Well I have only started the Elle and Vogue issues, but I am very impressed and surprised. In Elle one of the first ads to catch my eye was the Dolce and Gabbana spread. It looks so similar to an abbey I had visited while I was in Italy. Could it be the same one? Who knows, I did visit the site where their fragrance campaign was shoot while I was in Capri. I loved Tilda Swunton for Pomellato. Her androgynous look is captivating and has such a unique sex appeal.
The Chanel and Burberry ads were both substantially longer in Vogue than in Elle. I was very surprised at the Nordstrom ad, which was printed on a thicker, almost card stock type paper and lasted twelve pages. Nordstrom typically does longer ads but this one had an almost Marc Jacobs look to it, with larger white borders and playful snapshots of designer clothes and accessories. The companies Piperlime and Net-a-porter had very appealing ads. I personally have loved these companies for a while but never have seen them advertised in this way. It’s a new movement, high class advertising of sites that sell cheaper designer goods. Well, off to dinner and more reading to resume later.
After dinner my friends and I headed out for an impromptu shopping trip followed by a movie night. It's so refreshing to be surrounded by people who share the same passions, yet are still unique in themselves. xoxo
