Lenny Kravitz & Charlotte Free Team Up For ELEVEN PARIS Spring/Summer 2013 Campaign


French label ELEVEN PARIS have just released their Spring Summer 2013 campaign which features aging rocker Lenny Kravitz and "neo seapunk rising model" [lulz] Charlotte Free. (I knew seapunk was dead, but I didn't realize we were already in a stage of the neoseapunk).

There's not much going on in the photos, but these images will definitely be great to see plastered all over the streets of Paris, London and NYC -- though you're probably only going to see that happening in one out of the three cities mentioned. 

It's also the French label's 10th anniversary, so mazel tov to them on that. Hopefully, things are going to go there way for another 10 more (see what I did there?)

WATCH: New Louis Vuitton Fashion Film Stars Some Bag-y Bloggers


Shi shi Paris-based baggage experts Louis Vuitton just released a cutesy lil' new fashion film, dedicated to all things mini. 

Tired of carrying your life around in that Celine Boston bag or that P.S.1 that's on the verge of falling apart? Well, why not go for a LV mini in a variety of colorful options? 

Since the peeps over at the L to the Vizzle are getting recently fond of creating commercial-type short films, it would be awesome to see them do something for the Super Bowl. But alas, that would be totes off-brand for a luxury retailer in the reality of things. Though, a girl can dream -- can't she?

Check out the clip down below, featuring fashion week regulars Elin Kling, Hanneli Mustaparta and Miroslava Duma:

Alejandro Ingelmo "Made in Maine" Collection: The Ultimate in Yacht Rock Footwear


NYC-based shoe designer Alejandro Ingelmo released his latest collection called "Made in Maine." The unisex collection features penny loafers and boat shoes with a New Wave edge thanks to fluo colors in shiny-ass materials. The colors these shoes come in are totally sick. What else is sick? The platforms on these babies.

What isn't sick is the price tag that comes along with them. Shoe styles in this collection range from $475 to $800. But if that's totally fine for you or Daddy's wallet, then head over to Barneys NY, Neiman Marcus and Harvey Nichols soonish. For those that live in NYC, you can head over to the Alejandro Ingelmo store in SoHo, where they'll be stocked this week. If you don't live in the UK or in the US, you can also get a pair (or pairs) from Alejandro's website

See all of my favorite women's styles from the collection down below:

Azealia Banks Stars in JOYRICH's Spring 2013 Fashion Film. Sort Of.


Los Angeles RTW clothing label JOYRICH just dropped their brand new fashion film for the spring/summer 2013 collection. 

The short film is soundtracked by Twitter-beefin' Azealia Banks with her "Van Vogue" jam. The song is dope and the clothes ain't bad either. 

As usual for anything pumped out of the JOYRICH factory, I want ERRYTHANG from this collection.

Hollur at your girl with the lame Photoshop skills!

Moschino S/S '13 Campaign: 60s Revival Anti-Vomit


Ok, so I'm not a big fan of this whole space-age-mod-revival trend that hit the catwalks this past Spring/Summer 2013 season (loved it back in Spring 2003 and Spring 1966, of course) -- I'm looking at you Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton (I mean, obvi), Prada and PPQ.

Oh, and Moschino also is on that list too - hence this post. Except there's something about the lo-fi-ness about this spring/summer 2013 campaign that gives the clothes/looks a natural vintage aura that doesn't make me want to vomit my soul out.

Maybe I'm just a sucker for Juergen Teller's photography?
Maybe I'm a sucker for the backdrop city of Milan?
Maybe I'm a sucker for models Hanne Gaby Odiele and Juliana Schurig?

Whatever.

Raf Simons' First Dior Campaign is a Post Post Modernism Wet Dream


Under the creative direction of Creative Director Raf Simons, the house of Dior lined up photog Willy Vanderperre to shoot the Spring/Summer 2013 campaign. The model line-up includes Daria Strokous, Anna Martynova, Daiane Conterato and Marie Piovesan aka some Eastern Euro 12 year olds I've never heard of before.

The shoot is giving me post post modernism surrealism. Pinteresttubmblrgooglesnapchathashtagtwitterfacebookinstagram that to find out what I mean.

PS those sunglasses in the photo above are sick, as in super baller, in my honest opinion.

Karl Lagerfeld Shoots CHANEL Spring/Summer 2013 Campaign


King Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld shot CHANEL's Spring/Summer 2013 campaign, featuring supermodel Stella Tennant alongside 16 year-old models Ondria Hardin and Yumi Lambert.

The mini hula hoop bag whose grand scale sister made a sensation at this season's runway show in Paris back in September also makes a cameo in the campaign. Not be out-done, the equally buzzed about lego bag also makes an appearance, and more than once actually.

The campaign images are giving me some Prada-slash-Wes-Anderson realness. Et vous?
