90s ad campaigns
I can no longer hide my ever-growing obsession for 90s style and I kind of really have to post the fruits of the hard labour of searching for 90s ad campaigns! Most of these are by styleregistry @ LJ & you can click nearly all of these pics to find the whole campaign posted there.
First of Drew Barrymore in Miu Miu! Eek! It’s quintessential 90s FUN!
LOOK AT HER HAIR! I want to be this photo.
Prada FRTW 10
I know this is old news by now, but hey whatever. First of all, I thought my enthusiasm would soon fade for this collection but I still find myself being totally in love with the fabulous juxtaposition of the supposed ugliness (socks in heels, fabrics) with the classic and always beautiful 50s hourglass shape. Also: EYEBROW GLASSES.
I also can’t help but loving the fabulous dowdiness of the wool outfits.
The ruffles are simply awesome.
The details are by far my favourite part though.
So my conclusion is: total fabulosity. Sadly, though, I can’t help but to be really, really irked about something… The use of supposed plus-sized models. When I first looked at this collection I HAD NO IDEA. Meg from good morning midnight had to point this out. So yeah, supposed plus-sized models are quite en vogue now. But what really really INTENSELY bothers me about Miuccia Prada’s use of Lara Stone and other “bigger” models is that during that same time Prade got what she wanted when she stomped her feet and claimed she couldn’t design for bigger people for an opera production. Ugh, juxtaposition of ugliness with beauty returns: such pretty clothes she makes, such a terrible person she seems.
Also, speaking of Prada, I think I’m incredibly disppointed at Miu Miu this fall :(. Maybe I just need time. Hopefully!
