I first guessed that Kate Moss was to become the face of Donna Karan’s Spring 2008 campaign when I saw paparazzi shots of her wearing Donna’s clothes for a photo shoot.

Now we have the full campaign which were shot in LA, but looking at the pictures you would think they were shot in Cuba as they have a festive and flamboyant Havana nights theme.

The campaign breaks in fashion and lifestyle books in February.

Christy Turlington continues to get the big campaigns. She looks like a new fresh face model, as she fronts this Escada’s Spring 2008 campaign.

She should be an inspiration to us all.

Victoria Beckham and Kirsten Dunst were both front row at Karl Largerfeld’s Chanel Spring 2008 fashion show in Paris last month. Unfortunately for them Claudia Schiffer was chosen as the face of Chanel’s Spring 2008 advertising campaign.

Neither should be sad because Victoria Beckham has been confirmed at the new face of Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 campaign. Past Jacobs’ faces have been Dakota Fanning and Meg White.

Kirsten is the new face of Miu Miu’s Spring 2008 campaign. Past Miu Miu faces have included Selma Blair, Kim Basinger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Lindsay Lohan (who’s campaign I hated).


Victoria has already worn Marc Jacobs spring designs on the red carpet recently to the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show.

Looking at both collections I feel Miu Miu chosen a perfect brand ambassador, whereas as much as I love Victoria I feel she may have been picked for Marc Jacobs campaign more for publicity rather than suitability for the brand.

Back in July, Gucci announced that Drew Barrymore would become the first ever face of their brand.

She was photographed for the fine jewelry line in a Paris studio, and the advertisements portray her laying sensually on a golden beach dripping with spectacular jewelry.

I hardly recognised the usually goofy Drew Barrymore in these pictures, but I love them. She looks warm, sexy and sensual.

Model and charity campaigner Petra Nemcova, is the new face for La Senza lingerie – think cheap Victoria Secrets.

These pictures from the raunchy new ad campaign show off the sexy lingerie, but in most of the pictures, Petra is hardly recognisable.


Petra is so badly airbrushed that she looks more like a smoothed out version of the Bride of Frankenstein.

This is the latest commercial for UK fashion retailer Marks & Spencer to promote its autumn women’s wear collection.

The ad features it usual stars Twiggy, Laura Bailey, Noemie Renoir (from Rush Hour 3 with hair) and model Erin O’Connor boarding the Orient Express.

The campaign shows the models wearing items from the new collection, including lingerie and accessories, in a number of luxurious settings, including the train’s corridors and dining car.

The Orient Express was chosen to appear in the ad to reflect the retailer’s new range, in which the emphasis is on sensual, sumptuous fabrics from satin and velvet to rich wools and silks.

The TV spot closes on a shot of the women in a boat on one of Venice’s canals, with a song by The Charioteers, “Look-a-There, Ain’t She Pretty?”

I would have to say yes, they are all indeed very pretty.

Great ad.

Keds announced today that it has extended its global relationship with Mischa Barton. She will continue to be their spokesperson through Summer 2008.

There will be a new tagline for the Spring 2008 campaign, so they will lose the naff “Be Cool” tagline.

Personally I think it is impossible to look cool in such horrible shoes, but Mischa pulls it off.

Mischa should consider modeling full-time.
