The relationship between Dolce & Gabanna and Steven Meisel continues to go from strength to strength, and you’ve been missing out (big style) if you weren’t aware the Italian designers had began to recommission the master photographer to lens their advertising campaign imagery. The return to glory first started mid-2023 when Mariacarla Boscono became the face of D&G’s Summer 2023 collection and the party continued into the Fall 2023 season with a sultry Maya Jama posing for Meisel. Much to our delight, Meisel and stylist Karl Templer remain onboard for Pre-Spring 2024, with Lulu Tenney (in addition to male models Yoesry Detre, Xu Meen and Habib Masovic) coming along for the ride throughout the series of flawless studio-shot campaign imagery.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Stellar!! Meisel is bringing his A game for Dolce & Gabbana and I’m all here for it,” raved aracic.

“This is beyond good. Lulu has transformed into one of the most capable models of her generation,” forum member youarearockstar instantly approved.

Sharing the same enthusiasm was fenty: “Lulu is FAB and she’s selling it!”

“This campaign is amazing!! Lulu really nailed it,” applauded couturefan.

Vogue28 was also full of praise, adding: “Divine, absolutely divine campaign. Never been a one to rave about Lulu Tenney but she is selling it here like there’s no tomorrow So bright, vibrant, polished, glossy, glamorous – I could go on and on!”

“Meisel + D&G = Perfection,” calculated an elated lanvinray.

It’s official: David Sims is a firm fave of Sabato De Sarno. From the get-go, Gucci’s newly-instated creative director has insisted the brand’s studio-designed Fall 2023 collection be documented by Sims (showcased by model Vittoria Ceretti in the campaign) and called upon the celebrated British photographer for the Italian fashion house’s buzz-worthy jewelry campaign starring comeback queen Daria Werbowy.

De Sarno summons Sims once again with the unveiling of the Italian designer’s first official mainline advertising campaign for the Spring 2024 season, ushering in a whole new look for the brand first established in 1921. Wiping the slate clean for a new creative vision, a selection of models assemble within Sims’ photographic studio against a clean white backdrop. Complete with styling from Alastair McKimm, the fresh faces include Fadia Ghaab, Ana Rossolovich, Jiahui Zhang, Nyajuok Gatdet and Violet Hume.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s a lifeless campaign from the backdrop to the group chemistry of the models. Super disappointing after such a promising start with the Daria Werbowy campaign,” said GERGIN.

“It’s clearly an attempt to reference the Fall 2004 Gucci ad but fails miserably to deliver anything,” voiced an underwhelmed grimm.

Also unimpressed was forum member tatouejeremie, adding: “A logo hoodie in a campaign in 2024? Must be a dire situation at Gucci!”

“The models have no energy, the clothes are bland, the setting is non existent and the photography is lazy,” complained GivenchyAddict.

In complete agreement was Marc10: “This collection desperately needed a strong, dynamic campaign with a star model to help elevate the clothes and create some sort of fantasy and desire. A white backdrop with bland new faces was literally the worst way to go. Terrible.”

Lookatme described the outcome as “abysmal” but do you agree?

Chanel is commencing the new year by ushering in a vibrant, youthful and unapologetically joyful advertising campaign for its line of Chance fragrances. Back in 2015, the fabled French fashion house’s previous Chance campaign invited us into a fantasy-filled bowling alley (as imagined by famed French creative Jean-Paul Goude). We witnessed a jubilant dance audition via the lens of Goude also for the 2019 installment and make no mistake we’re back amongst the fun for 2024.

This time, however, Chanel opted to commission the renowned French film director Jean-Pierre Jeunet for the dazzling funfair-inspired commercial, in addition to hiring Steven Meisel to capture the accompanying print campaign. Amiah Miller, Zuza Bryk, Mathilda Gvarliani and Maty Fall embody the four Chanel Chance fragrances for the occasion, each sat perched atop giant oversized bottles of the scent and dressed in looks evoking the spirit of the brand during the 90s.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Looks like Anna Sui by Meisel,” voiced Scotty.

Avonlea002 agreed, echoing: “Yikes, indeed very Anna Sui. The retouching is absurd. Their legs looks like sausages.”

Yet not everyone was left so underwhelmed. “Love the print campaign, it is fun and fashionable. Great, fresh casting too,” approved MModa.

“Steven Meisel’s print campaign imagery feels like a total breath of fresh air! I love how fresh, vibrant, youthful and playful the images themselves are. Also adore the styling with those 90s-inspired cropped jackets and how each look complements the Chance bottle – very nicely done. Maty Fall’s smile here is a delight,” raved forum member vogue28.

