Deyn and Ash Stymest.

Both models known for their striking looks give the heritage brand a recognisable face, and define the look Dr. Marten stands for.

The couple who look like they were cut from the same cloth, and a pair I wouldn't mind getting in between myself, act like each others first love in this skinhead inspired photo shoot, which portrays the bleak life of the north in the late 1980's. A time when Dr. Martens were adorning the feet of all of those that followed the subculture.

DM's new campaign invites all to share there first experiences, with there website carrying the tag line - ' new experiences shape us. First times define us. Single moments stay with us forever.' The words create a kind of mantra that the brand want to impose on there admirers, and with the help of a social map, they encourage us to share our first with the rest of the DM world, an opportunity most have used to share there most treasured memories.

This being my favourite....

My first Heartbreak came after my first kiss, then two weeks of ecstatic romance, late night drives and mixtapes. We were 18, he broke it off because (he later admitted) he was falling in love with me

The whole campaign makes me want to spend my well earned pay check on a few pairs of what DM have to offer, and although I currently own a well under used pair of black eight hole originals, when can anyone have too many shoes.

I think Dr Marten just gave me the cure to the soon to come winter blues.

PRADA: A/W 2011

I know I'm a little late, but I am rather fond of what Prada and Steven Meisel have created here.

Inspirational Mad Men

With the news of Gaps sister brand Banana Republic set to release a Mad Men inspired capsule collection. I wanted to take a look at what all the fuss was about, and see how the early 1960's was making its comeback.

Banana Republics Collection

The show which was originally aired in 2007, has gathered a number of both awards, and fans

as it now heads into its 5 season.

The style which has been so sympathetically created by the shows costume designer - Janie Bryant - has been seen in previous seasons by the heavy weights, Louis Vuitton being the most memorable with their Fall 2010 campaign.

This Same style has been seen by both Prada for their Fall 2010, and by Christian Dior for their Spring 2011 catwalk collections.

Prada

Christian Dior

Drapers mentioned in their autumn 2011 report that 'The influence of Mad Men star Christian Hendricks and Prada and Marc Jacobs' full length skirts with fitted tops from autumn 10 have filtered into contemporary and mainstream womenswear' Giving a hint that we will soon see this styles - made popular by the sitcom - hitting the high streets this winter.

So grab your grey marl socks, mid-length skirts and chunky knits and head for a productive day at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.

A Family Portrait By Miles Aldridge

I Just stumbled across this editorial for Vogue Italia and I must say I do like the composition and great use of colour. I love editorials with a bit of humour and depth, and they always insure I take those extra few moments to take the whole image in.

The full shoot is well worth a lasting look.
