The Best of Fall 2013 Ad Campaigns

Kenzo Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Most Fall/Winter 2013 Ad Campaigns have been released by now, and by most we mean we're still waiting for Gucci to close the deal. Yes, it's still July, but if you think about it, fall season is just around the corner. You'd have to agree that a great amount of campaigns have really put some effort into making one of the best advertisements this season. Some may be quirky cool, provocative, thoughtful, or controversial like Saint Laurent has been. 

Whether you love a certain campaign or not, the whole point of these campaigns are to captivate people's attention for a minimum amount of seconds. It only takes about two seconds to have someone take some time to turn around and pause to see an ad. This is why it comes to my conclusion that the following ads below and above are one of the best of the season. Being familiar with the brand's collection doesn't have to be tough homework, because a striking ad is all it takes to have you searching for that brand. 

Kenzo Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

In a short summary, Kenzo deserves an applause for its numerous outstanding campaigns. Its Fall 2013 campaign will probably have a wider audience searching for what the brand sells, and overall purchasing the item. In fashion, their collection may not have been the best of the season, but it will surely cause another street style sensation with their most recent technique of advertisements. As a customer, I felt somehow compelled to purchase those shoes the cat was in; they felt luxurious and cool. And about their other awkward semi-dissection ad, we have to say it does grab your attention.

What do you think about the rest of the Fall/Winter 2013 Ad Campaigns?

Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Miu Miu went for a provocative (lusty) ad that was set on a boat. Doesn't this sound like the perfect setting to provoke sensuality with models Adriana Lima and Emily DiDonato above? 

Michael Kors Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Michael Kors seems to have focus on delivering a much more sophisticated campaign over the past few seasons. We know Michael Kors is a traveler, but we want to see where his collection will take us each season. Karmen Pedaru and Simon Nessman have turned to be the perfect couple to take us on their adventures. This season, it seems Kors' was portraying a tough military influence with class. Pedaru's black and white coat number sold us. If you thought the coat may have looked kitsch, think again.

Fendi Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Fendi took us to a very high building surface in their Fall 2013 campaign. It may be too overt (editorial vibe), but Saskia de Brauw is sure looking high-end in that fur coat. The campaign could even quality to have it framed in your salon.

Kate Moss in Versace's Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Versace without a doubt hit a high note with their Fall 2013 campaign. Who wouldn't want to pause to see Kate Moss naked covered with only Versace's yellow fur coat? Or see her making us want to purchase those colorful handbags? Let's just say this may go on our wall of iconic supermodels who can sell anything easily. 

Gisele Bundchen in Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Louis Vuitton had no other than Gisele Bundchen and an extraordinary selection of more supermodels pose for its new Fall 2013 campaign. Just as the collection implied, it wouldn't be surprising that the setting took place at a hotel. It was a romantic intimacy with supermodels that felt alluring.

Jil Sander Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Jil Sander likes to keep things minimal, and that was how her Fall 2013 campaign felt. There was only something about the wind blowing the model's hair and high-collared leather coat that was mind thoughtful and relaxing if you think about it. 

Tom Ford Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Tom Ford is the symbol of sexuality. This would be why his campaigns always portray a strong sex appeal in them, which is what his fall 2013 campaign had in them. As stated in one post, Mr. Ford knows who he is marketing to here: a woman who wants high luxury made sexy. (See more pictures here).

Donna Karan Fall/Winter 2013 Campaign

Donna Karan fall 2013 campaign was about capturing an intimate relation between an artist and his muse. The campaign doesn't need much explaining after this, because there is clearly something steamy going on between these two models. (See more pictures here). 

Also, take a look at Givenchy's Fall 2013 Campaign with actress, Amanda Seyfried here.

The Final Hours of Paris Fashion Week

The last day of a month full of Fashion Week was finally over. What a way to have begun the final hours with Louis Vuitton, following Miu Miu, and ending it relaxed with Elie Saab. You couldn't have asked for more.

Vibe: A romantic intimacy.
Results: This was by far the most romantic theme Marc Jacobs could portray for Louis Vuitton. Pajamas. It was all about those silky daywear numbers he opted to present. Who wouldn�t want to wake up like this in their LV pajamas and still look as gorgeous as a dress would imply? I know for most women this is their dream come true. No more dealing with the daily struggle of what to wear. Coats definitely were a plus. The manner in which colors sort of faded from each other was femininity to the max. And for the suits as the one above, Jacobs basically said, forget those pants, just make it your dress. I don�t know if that was romantic or lusty. What do you think?

Vibe: Star Trek gone sexy.
Results: Miu Miu (derived from Miuccia Prada�s nickname) has become one of the most sought out brands in fashion. It�s no surprise why this brand has had some of the honors of being one the of the second to last shows to close Paris Fashion Week, and to add, close a month full of Fashion Week. Ms. Prada has made it clear about the differences between Prada and Miu Miu. To summarize it, Prada is all about being playful and feminine, but Miu Miu � she�s the chic, fashion-forward, and lusty one. Those neckerchiefs provoked something mysterious hidden in her. The setting appeared futuristic, which gave the clothes that perfect atmosphere. Pink polka dot coats screamed femininity in a lustful style. Shoes became the future of the new sexy footwear. I mean, as usual, Miu Miu taught us some fashion tips to expect to be wearing in the future. Some of you may know that Star Trek will be out soon. I don�t know why, but the movie comes to mind when I view the collection. I can already imagine the women fighting with these clothes on. 

Vibe: Office evening
Results: Elie Saab has been in charge of closing a month full of Fashion Week. I believe it does feel adequate to close Fashion Week with a collection that feels relaxed and pleasant for many. This is what Elie Saab delivered in his presentation. I would have to state I view his collection more commercially than anything else. Now, his Haute Couture is another story. He is a talented man, but for a collection, I felt it was a little too resort or pre-fall to say the least. I hope you agree with me that the clothes were quite relaxed and lovely to watch. Colors � navy, purple, black, yellow, and white � were a hit target for many women. Southern women would definitely fall in love with the collection. If anything Elie Saab knows how to make beautifully, it would be lace embroidery. You have got to love them.

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2013 Ad - How Lustful Can Miu Miu Become?

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2013 Advertisement Campaign

Miu Miu�s Spring/Summer 2013 ad campaign was no doubt pure eroticism. Every shot provoked lust and temptation. Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes were two supermodels booked for the story, but model Bette Franke was the protagonist in this voluptuous campaign. Miuccia knew how to choose the perfect fabrics and cuts to give life to this well deserved setting. The silk bed lining and chromatic colors of the clothes spoke for themselves, not forgetting the models poses which gave away the whole inspiration. The gloves, taffeta outfits, denim skirt, and slipper dresses were perfect. It was all a tactic game that even on Miu Miu�s runway was already thought of. In my opinion, I believe this is one of the best stories told so far for a spring/summer 2013 collection advertisement. We�ll have to wait to see if other important brands can beat this lustful campaign. What are your thoughts towards these ads?
