Mr K must be a happy man because Lily Allen is completely channeling every girl's favorite style icon Audrey Hepburn in these newly released images for Chanel. Way to go Lil!

Emma Watson the new face of Burberry!
( One of the new images from the newest Burberry adverts )
I initally took this news with a grain of salt (remember those Chanel rumors?) but...Omg y'all, look who scored the deal of the century! Emma Watson, better known as mousy, bossy, Hermione from Harry Potter - one of Rose and my favorite It girls- has been revealed as the new face of British Wunder Label Burberry. Those pictures of Watson at parties with Christopher Bailey weren't for nothing! She looks so beautiful too, totally at home with the oh-so-pouty male models. Love it!
Read the The Cut's opinion on the matter.

Burberry & D&G, Group Shots
(Click Images to Expand)
Loved seeing both of these campaigns in March Vogue (UK). Totally have the hots for the guy in the Burberry ad and madly in love with the nautical symbols in the D&G one. I love the style too, I know it's a signature for both brands and has been for a while but somehow its always still quite fresh.

Chanel Magazine Ads
As seen in Elle March (UK).
Loving the new Chanel adverts, so simple, classic and beautifully crisp. It's always nice to see a company embracing the minimal rather than trying to visually punch you in the face. They have only used a handful of colours and have really brought the product to the front in a really subtle way. Kudos.

Calvin Klein gets in on the act
It looks like sex really is the selling point for this year's key advertisements. Calvin Klein, fresh from their racy Eva Mendes starring promos has semi-released their new videos - which basically revolve around a group of models writhing all over each other dressed only in, you guessed it, Calvin Klein jeans.
As WWD.com says:
"Steven Meisel shot the new Jeans commercial, which has a grainy quality and looks like it was produced in an old basement, with male and female models — including Anna Selezneva, Anna Jagodzinska and Natasha Poly — who aren’t wearing much more than their Calvins and are writhing around all over each other. The 15- and 30-second spots will initially be exclusive online at calvinkleinjeans.com, the home of the brand’s future U.S. e-commerce site, beginning Friday. The commercial will be the site’s main attraction until the completed site launches in the summer."
Sexy ads aside is is nice to see a brand going with ballsy advertising and not caring if it gets on the air or not. Viral and website based videos are definitely the way of the future so..er...way to go Calvin Klein!
Check out the video for yourself, here.

YSL & Michael Pitt aka Sex on Toast.
(click to jump to The Cut to watch the advert)
From The Cut:
"Yves Saint Laurent's fall 2009 men's show in Paris this week opened with a short film directed by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. It consists of only a full-frame shot of Michael Pitt's face as he listens to an unseen woman talk to him erotically about clothes."
Can I get a "Yes please!" ? This is SFW but I bet you any money you'll blush. The combination of the words (spoken in French with subtitles in English of course) and the imagery is just killer.
You may remember Mr Pitt from such films as The Dreamers (which also featured one of my favorite actresses, Eva Green) and Gus Van Sant's Kurt Cobain inspired bio flick Last Days. Or even Hedwig and the Angry Inch. He's a completely brilliant actor who I think is often overlooked...he's also gorgeous but I didn't think that needed to be said. :P
Advertising: In Bed
(Top: Audrina Patridge for Divine Rights of Denim, Bottom: Scarlett Johansson for Dolce & Gabbana)
Originally I was going to make a comment about the modern, candid and almost Todd Selby-ish styling of the new Divine Rights of Denim promo ads (featuring American fake-soap star Audrina Patridge) and how impressed I was...but then I saw something just a little more interesting. Scarlett Johansson's new ad for D&G was of course blasted all over the internet a few days ago...and it seems to have just a couple of things similar to the Divine Rights ad that followed it. Nothing like the Nina Ricci vs Twilight fragrance foul up, but its still there...
Rose will tell you that I'm a mad fan of photographs of beds, people in bed, people on beds, empty beds, made beds, messy beds...the list goes on. Maybe it's a trend? Could I possibly be so lucky? Or is it just the age old trick of the fashion industry. Put a good looking woman in her underwear and on a bed, you can sell anything!...except maybe...life insurance?...although there is a good advert for Rabo plus (bank) with a girl on a bed...*walks away muttering*
