//75/ Dress: Rag & Bone Spring 2011 Campaign: Abbey

Rag & Bone Spring 2011 Campaign

Model & Photography: Abbey Lee Kershaw

//Apparently you don't need an astronomical budget to produce a fantastic campaign: Rag & Bone rounded up four of the hottest models and got them photograph themselves and voilà a truly original campaign was born (though the cost of booking the models most probably was astronomical).

//I think this is also a lovely way of for once actively involving the model and allowing her to contribute substantially. So here is the first of the models: Abbey Lee Kershaw. I love that she has chosen such intimate, unusual backdrops for her photographs.


//Oh and in case you were wondering what Rag & Bone is: average ready-to-wear stuff with some lovely pieces in between, check it out here or read the blog...

//73/ Dress/Music: Prada & Ratatat

Prada Spring 2011 Campaign
Models: Arizona Muse, Tati Cotliar, Mariacarla Boscono...

                               


//I have been listening to a lot of Ratatat lately and then BOOM there is the Prada Campaign Video Clip and the soundtrack is Mirando by Ratatat...I think you can imagine how excited I was. Other than that I love the video, it is fun and bouncy but otherworldly all the same. I'm quite fond of the jazz-inspired clothing too and well, those colourful heels, I would kill for them...

//72/ Dress: Thrift Cape Town

Photography: Aqueelah Harron, Vivian De Waal
Styling: Gabrielle Kannemeyer, Thrift Cape Town
Models: Phelora Elle, Rebecca Olsson

//May I introduce you to Thrift Cape Town. Thrift are two girls that had the ingenious idea of taking carefully selected vintage clothing, re-doing it and selling it-online and elsewhere. How convenient! And how lovely are these photographs? They are from two separate editorials/catalogues that the girls produced. The styling is spot-on.

//The only problem is that the clothing sells exponentially fast and since it works on a first-come first-serve basis you have to be quite lucky to get the items you want. Anyway you can take a closer look on their blog or on their facebook page, where there are more lovely photographs and items that are currently on sale to be found.
