Chanel Trio

Like many others, I don't get Baptiste's appeal but what Karl likes, he keeps. I am just glad that he has found some other muses that he adores at the moment- Freja, Lara Stone and Heidi Mount all included. Though Heidi was not in the final three, she still opens Chanel and was the Chanel girl past seasons.

And, I love how Karl is pairing Baptiste and Freja together. I have to say, Freja does look good paired with Baptiste.

In the room

New fall ads are starting to come out one by one. Among the earliest is the Givenchy ad. I just noticed some Fall ads that kind-of look alike to me. The setting-models sitting or standing around in a room- that is. Of course, the mood of each ads differ, Givenchy presents a wicked darker ad while Dolce & Gabbanna gives me a feeling that they're continuing where they left off from their Spring campaign with a different cast this time around while maintaining their favorite Maria Carla Boscono. I kept thinking what an odd cast - Edita and Heidi Mount replacing Karlie Kloss and Caroline Trentini- but I must say that this time, it works better. The best Dolce & Gabbana casting for me is when they combine Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson and Gemma Ward for their SS2008 campaign followed closely by the next Fall 2008 ad. D&G to me is more an "outdoor"ad if you look at their past ad campaigns and it usually involves a lot of models. But for Fall 2009, D&G surprisingly was set in a library like room which showcases all the outfits clearly with the models standing or sitting looking straight into the camera. Funny enough, I thought this look like a family potrait maybe from the Victorian age.
