Salvatore Ferragamo F/W 11.12: Daria Werbowy and Mathias Lauridsen
Sleek, sophisticated and seductive are the words that sum up Salvatore Ferragamo fall/winter colection, where the designer opted for a masculine/feminine play on silhouette, with subtle 80s references and a chiaroscuro palette of black, white and shades of grey. Daria Werbowy and Mathias Lauridsen are Boardroom vixens in a alluring mostly black and white ads.
Ferragamo ‘pops-up’ at Dover Street
London’s Dover Street Market has firmly established itself as the epicentre of cool in the capitals’ West End. So no wonder Salvatore Ferragamo, hot on the couture heels of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, have decided to launch an exclusive collection at the fashion market, arriving on 19 July.
The collection, Ferragamo Creations, is inspired by the Italian fashion house’s 80-year old archive – Salvatore himself was originally a shoe designer to Hollywood glitterati such as Ava Gardner in the 1920s before returning to Italy to launch his company. It’s no wonder then that the collection includes their “F” wedges (Ferragamo is credited with inventing the wedge) and designs re-worked from those originally created for his Hollywood clients.
This is a real opportunity to get collectables from a style visionary into your wardrobe, but practically ‘objets d’art’ you’ll more than likely want to hang them up as much as wear them.
Supermodels are back!
I had been waiting for one of the big fashion publications to fully address what many fashion fans have known for a while that the supermodel has returned... big time! WWD have led with a mother of an article today discussing the renewed appeal of some of our favourite '90s cover girls, thanks to some pretty massive ad campaigns of late - Claudia for Chanel and Salvatore Ferragamo, Linda for Prada, Naomi for YSL, Christy for Escada, and everyone for Louis Vuitton. They might have seemed done and dusted, but over a decade later they're still banking the big cheques.
"At the end of the Nineties, there was a [supermodel] overdose and people wanted to see actresses, but maybe the fact that actresses don't really have a real relationship with fashion is driving [their return]," said Didier Fernandez of DNA Models, who reps for Evangelista, Nadja Auermann and Amber Valletta.
Perhaps we really are just fed up of seeing actresses and songstresses trying to be models. After all, Eva Mendes's recent gig with Calvin Klein doesn't seem to fanning too much excitement. Fashion is a fickle game, of course. What comes full circle, often back pedals again before taking in a whole new direction.
The latest Chanel campaign will mark Karl Lagerfeld's third consecutive with Claudia Schiffer. So why, when he could have anyone he wants, does Karl keep going back?
"Time makes them sometimes even more interesting," he said. "I work with them because they are great and right even for this moment. They are still young women with nice faces and great personal, modern style. They are, and stay, irreplaceable."
'Irreplaceable' certainly seems like a fitting description for the supermodel of today. So this just leaves one lingering question, with Marc Jacobs vowing this week not to use celebs like Victoria Beckham anymore, could we soon be seeing Cindy Crawford or Elle Macpherson on his ad books? He did it for Vuitton...
