Versace's Spring Advertising Campaign With Giesele Bunchen


In Vogue UK today there is a second ad from Gisele Bündchen's Spring 2008 advertising Campaign.

I showed you the first pictures, which I prefer to these, but these are beautiful.

Last week someone wrote into say that the shoes in this Versace campaign are NOT Christian Louboutin. Well they look very much like Louboutin's to me with the trademark red heel and sole.

What do you think?



Gisele Bündchen and Kate Moss swapped campaigns this season. Last season Gisele Bündchen was the face of YSL and Kate Moss was the face of Versace. I love colour scheme of these ads. They not so in your face and loud like previous campaigns. They are more soft and subtle, yet still fierce and sexy. Her legs are amazing and I want those Louboutin's.

Versace's Spring Advertising Campaign With Giesele Bunchen







Just when I thought the Versace Spring 2008 campaign could not get any better, these pictures appear on the Versace website.

This is some of Gisele Bündchen best work.

Donatella casting of this ad was a masterstroke because I have never really considered buying Versace bags or shoes, but this campaign has ensured that I will be going to check them out.

Those strappy shoes need a place in my closet.

Runway to Red Carpet: Jenny Packham



The Hills "reality star" Lauren Conrad wore this flirty chiffon cocktail dress from Jenny Packham's Fall 2007 collection to the premiere of Cloverfield. Conrad looked beautiful in this black and white print dress with a colourful embroidered waist and hem.

IT bag $$$



The newest IT bag, for those who can afford it, is the Burberry 'Alligator' Warrior bag. This bag will retail at $22,000/£13,000 and I can't see why. OK the alligator skin has a lot to do with it, but even if I had that kind of money to spend on this bag, I would not. Even a standard Birkin does not cost that much.



We should not be surprised at the growing retail price of bags, considering Chanel sold it's 'Forever' bag, - also cut from alligator skin and studded with 334 diamonds - for a staggering $261,000/£130,000.




And last year, we were all shocked when Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork bag, a creation that earned the nickname "Frankenstein's monster" in the fashion press, still retailed at $46,000/£23,000 and sold out.

So who is buying these bag?

Well according to the Independent newspaper, Burberry's orders for this bag come mostly from the Middle East, Russia and Texas.

If you are interested in putting down 22K for this Burberry bag, you can pre-order it on Burberry's US Website. All the bags sold out, but only Beyonce was photographed carrying it.

Who Wore RM by Roland Mouret Better?



It is not often you see Victoria Beckham wearing anything after another celebrity, but here she wears this grey tweed RM by Roland Mouret Fall 2007 dress a month after her Spice Girl pal Melanie Brown.

Melanie wore her dress to a Christmas Sing-Along charity event (hence the bucket) in London department store Selfridges last month. She wore her stunning dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin boots and patterned tights

Victoria never to be outdone, teamed her dress with a cropped fur jacket, purple Christian Louboutin Rolandos and sported yet another new Hermes bag - what is that like 50 now?

She wore her dress to Roland Mouret's RM presentation in Paris.

I love Victoria, but I think this dress fits Melanie Brown much better. Looks a little baggy on Mrs Beckham.

Runway to Red Carpet: Georges Chakra



The jury is still out on this Georges Chakra Fall 2007 strapless feathered gown, which Tyra Banks wore to the BET Honors Event 2008.



I love everything from breast bone up, but I am torn on the everything from the breast bone down on this Georges Chakra gown.

Runway to Red Carpet: Balmain

Runway to Red Carpet: Gucci



Jessica Alba wore this dual coloured Gucci Spring 2008 one-shouldered gown to the G'Day USA Australia Day Black Tie Gala.

Who Wore Alexander McQueen Better?



Jessica Alba first wore this green Alexander McQueen strapless dress to the "Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer" Mexico City Premier.

Mary J Blige wore the same dress with added gold necklace to the Movies Rock Event in LA.

Runway to Red Carpet: Dior, Bottega Veneta and Calvin Klein



I was worried that after seeing all the paparazzi shots of Victoria Beckham's Elle Magazine shoot back in October 2007, that by the time I saw the magazine, it will feel like old news, but that is not the case as we have these studio pictures which are fresh and new. On the cover she is wearing a cotton jersey tank, and suspender pants from Dior Spring 2008.

Runway to Red Carpet: Beyonce



My chin hit the floor when I saw how beautiful she was wearing this Chanel Fall 2007 dress. It is so sophisticated and suits her figure perfectly. I wish she would dress like this more often. It annoys me when she wears those cheap looking designs by her mum. Beyonce and Jay-Z are currently in the capital of love - Paris - celebrating his birthday 2008.

Runway to Red Carpet: Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Marta Torne



Frida Giannini's Gucci Spring 2008 collection was the most worn on the red carpet.
Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner and Spanish actress Marta Torne all wore Frida's distinctive sunflower yellow, black and white Spring 2008 designs. I feel we will see more stars wearing this collection, as there as so many great pieces to choose from. Blake Lively also wore a gorgeous dress from the Gucci Fall 2007 collection.

David Beckham Poses For Armani Underwear



Yes David Beckham is smokin' hot in this picture, but this is fashion related as David posed in his briefs for the new Armani underwear ad campaign which was shot in LA with fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Apparently there are more pictures to come....

Who Wore Alexander Wang Better?



Nicole Scherzinger and Mischa Barton are not only wearing the same Alexander Wang mini dress, but they are also wearing Christian Louboutin studded footwear. Nicole first wore her dress to MTV's TRL show with her Ariella boots.

Mischa Barton wore her dress to the Dolce & Gabbana fragrance launch dinner in New York with her Mad Mary Janes.

I am not crazy about the dress.

Who Wore Dior Better?



Jersey tanks and suspender pants from the Dior Spring 2008 collection are popular in January 2008 magazines.

Victoria Beckham is on the cover of US Elle Magazine, wearing this ensemble, and Kate Hudson's editorial is for US Vogue.

Victoria's pose is front on and sexy with her shoulder strap falling, whereas Kate's is more fun, cute and quirky.
