Dakota Fanning for Marc Jacobs
Dakota Fanning’s campaign for Marc Jacob’s fragrance ‘Oh, Lola!’ has been released and the results are divine! The enchanting 17-year-old was shot by Juergen Teller for the campaign, which sees her channel the 1962 film ‘Lolita’.
Of making Fanning the face of ‘Oh, Lola!’, Marc Jacobs said: “When we were speaking about who to use in the ads, I had recently seen ‘The Runaways’…I knew she could be this contemporary Lolita, seductive yet sweet.”

Tom Ford & Lara Stone For Tom Ford
Tom Ford’s new make-up collection campaign has been released and features the designer himself alongside the sexy Lara Stone. Photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggot, the campaign highlights striking high-impact looks and intense make-up colour.
Of putting himself in frame, Ford has said: “I’m not in the ads because I’m vain. A lot of people still don’t know who I am and the product sells better with me in the ads. The old designers — Yves [Saint Laurent], Giorgio [Armani] and Ralph [Lauren] — occasionally used to do it.”

Gucci Spring / Summer 2011
Opening with an electric bolt of colour (in the form of an orange blazer, violet strapless top, gold belt and green trousers); Gucci’s S/S11 collection saw a return to high voltage glamour. The collection exuded a spirit reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent.“I pushed the accelerator on the provocation“, said Frida Giannini of the collection.
Splitting the collection into three distinct segments, it featured jewel colour combinations, camel and black before finishing with bright tribal inspired cocktail dresses. Dresses were woven with leather while jewels and feathers added a spectacular dash of detailing. It was glamorous tribal energy at its best! Dark orange, gold, emerald and black made for an impressive ending statement to the collection.
