Romance

This has to be my favourite campaign of all time. 'Romance' by Ralph Lauren (2007) definitely caught my eye and still to this day the ad captures the beauty and intensity of love.

The perfume itself is very subtle with a delicate flory scent. the packaging is very simple but sophisticated, very Ralph Lauren. Still to this day this is very memorable ad as I think it captures the differences in what men and women think of romance is.

Women's Ad for Ralph Lauren

In the campaigns the photography is black and white showing the intimacy caught between these two people:

"They stood facing each other. Neither spoke. He reached up with his strong, capable hands and slid her crisp, white blouse off her shoulders and down her arms, binding her wrists delicately behind her. His fingertips traced their way back up her arms. He took her gently by the shoulders and pressed his forehead to hers. She looked down, her eyes gazing first at his chest, then down past his rippling stomach, to where his tanned, supple skin contrasted against the white of his jeans. She closed her eyes, afraid that the moment might vanish, but the warmth of his breath on her soft eyelids told her that this moment — this man — was indeed real.

Her haltered top restrained her heaving bosom but it could barely contain her beating heart. She leaned into him, arching her back slightly to maintain contact. He reached up and lifted her chin. She almost couldn't bear to look at his face for fear losing herself forever in his deep brown eyes. He slid his hand onto the back of her neck and pulled her softly, gently, toward him…pausing just as their lips were about to touch.

“I will love you forever,” he whispered as the rest of her world melted away. "

A very sensual and touching scene setted easily sweeping a girl off their sweep to their prince charming.

Men's Ad for Ralph Lauren:

Although this is black-and-white, the tones are used to be much darker in the photo. With the hair flying and a more blurred picture of the man and woman; it is sure that this is an action shot of the passion involved these two people. The woman's face is so longer visible, but this is doesn't really matter as it is suppose to be appealing to the man.
And yes his shows that the man is very much in command of the situation:

"He grabbed her roughly and spun her around, pulling her toward him and thrusting his tongue into her mouth."

As you can tell a much more hot and steamy atmosphere is conveyed.

Two completing different perspectives on Romance, but both are very appealing!

Cinderella's Diet

Young, poor and snotty

Couture Cuisine

I love the irony of this picture. Which is essentially the point.

I think Karl Lagerfeld is awesome. He definitely had balls to say that about the certain topic in public and be quoted. Most people would take this the wrong way and start talking trash about him.

He has always said he is the most superficial man in the world but who cares when he is a fashion mastermind.

Canopy Choirs

Canopy Choirs are a new 5 piece experimental band from Sydney. They have just started to playing together, thrown a few demos together and writing songs which create an indie alternative sound which is definitely worth a listen.

They have just landed their first gig at World Bar April 9Th and I will definitely be there as song 'Closed Curtain' as got me intrigued for more!

Definitely hit up their page for their chilled yet innovative and fresh tune. I hope they put more songs up soon!

My Wedding Dress

Found this photo on http://www.wetbehindthears.com/ and it is immaculate.

The structural layout of the dress emphasises how modern but such a classic style the wedding dress is. The photographer definitely catches the beauty and sophistication of the lady and the dress. I love how it is so girly with fantastic detailing with fabrics and attention to detail.

Any lady would be amazing in this dress on her special day.

Dream Boots

When I first saw these I literally jaw dropped.

These are from the Maurie and Eve Collection, perfect to
go with any winter outfit or even a girly summer dress to grunge things up a bit for an edgier look.

The sexy ladylike biker boots are definately into trend this season with lookalikes seen on catwalks such as Balenciaga and Sam Edelman.


These are definately going on my wishlist.

Jungle Fever

This was the first Nathan Jenden Collection after leaving DVF recently, but with the support still there as DVF herself sat front row and centre.

This Fall Collection was inspired by "church ladies in the jungle" Jenden explains.
His key word used "constructed" was relevant as the jackets tailoring and pencil skirts were kept simple, with edgy touches of zebra, leopard and hyper prints were present and added the final signature touches to the collection.

Many ruffles pieces were mixed with high electric colours and strong grey cuts creating experimental sculptures, geometric patterns with touches of femininity.

Some of my favourite artistic looks

The Year of the Tiger

Yes it is the chinese year of the tiger, but also a new brand called Tighttigers has just released its first collection of their women's clothing line. It will be released in April bringing new alternative pieces to the modern urban jungle world of fashion.

Many graphic, bold print statements and colourful sequins are used to make any capes, hoodies and tights uber styish with a funky energetic photoshoot to go along with their youthful and attitude trend.

The Out of the Cage Winter 2010 Collection is cast to be a hit for the electric futuristic look of fashion as they set to take 'world domination'.


These are some of my favourite picks from their collection:
