Chanel Breaks Through Clutter With Brad Pitt as New Face of No. 5

admin — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:09:02 +0000

Luxury fashion house Chanel confirmed yesterday that Moneyball star Brad Pitt would be the new representative for Chanel No. 5.

Past models for the famous women’s fragrance have included movie stars Nicole Kidman, Audrey Tautou, and Vanessa Paradis. But a man?

Though the decision marks a break from tradition, it’s in keeping with Chanel’s long-running ad campaign in that it not only trades on Pitt’s unimpeachable seductiveness (twice confirmed by People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive cover), but also brings to mind his equally glamorous partner, Angelina Jolie. In part, “this is a way of saying Angelina Jolie without saying Angelina Jolie,” says William M. O’Barr, professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University and author of ADText, an online textbook about advertising and society. “What’s true about Chanel spokespeople is they are people with classic beauty, and I think this is Brad Pitt’s charm here.”

Fendi S/S 2012 Collection

admin — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:50:15 +0000

Quick Take: This Spring/Summer 2012 season, Fendi debuts a sun and optical collection that embodies the timeless and iconic design elements synonymous with the luxurious fashion house.
Specifics: Four new optical styles and four new sun styles.
Design Points: The double “F” logo is inlayed onto rich zyl in unique forms, whether on end pieces or repeating, layered onto triple laminate temples. Color blocking highlights frame shapes that are skillfully crafted from both custom zyl and polished metal. Sleek and unexpected, Fendi pushes expectations and reinterprets the Fendi “F” to create innovative temples, re-emphasizing the fashion forward philosophy of the legendary brand. For sun, the FS5257, inspired by the Fendi “Mia” handbag, is made of plastic in a cat-eye shape with the Fendi interlocking double “F” logo is inlayed onto end pieces underneath a distinctive brow that extends towards temples. Featured in the S/S 2012 Fendi ad campaign, the FS5261 is inspired by the RTW Cruise collection with strategic color blocking that highlights the curves of the modified, slightly rounded, cat-eye frame. Smooth zyl lines and metal corners describe the modern FS5211 where the Fendi double “F” pattern is discreetly hidden in custom double laminate zyl. Lastly, the FS5226 reinvents the square frame with metal corner accents on a molded polished metal frame. In ophthalmics, the F977 and F960 feature elongated classic elements in a contemporary, sleek style. The F968 integrates the iconic Fendi logos prominently on the frame fronts in an uplifting cat-eye shape. Finally, the F973 features the Fendi double “F” logo inlayed onto the temples in a classic square shape.

The Spirit collection showcases Lindberg’s competency in rimless design concepts. With more than 300 different lens shapes, more than 50 different colors and finishes, as well as more than 25 different components, Spirit offers countless combination possibilities.
