From runway to… weight loss commercials? We’re digging the high fashion lipstick in this French ad campaign

Comments

Bring on the lipstick! See all the posters »

When you think of beauty trends, weight loss commercials are generally not the first (or even second, third, or fourth!) thing that comes to mind. However, we can’t stop watching this French ad for Weight Watchers—all because of its stunning makeup artistry. Created by Parisian agency Fred & Farid, the commercial and posters are a huge departure from anything we’ve see this side of the Atlantic. Gone are the approachable spokeswomen and their before and after poses. Instead: bright, highly saturated shots of lips and food—with creative lipstick designs at the centre of it all. Read more »

Cats just keep getting trendier. Introducing the first “catvertising” agency

Comments

Meow! From United Bamboo’s conceptual calendar to Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham’s must-have kitty prints, cats are a trend that continue to infiltrate the fashion industry. So when Toronto-based advertising agency John St. released their “catvertising” video this week, we were on board—assuming, of course, that this means more fashion and feline collaborations are in the works.

Torontoist stopped by the John St. offices and has the full scoop on the video’s creation, as well as where, exactly, all those cats came from. Read on »

Terry Richardson snaps Jessica Stam with a tiger and a giant shoe box for Aldo’s spring/summer campaign

1 Comment

We have a little pre-Valentine’s day, Friday afternoon treat for you: Shots from Aldo’s spring/summer campaign, shot by Terry Richardson and starring Jessica Stam. While the campaign is ostensibly about Aldo’s shoes and accessories (check the cute bow bracelet on the first slide), photo–a big red heart, a giant ice-cream cone, a hot lips phone and a ceramic tiger. Campaign-mate Boyd Holbrook is holding his own little piece of pop culture–a disco ball that references Richardson’s cover of Justin Timberlake’s Future Sex/Love Sounds. (Meta!)

How long does it take you to see Raquel Zimmermann in this McQueen ad?

It really did take us a while to spot Zimmermann in this Nick Knight-snapped ad for Alexander McQueen‘s Spring 2010 campaign. First you see the shoe (oh that infamous shoe) and then your eye travels up and right, putting the image together piece by piece until you arrive at a Medusa-like clutch of hair and serpent. A first rate puzzle. (Oh please someone make this a puzzle!) [via Refinery29]
