DIOR Fall/Winter 2016 Ad-Campaign With Julia Nobis

Julia Nobis is back as the face of Dior’s Autum/Winter 2016 campaign after previously appearing in the autumn 2015 advertisements. The Australian beauty poses for Steven Meisel in dynamic studio shots. Each shot features the blonde model in mid-stride with a bag hanging from her hand. Dior’s autumn collection was designed by Serge Ruffieux and Lucie Meier, who will also unveil the haute couture collection in July.

As the embodiment of the Dior ready-to-wear autumn-winter 2016-2017 collection, the progressively mobile woman is an active and expressive woman of today. Incarnated by Julia Nobis, her personality is spontaneously expressed in an unfettered mix of garments, motifs and embroideries. In this series of shots, her athletic dynamism reveals the inherent richness of the creations she wears: a skirt's sensual slit exposing a leg caught in mid-stride, an association of animal and plant motifs visible when the panels of a coat flip up, or the flounces of a dress that flutter with a shift of the shoulders.

'Christian Dior & The French Riviera'

"Paradise is here." - Christian Dior

Callian, Montauroux, Le Lavandou, Saint-Tropez and Saint-Raphaël… Christian Dior had always been inspired by the sunny charms of the French Riviera. It was like a faithful mirror, a sister land that reflected and nourished his sunny soul.

'DIOR Cruise 2017 Presentation at Blenheim Palace'

A few of the quainter ones were being trotted out by the natives who had boarded “The Dior Express” as it chugged through the Oxfordshire countryside, bound for Blenheim Palace May 31st (see my Instagram-story @andreajankeofficial direct from the show). It was bucketing down, pelting, chucking it down, raining cats and dogs doing everything in its power, in fact, to rain on the grand, sweeping country house location of Dior’s Resort show.

"Girls Approaching Car" by MIU MIU F/W '15/16 Campaign

MIU MIU releases 'SUBJECTIVE REALITY', the new Fall/Winter 2015/16 Ad-Campaign. Maybe it’s the season, or the constant change in fashion, but high fashion seems to be taking their campaigns in another direction the streets. First, there was Gucci, and now Miu Miu. The Italian house shot their Fall 2015 campaign in New York City, from the bus stop to the traffic lights to the sidewalk. Campaign shot by Steven Meisel, starring Maddison Brown, Hailey Gates, and repeat Miu Miu campaign stars Mia Goth and Stacy Martin, the four models pose casually accompanied with a backdrop of equally stylish passer-bys.

We love how the photos come with obvious captions such as “girls approaching car” and “waiting at bus stop”, something in which Miu Miu does not usually adhere to. If this means a fresh take for the label from Miuccia Prada, we’re totally in.

A Moody Spring by LOUIS VUITTON

A Moody Spring – Marking Marc Jacobs’ final campaign for Louis Vuitton, the spring 2014 season features six of his muses including Sofia Coppola, Catherine Deneuve, Caroline de Maigret, Fan Binging, Gisele Bündchen and Edie Campbell (Coppola, Deneuve and de Maigret images are the first to be released). Photos by Steven Meisel.

Here are some more images from Louis Vuitton’s spring 2014 campaign, the final advertisements from Marc Jacobs. Accordingly, Jacobs tapped his favorite muses including models Gisele Bundchen, Caroline de Maigret and Edie Campbell, director Sofia Coppola, actresses Fan Bingbing and Catherine Deneueve. Steven Meisel captured the women in New York with a focus on the Noé bag and luggage.

“It’s been great.” These three words were the only indication from Marc Jacobs that he has, indeed, completed his sixteen years of work for Louis Vuitton. And that was exactly the term great for the extraordinary show he sent out in the Cour Carrée du Louvre tent in which he has given fashion people some of the most visceral and dramatic experiences witnessed in recent times. Actually, top that: It was astounding. This exit collection summed up not just what Marc Jacobs can achieve as a showman and designer, but why fashion is worth being part of at all.

Although from the scenery to the clothes, the setting was all black (with the exception of blue jeans), this show did not come from an emotionally dark place. Instead, Jacobs put on a performance which was about showgirls. “The first thing I thought was about Esther Williams and synchronized swimming,” he said. “But then I decided I wanted to do something about black, sparkling black, and texture and night!” In the studio he had the sound track from Chicago on a loop (interspersed with blasts of Rihanna) while he drew all the looks and supervised the fitting of each of 41 intensely worked outfits, each of them a perfect example of what is possible when a great, witty, culturally connected New York imagination meets with what the Parisians call “savoir faire.” Boil it down and you have the genius idea of a fantastically beaded and feathered something. It could be a boldly embroidered jacket or a semi-sheer paillette-paved long dress pulled over jeans; a treasury of Victoriana and ultra-elaborate couture brought down to the level every girl in the street will lust after.

A literal retrospective this wasn’t, although the opening look Edie Campbell with a Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton graffiti bodysuit, walking like an Erté drawing of something out of the Folies Bergère had what Jacobs has brought to the brand literally written all over her. She was followed by a sustained parade of wonderful and believable clothes, an enhancement of what Jacobs had already shown in New York, but laden with cross-references to the style of the designers and performers he frankly adores. There were biker jackets in homage to Rei Kawakubo, salutes to Miuccia Prada in the jeweled dresses, and allusions to Elsa Schiaparelli in the surreal placing of motifs on sheer dresses. This grand finale was a summation of a body of work which has vaulted Louis Vuitton which was just a dusty luggage brand before he arrived to a commercially dazzling spot in the global firmament.

But this was also a show about shows and show people, and of course the shows Jacobs has contributed to the greater glory of Vuitton as well as Paris itself. The set was an all-black composite of his past theatrical triumphs: the one show with the fairground carousel, the fountain occasion, the lift, the hotel, the escalators, the backward-running station clock.And more than that, this was a show of thanks to all the women who inform and inspire him. He named 34 editors, designers, and performing superstars (past and very much present) in the simple and very personal sign-off letter that was left on every seat. His last word? “To the showgirl in all of us!” And what next? Well, the show will go on, but now with Jacobs’s talent moved wholly to the stage in New York. That’s a thrilling prospect. And as for the future of Louis Vuitton? Well, that’s one hell of an act to follow.