“Fun campaign,” admired couturefan.

There’s very few fashion houses which are so synonymous with glamour and sophistication nowadays, with the firm exception of Ralph Lauren. Subsequent to the all-American designer founding his namesake label back in 1967, we’ve been sold a whole lifestyle as opposed to just… clothes. Little has changed, even in 2023, and the brand’s Holiday 2023 advertising campaign has proved to be nothing short of spectacular. Giving us pure unapologetic festive holiday glamour, with endless amounts of sophistication, the campaign is a lesson in glamorous holiday dressing. Photographed by Steven Pan, a selection of models including Akon Changkou, Amrit, Caroline Trentini, Felice Nova Noordhoff, Chloe Oh, Vivienne Rohner, Juhyung Kan and Charles Oduro to name just a few, assemble within Pan’s photographic studio for the occasion, each dripping in their Ralph Lauren finery.

Needless to say, the campaign proved to be an instant hit amongst members of our forums. “Very sophisticated,” Urban Stylin admired.

“Flawless. Absolutely flawless. A splendid holiday campaign, which just oozes luxury, style and glamour. Ralph Lauren is one of those few brands in which I could just be completely immersed. I could dress in head-to-toe Ralph Lauren forever, decorate using Ralph Lauren Home from floor-to-ceiling, live inside the campaigns/catalogues – the whole enchilada,” raved vogue28.

“Caroline!” exclaimed GoldenPetals, immediately approving of the casting.

As creative director of Givenchy, Matthew M. Williams has experimented with an array of different photographers to capture his vision for the storied French fashion house. Campaigns since his debut collection for Spring 2021 have predominately been captured by Heji Shin, with Williams also commissioning photographers such as Thibaut Grevet, Nick Knight and now champions Tyler Mitchell with the unveiling of the brand’s Holiday 2023 campaign. Williams endorses models Amelia Grey and Kit Butler as the faces of Givenchy’s festive new collection, which builds on silhouettes first shown on the runway during Paris Fashion Week. Givenchy’s staple Antigona handbag is featured throughout, in addition to unique variations of the iconic Sharklock boots.

“Did someone just discover Irving Penn’s corner portraits?” asked blueorchid upon checking out the campaign imagery.

“These are grim. And Amelia looks as if she’s just smelt something bad in nearly all the shots, although she kind of looks like that anyway in general so no hope trying to change that,” voiced Cocteau Stone.

Also majorly underwhelmed was 90sFan, critiquing: “Not sure who gets a prize for the most boring of the ingredients in this: Max Pearmain as stylist (yaaaawn) or Tyler Mitchell (BOOOOORINNNNNGGGGG)!”

“Love Kit Butler but don’t understand Amelia Grey’s appeal,” chimed in FAdS.

Yet not everyone was left so disenchanted by the end result. “It’s utterly devoid of any sense of joy and festivity, but I somehow don’t loathe this much as I should,” confessed vogue28.

“I love the mood of the campaign and both models look great,” WAVES expressed.

Back in April, Louis Vuitton introduced us to a new advertising series entitled Horizons Never End, in a homepage to the Horizon collection designed by Marc Newson. The first outing saw the storied French fashion house embrace Lionel Messi, Jackson Wang and Gisele Bündchen as the faces of the monogrammed luggage pieces, each captured around different locations across the globe. In the latest installment to the on-going series, Vuitton welcomes us aboard a train as it ventures into the the mountainous region of Switzerland – and model Fei Fei Sun joins us on the ride. Captured by Glen Luchford and with Emmanuelle Alt on styling duties, we’re able to bare witness to the majestic scenery throughout the campaign, as we traverse through snow-covered mountains (with an array of Louis Vuitton luggage in tow, of course).

What did members of theFashionSpot forums think of the campaign, you ask? “I love it! The train shots are superb,” raved Ihhbl.

“That’s the train to the Jungfrau glacier in Grindelwald, Switzerland. All I can think how much they must have paid to get those shots. It’s normally packed with tourists,” pointed out swizzi.

“These are beautiful,” ivano admired.

