Ad Campaign | Versace Man F/W 2012/2013


The sexy bold looks from Versace’s Fall 2012 collection are photographed by Mert & Marcus in this black and white campaign.
Shot in London, the campaign features models, Dmitriy Tanner and Philipp Schmidt, who have been styled by David Bradshaw. Art direction by Giovanni Bianco, hair by Garren and makeup by Lucia Pieroni.
I do wish the campaign was in colour, I mean isn’t Versace known for their crazy colours and vivid prints? Takes away from the clothes I find!

The third & final installment of Bruce Weber’s provocative videos for Abercrombie & Fitch. This one, titled, ‘After You’ve Wrestled, Everything Else in Life Seems Easy’ has models taking a dip in a pool where they’re what else, but wrestling.
Water Orgy! Who’s in?! Um, hi, right here!!! This one is my favourite from an artistic point of view, but the first one when they’re all in the shower - the hottest!
Watch the first and second ones!

Ad Campaign | Fashion Against AIDS 2012 By H&M

Boys making out, girls making out, H&M certainly is getting everyone’s attention with these racy and raw images for the retailer’s campaign for Fashion Against AIDS.
The latest campaign shots coincide with the Spring 2012 collection look book, seen on H&M’s website, so the sexiness continues there! Check it out, oh and the bonus of buying the collection, 25% of proceeds go to HIV/AIDS prevention projects worldwide.
Here are some pictures from last year’s collection when I went to the preview at H&M. But honestly, I think that’s more than a year ago, it’ll be 2 years in the summer I think!

The second video of Bruce Weber’s controversial series of ads for Abercrombie & Fitch.
The first had to do with male models wrestling and making out, now this one, according to Weber, ‘Basketball Is What Boys Do During Men’s Wrestling Season.’ But, they’re all still wrestling, semi-naked, I think I’m starting to see the trend…wrestling. Meh, who cares it’s smoking hot!

Ad Campaign | Vivienne Westwood Man S/S 2012

Westwood’s eccentric design and styling are transferred beautifully onto the men’s S/S 2012 ad campaign on model, Daniel Bamdad.
Photographed by the equally eccentric, Juergen Teller, the Spring 2012 campaign focuses on tailoring with Westwood’s signature quirks.

Photographer, Bruce Weber directs his latest film, Other Sports Require One Ball Wrestling Requires Two. A cheeky and very racy take on ‘balls,’ Mr. Weber - I wonder what you’re referring to!
The video features models photographed in black & white seen first on the wrestling mat and then showering, the best part - it’s an ad for Abercrombie & Fitch!
A&F is no stranger to the homoerotic imagery it portrays to its consumer, but this has gone to the next level! It’s sparking controversy because of the ‘kiss’ the models are giving one another - but really that’s nothing compared to the video people. I can’t deal with people ragging on the fact that they can’t take guys kissing. Well, get use to it people because Weber is dishing out more, this is one of four “Webersodes” located on Weber’s website.

Ad Campaign | GANT By Michael Bastian S/S 2012
This bright summer collection would have been awesome if it were styled better. What happened GANT (last year’s was awesome!) team?! It looks like someone just threw them on models, Kevin Freed and Rodrigo Calazans.
Wearing a jumble of oxfords, polos, shorts, accessories and other seperates, the models are photographed by Oscar Falk for GANT By Michael Bastian.

And those sunglasses look awful on Freed (right). This is your international campaign?! Disappointing from the Michael Bastian team!

Dolce & Gabbana’s Italian family themed S/S 2012 ad campaign video was just released and I’m totally loving it! The music, the theme and the adorable, Simone Nobili doesn’t hurt either!
DG’s latest short with the narration of Giampaolo Sgura’s images and editing by the brilliant, Luca Finotti stars the likes of Monica Bellucci, Bianca Balti and of course Simone!
I love the scenes of Portofino, Italy! So perfect!
