IN LOVE WITH THE CLASSICS

Simon Nessman and Aymeline Valade by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for Giorgio Armani F/W 2012-2013

I know what you're thinking. How can these be my favorite campaign if it's so simple? Well that's why I like it. It's really strong and simple. It was the Armani stamp all over it. It's so classic, it's so Armani. I love the one with Simon Nessman. I will not defend myself for loving pure genius. 

Louis Vuitton also arrived and it's really cool. I like it when Marc goes all the way in the collections and he did it. The images reflect the collection perfectly. The images reflect more than the collection, they reflect the mood Marc was trying to create. Well done, well done.
Prada really bored me. I was hopping for something really eccentric with all those patterns but nothing happened. Same style, same shit. You are failing me Miuccia! Let's wait and see what's more to come. I am very curious to see what Karl Lagerfeld will do. And I wanna see Miu Miu as well. Oh! And of course, Givenchy.

THE KING IS STILL MISSING

Kate Moss @ John Galliano S/S 94

Recently I watched a documentary about Christy Turlington. One of the scenes gave me so much nostalgia. It was the high point of Galliano's career. He was starting he's kingdom and becoming slowly the king of Paris. Now where is he? Nowhere to be found. I really miss Galliano. That show, was so amazing, and that picture of Kate is even more epic.
I really hope John makes a come back and steals our heart away. There is no one like him at all. He is the master genius of creation and craftsman. It is so sad to see his house under Gaytten hands. He was his assistant, he can't create what John creates. Please, someone in some superior place, make John come back. We need him, we miss him.

DYING GAULTIER

Still from How To Do That by Jean Paul Gaultier

I think Jean Paul Gaultier needs a major re-vamp. It's always the same and it's boring. It all looks the same right now. Get it together JP and start doing something cool.

THE NEW SEASON

 Anna De Riik and Paolo Anchisi by Alasdair McLellan for Emporio Armani F/W 2012/2013

Finally the fall/winter 2012/2013 are starting to arrive! This is by far my favorite moment. Being able to see how the creative directors will interpret the clothes and create beautiful images. This being said I have to give a virtual hi5 to Christopher Bailey and uncle Mario that finally did something different. It's not that different, but at least feels fresh and new. Loving the dark vibe. Prada menswear was a big disappointment but I'm still hoping for the womenswear campaign. Another almost hit was Versace. I want to see more pictures! And winning them all is the king Giorgio himself. Loved that he hired Alasdair McLellan. I've been loving his pictures for a few months. He deserves a big break like this. So, let's wait and see, there's a lot more coming!
