VALENTINO Spring 2014 Ad-Campaign

Spring 2014 is the season of Malaika Firth. The model of the moment, Malaika Firth stars in another major advertising campaign, this one for the House of VALENTINO.
Malaika opened and closed the VALENTINO Spring 2014 fashion show in Paris, and now is featured in this stunning campaign photographed by Craig McDean with hair by Orlando Pita and makeup by Lucia Pieroni. This follows up already her images for Burberry Prorsum and Prada. The British model poses in a red lacy look, and drips in gold jewelry including a headband, glittering bracelets and chain necklaces.

Malaika is the 19 year old British model who has been hailed as “the next Naomi Campbell”. She was born in Kenya, and moved to London when she was just 7 years old. Her parents are from a mix of cultures – British, Ungandan, Swiss, Seychelles and Kenyan.  Malaika is proud of her diverse heritage,

“I have this mix in me and I’m so proud to be a mixed race. I think a lot of mix race girls out there are insecure about their color and they should be proud and happy that they are both.”

'Medea by VALENTINO Spring/Summer 2014'

'Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli immersed themselves in opera as they were designing this collection. Images of Maria Callas, playing the vengeful Medea in Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1969 film all stark robes and stately golden jewelry stuck in their minds. Further delvings into the costumes and drawings at the opera house in Rome, and then more research into traditional peasant needlework and “humble” fabrics became part of the thinking.'

ELIE SAAB F/W 2013/14 Ad-Campaign

Tweet

Embracing the essence of sheer beauty and delicateness, the ELIE SAAB Autumn/Winter 2013/2014 campaign shot by the talented Craig McDean embodies the light of a modern woman, Karmen Pedaru, capturing the epitome of sophistication and graceful poise. Transparent silk chiffons and slender vine-pattered lace emphasize the weightlessness of her silhouette, accentuating the luminous purity that she emanates from dusk until dawn.

Enjoy the Fall/Winter'13/14 RTW campaign & show video at the end of this post!

Love, Andrea 

'Strictly Decorative', ELIE SAAB called his Fall/Winter 2013/14 Ready-to-Wear collection, but that applied mostly to his daywear, which had a somewhat regimental feel in navy and black. There was sleek tailoring in crepe satin, and a few take-no-prisoners sheaths with waist-accentuating peplums topped by fitted jackets. A sweeter pinafore dress with a full skirt looked out of place among all that rigor.

For evening, Saab softened things up, adding colors like teal blue, violet, and chartreuse yellow to his lineup of white and black, and, as is his custom, laying on the sequins and beads. Picking up where his couture collection left off, he experimented with sheer tulle insets and peekaboo laces, which meant that while the silhouettes were modest, the results were still quite suggestive. Among the finer pieces was a demure cocktail dress in black lace with varying degrees of transparency, and a full-skirted black gown with an embroidered lace bodice and sleeves ...
