Lanvin maybe a luxurious fashion house but they know how to have fun when it comes to presentation. With redheaded Raquel Zimmermann and Karen Elson on board the brand shot a funny Fall/Winter 2011/2012 ad campaign. In the shots models seem like they’re dancing and well, they are. Their dancing moves make us smile and the fact they are wearing Lanvin luxurious dresses and jewelry makes it even better.

The two redheads dance to the song of Pitbull “I know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” while being shot by Steven Meisel in some luxurious apartment room. Lowell Tautchin and Milo Spijkers clad in 1930s style wide brim hats and velvet jackets also do the funny dance.

Lanvin Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collections of both menswear and womenswear include sharp stylish outerwear, dresses, suits, and other clothes items. Womenswear collection consists of cocktail dresses decorated with oversize brooches and voluminous details. The shapes are lush but fabrics are flowing. The voluminous shoulders and skirts contrast with sharp lines in clothes and footwear. The dark colors and faded prints go along bright pops of red, fuchsia, and yellow.

Menswear collection also features wide brim hats, shades of gray, loose-fitting trousers and velvet jackets, streamlined outerwear and suits. The black and gray prevail in the collection but the browns, yellow and deep red also appear in the menswear.

The ad campaign is chic and funny, the models demonstrate some of the outfits from both collections. Lanvin’s creative director Alber Elbaz has also appeared in the video advert wearing one of the menswear collection’s outfits dancing with the male models and sort of pushing them back.

We see the Gibson girl with her hair piled high, the flapper girl form the twenties, patiot girls dressed in military and camouflage prints, the screen siren in likes of Kim Besinger and lots of other pictures telling about how it was and how it looks with a modern twist.

She told WWD:

I think it’s a very contemporary approach. The other issue with celebrities is that they are characters who are often associated with a certain film. I prefer a strong, generic face that’s not related to any world – whether that be music or Hollywood.”

Frida has already invited Raquel Zimmermann to be the face for the Autumn/ Winter 2010/11 adverts and considers her decision to be right.

The same opinion about the issue has Yves Saint Laurent’s director Stefano Pilati. He says models have the necessary experience and expertise to do campaigns.

He said:

Actresses are fantastic, but they’re not models and it’s not easy. What I need to focus on is an attitude, and this comes from a great, experienced model. Actresses have an attitude, but will never be the fashion attitude. To me, fashion photography is with a model; otherwise, it’s a portrait.”

Even Karl Lagerfeld agrees that models can give the right look to the label.

He said:

Why? Because I love them: They have the right look and class.”

And now when we see the ad picture for this collection we again can’t make ourselves silent. The photo is shocking…

Raquel Zimmermann looks so calm lying on a few colorful snakes. Of course, I understand that the reptiles are innatural but still even the view of them almost makes me scream.

Dressed fully in McQueens creations Raquel hardly looks human. And those horrible shoes on her feet… Thanks God, she doesn’t have to stand up in them!

The suit is simple but looks sophisticated, and together with the blouse it makes a good ensemble.The combination of military-style shirt, shorts, cape and socks without soles looks interesting though not practical enough for cool spring.

I like the light white frock with flounces. It is very womanly and cute.

The only thing I don’t like about these garments is their color – all pastel, no bright hues or even blacks. Monotone pallette isn’t appealing much.

The Brazilian beauty plays various roles and each is a huge success. She is a quarrelsome wife making her husband do whatever she wants, a lonely romantic girl waiting for her prince to come, a fearless female warrior, a delicate but passinate nature who loves violin and warm sunrays, a gorgeous partner of a pilot, etc. She is different but always wonderful!

Fashion is close to her as ever. She wears expensive designer clothing and this is partially what explains her charm and irresistability.

Photographer: Norman Jean Roy.

The photo shoot was made by esteemed fashion photographer Mario Testino and the result is really worth looking at.

The edition carrying Naomi on the cover spots the British-born star dressed as a Playboy bunny. She’s wearing a hot one-piece swimsuit, complete with gold cuffs and rabbit ears.

She looks absolutely amazing!

Former Wonderbra model Eva Herzigova chose a blonde wig and denim jacket to wear on her cover. She’s posing Marilyn Monroe-style and is hot as ever!

Claudia isn’t romantic or cute on her front cover – with her hair scraped back she’s showing off her flexibility with a high kick while wearing Yves Saint Laurent boots and a Louis Vuitton swimsuit.

Gisele is always perfect. This time she is wearing a black one-piece strapless swimsuit for her cover in V magazine.

Brit rock chick Kate Moss looks elegant and hot, striking a fierce pose in a Maison Martin Margiela jacket made of blonde hair and an underbust corseted girdle.

Matthew Williamson for H&M campaign girl Daria Werbowy, looks very nice wearing a Versace Spring 2009 cut-out Julie Verhoeven print swimsuit. Lovely swimsuit on a gorgeous body!

I guess the magazine has made the right choice when opted for vintage supermodels all in their thirties instead of hiring new faces.

Carmen Kass

They look as stunning as ever and will surely attract lots of those who’d like to buy the new edition.

Catherine McNeil

Inside the issue you will also find other fashion icons including Carmen Kass, Isabeli Fontana, Natalia Vodianova, an upcoming model Chanel Iman and a few hot well oiled guys to make you long for your summer vacations.
