THIS just in: Kate Moss caught on camera again!
Forget her scandal with nose-candy in the fall ad campaigns, Kate reigns. She’s raking in about $20 million as the face of labels like Calvin Klein Jeans, Louis Vuitton, Dior and Burberry.
So flip past the articles to get what we really want: hot pictures of Moss, and these other advertising standouts:
Hottest celeb endorsement: Marc Jacobs’ classic, luxe Louis Vuitton ads feature supermodels like Moss and stars like Pharrell “Louis Vuitton Don” Williams impeccably airbrushed and perfectly accessorized.
Best film reference: Marc Jacobs’ eponymous label stars Jennifer Jason Leigh grubbily channeling the spirit of Mugatu’s “Derelicte.”
Coolest ad for girls: Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld toned down the chi-chi, showing model-of-the-moment Daria Werbowy wearing a casual Chanel-meets-jeans combo just like the cool girls in L.A. do it. It’s a move in the right direction for the fashion house, whose clientele is more and more the young, moneyed jet-set girls like Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins.
Coolest ad for boys: Iggy Pop vamps for John Varvatos. Too bad the ad campaign out-cools the clothes.
Worst timing: Arab-chic at Chloe. Since designer Phoebe Philo departed the house of Chloe, things just haven’t been the same where are the sexy bohemian girls in colorful dresses carelessly galavanting down the street? This season, Chloe gives us bohemian-gone-wrong all the way to Morocco models in headwraps and pleated sack dresses acid-tripping in the desert. How Anne Heche! Never mind, we were only going to buy the shoes this season anyway.
Most outrageous: Dolce and Gabbana are up to their old over-the-top shenanigans. This time, they’ve decked their models out in wild neo-Neoclassical garb and moussed and fluffed their tresses up into oh-so-Napoleonic Oompa-Loompa dos. What a great idea for Halloween, we say.
Cutest: Our choice for best-dressed this season? The pink, blue and purple pups posing for Juicy Couture’s fragrance ads.
What’s this an ad for? Madonna for H&M is this an ad for Madonna or an ad for H&M? The clothes are white, the background’s white all you see is Madonna’s disembodied head floating around in the middle of the page.
Most improved: MaxMara’s understated, simple, cozy photos make you actually want to wear the clothes a first for those under 30, we’re sure.
