I just don't see that M.I.A. phenomenon.

 

[youarearockstar]

^^Where was this rumored? Personally I think MIA certainly fits the MxMJ aesthetic, but I'm not sure if she's exactly right for this collection.

If this is actually the casting, its kind of true to form though for Marc. Especially considering that in her song 'Bird Flu' MIA says that she was too short to be a Roc-a-Wear model. Always the jokester.

 

[MissAnia]

I read about it few pages back in this thread .

 

[youarearockstar]

^Thanks, I obviously missed that page. Personally, I'll believe it when I see it, but it would seem more probable if the collection wasn't so intrinsically opposite of MIA's 80s Rave phase at the moment.

I do hope Rainforest project will have a campaign! And M.I.A would rock Marc by Marc Jacobs to death!

LARS' VIEW: Lars Nilsson may be settling into the pilot's seat at Gianfranco Ferré, but he still wanted to show his vision for the fashion house so he planned a transitional ad campaign. Though the ensemble — a sharply tailored blazer cut close to the body over a silk blouse and high-waisted, wide-legged pants — was part of the spring collection, designed by the late designer and his assistant, Liborio Capizzi — the mood was imparted by Nilsson. David Sims shot the black-and-white image, featuring model Freja Beha Erichsen, in New York's Milk Studios. The campaign breaks worldwide in February.

"It was important for me to show something that reflected my own aesthetic and my vision," said Nilsson. "It helps distill the strong essence of the brand while offering a clean and modern platform upon which to move forward."

Love that!!

(A new thread should probably be made for that though, since it's a big campaign)

MMA read your mind!

 

[youarearockstar]

Weird, but wasn't Egle Tvirbutaite supposed to be the only-girl in the Ferre campaign?

So does David Sims, who shot her as the only girl for next season's Gianfranco Ferré campaign

(vmag)

So either the information credits the wrong model, or there was a serious change that no one knew about.

 

[youarearockstar]

To make the Ferre campaign all the more confusing , Wayne posted this:

Then today at lunch I picked up the buzz that Karl Templer and Fabien Baron have been harnessed to remake and remodel the branding of Ferre. That certainly explains Major's Egle as shot by David Sims for the SS08 campaign. Which means you should brace yourself for a rush of glossy mag raves about the cool new Ferre taste point.

(theimagist)

This all just begs a few questions: Did the campaign suddently become multi-girl? Did WWD get their information wrong (though it certainly looks like Freja in the image)? Did the campaign get taken away from Egle?

 

[kwikspell]

I thought the Freja campaign was just a single image, not the main SS08 campaign. Wasn't the emphasis on it being something transitional, just for the new designer to show how his vision connects with the past and mark the change of designers? So maybe it's separate from the main campaign with Egle?

 

[youarearockstar]

^I assumed that 'transitional' referred more to the movement that the creative team at the Ferre was taking in order to eventually reinvent themselves. If in fact 'transitional' means some sort of non-cruise, pre-collection campaign then I can't imagine why it would begin to appear in print in February, when other houses would have already put out their actual campaigns for the season.

 

[style_expert]

I still can see Egle starring in another Sims campaign

I guess they mixed it up.

 

[mikel]

^I think so too

Agreed

Maybe Egle got GF Gianfranco Ferre, like Ali Michael did last season? If I remember correctly, it was also reported that Ali got Ferre, but it turned out to be Doutzen in the mainline ads.