Vogue28 commented: “The train setting immediately took me back to Eva Herzigova’s fierce campaign for Fall 2002 by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott! This is different in stark comparison but I’m a fan, nonetheless. Always a pleasure to see Fei Fei Sun and that setting is just wonderful…”

Make no mistake that Emma Corrin is a firm fave is Miuccia Prada. Ever since the iconic Italian designer fixed her gaze upon the British actor, they’ve been fast-tracked as the face of Mrs. Prada’s namesake fashion label Miu Miu (on umpteen occasions) and even closed Miu Miu’s Fall 2023 runway showcase during Paris Fashion Week as per Miuccia’s request. To absolutely no one’s amazement, Corrin now makes an appearance in the brand’s Holiday 2023 advertising campaign. Throughout the series of images lensed by Zoë Ghertner and styled by Lotta Volkova, the actor perhaps best known for her tole as Princess Diana in Netflix’s The Crown totes the brand’s signature Aradie and Wander handbags, posing in a room lined with antique furniture and plush carpets.

A sense of intimacy, elegance and charm. Cultivated dress codes redrawn for the here and now. An expression of beauty reconsidered for the many facets of life today. Starring actor Emma Corrin, Miu Miu Holiday occupies a home, a private space, open to infinite possibilities and interpretation.

The mood is refined: an eased opulence and languor prevails in a filmic environment familiar to the person who inhabits it, who is cultured and confident – comfortable in their own skin. Backdropped by soft carpet and framed by precious antiques belonging to a distant place and time, the wardrobe is similarly layered – meaningful. Fluid black cady, shearling, tactile tweeds, sparkling organza embellished with crystal evoke archetypically sophisticated dress codes, their significance renewed.

Glossed leathers, soft cashmere and jersey afford freedom of movement and effortless allure. Prototypical garments are remixed. Incarnations of glamour and elegance past enrich and inform, always with the present and future in mind. Miu Miu collaborated with Marshall to create a joint line of their iconic products and with Polaroid for cameras complete with branded web camera straps.

Since joining Ferragamo as creative director, Maximilian Davis has experimented with a handful of different photographers to capture his vision for the Italian fashion label. Davis’ first campaign for Spring 2023 saw Jackie Nickerson commissioned to capture his debut and much-celebrated collection, followed up with a series of Rafael Pavarotti-shot imagery. Both of the Pre-Fall 2023 and Fall 2023 campaigns went to Tyler Mitchell, as the British designer welcomes back Pavarotti for the Holiday 2023 season. The Brazilian photographer captures models Aymeline Valade, Ying Ouyang and Malick Bodian against a backdrop of historic Florence landmarks, as reimagined by artist Paolo Ventura. The campaign is complete with styling from Ib Kamara and creative direction from Ferdinando Verderi.

Ultimately, the end result left a whole lot to be desired by members of theFashionSpot forums. “It’s a nice concept but I hate the result. It’s bland and boring,” Royal-Galliano critiqued.

“Awful. What else is there to expect from Kamara and Verderi?” quipped MagFan.

Vogue28 wasn’t into it either, commenting: “A truly atrocious concept. Absolutely loathe the whole cut and paste effect. Maximilian Davis’ Ferragamo collections have been so chic and utterly immaculate but his campaigns for Ferragamo have been a massive FLOP. The first shot of Aymeline Valade is the only image I’m able to tolerate here.”

“I actually like this,” Urban Stylin reasoned. “Pavarotti’s photography seems a lot better here than with the usual filters. Aymeline stands out!”

This time of year, all we crave is festive glamour. Throughout the cheery and joyful holiday season, we’ve become extremely reliant on the advertising campaigns of every major fashion brand (as well as the covers of our fave fashion glossies) in bestowing upon us all our holiday inspo requirements. Give it up to Giorgio Armani who receives the memo loud and clear – again.

Subsequent to last year’s glitzy and über-glamorous campaign starring Valentino Sampaio, Giorgio Armani’s offering for 2023’s holiday season is simply just as dazzling and divine. The Italian designer selects Beauise Ferwerda as the face and embodiment of his latest advertising campaign, ending the year for his namesake fashion empire on a creative high. Via the lens of photographer Elizaveta Porodina, the Dutch beauty who made her runway debut during the Fall 2022 season (for Alaïa), is joined by male models Xavier Serrano and Diogo Gomes throughout the series of campaign images which are guaranteed to get you in the festive holiday spirit.

Members of our forums were left in awe upon checking out the campaign. “The photographs look festive and are beautiful but not in a literal way. I am a fan! The side shot of Beauise is my favorite from the set,” admired MModa.

“The more I see this campaign, the more I fall completely in love with it – it’s divine. I’ve come to expect nothing less from Giorgio Armani in all honesty but with the total lack of festive glamour (thus far) in 2023, makes me appreciate the outcome of this tremendously. Festive but in the most fashion-forward way possible. Each of the images would make flawless magazine covers,” raved vogue28.
