The latest advertising campaigns from major fashion houses have started appearing on the web and February magazines, here’s what we’ve got to say about them.
Firstly – Yves Saint Laurent by Inez & Vinoodh (above). In a surprise move, the model this season is not a supermodel or veteran but a relatively new name Arizona Muse, best known for opening and closing Prada Summer Spring fashion trends 2012 and being on the cover of Vogue Italia January.
The entire crew flew over to Morocco to shoot the campaign, in the gardens of Bled Roknine, a Thirties-style villa in Marrakech. The Moroccan theme comes from the fact that the late designer has bought a garden also located in Marrakech, with his partner, Pierre Bergé, in 1980.
Also shot in a garden – the Chanel campaign with Stella Tennant and Freja Beha by Karl Lagerfeld. This is Freja’s fourth consecutive starring role in a Chanel main line campaign, and again Baptiste Giabiconi is inside. But it’s refreshing to see the models smiling in the campaign.

I was hired to be in the backround, and this has opened allot of doors for me with some special people. If my hand makes it in the campaign im happy!! The photos look amazing!!. Kinda cute, no?

With Vogue UK and Nippon already churning out March issues, most of the Spring/Summer fashion trends 2012 campaigns from major fashion houses have been unveiled, and here let’s take a look at some of them starting from Marc by Marc Jacobs, which is shot by Jurgen Teller as usual, starring Ginta Lapina, model of the moment – the very androgynous Andre Pejic and Jaco Van Den Hoven. Andre recently closed the Jean Paul Gaultier couture show as the finale bride and now he is already bagging campaigns! Shows that designers’ infatuation with gender-bending is going strong.
Also shot by Juergen Teller is the Celine campaign featuring Daria Werbowy and Stella Tennant. Unlike the last two season, the S/S fashion trends 2012 campaign veered towards a slightly more youthful vibe with skateboards and poker card.
