The Best S/S 15 Advertising Campaigns

With Ad Campaigns shot by the best fashion photographers: Mario Testino, Mert & Marcus, Peter Lindbergh, Craig McDean and Steven Meisel, to name but a few, this seasons advertising campaigns are an exciting vision of some of the top fashion brands latest collections. The designers showcase their collections using the most sought-after models: Sasha Pivovarova, Natasha Poly, Gemma Ward, Jourdan Dunn, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kendall Jenner, Jessica Stam, Joan Smalls and Gisele Bündchen. Here is a look at my favourite SS15 Campaigns...these are not all necessarily from my favourite runway shows but I love the concepts for the campaigns.

Spring 15 Couture

This week the Spring 15 Couture shows took place in Paris. Words can't even express just how breathtaking some of the gowns were. Each season we look to the Couture shows to see what delights the designers have created. I also like to try and second guess which gowns will be worn at the Academy Awards and Met Gala. Here is an overview of all the mains shows.

Chanel

Christian Dior

Armani Prive

Elie Saab

Versace

Giambattista Valli

Ralph and Russo

Jean Paul Gaultier

Ulyana Sergeenko

Zuhair Murad

Alexis Mabille

Laurence Xu

Valentino

Tony Ward

Alexandre Vauthier

As always with couture, we see a lot of the same colour palettes - classic soft pastels and blush tones. An injection of colour and print is always welcome. My favourite overall collection this season - Ralph and Russo.

Red Carpet Predictions

I would love to see Taylor Swift wearing the final look from the Zuhair Murad collection. Kate Hudson, Rihanna and Alessandra Ambrosio would look great wearing anything from the Versace or Alexandre Vauthier collections. I also predict that Cate Blanchett will wear a couple of looks from the Armani Prive collection, perfectly complimenting her classic red carpet style. I also think Marion Cotillard will make a few red carpet appearances wearing the Christian Dior collection. The yellow dress with striped skirt would suit her perfectly.

I hope my last 2 blog posts have inspired you and given you lots of ideas as to what you will want to wear during the Pre Fall 15 season. What do you make of all the Pre Fall 15 prints? Have you seen any garments which you are already coveting?

If you love runway fashion then make sure to check back in with my blog later this week, I will be posting a review of the Spring 15 Couture shows currently taking place in Paris.

The Best of Pre Fall 15 - Part 1

Working in a design studio, the Pre Fall 15 collections have been keeping me busy at work since December. Now that the majority of designers have shown their collections, I have selected my favourites and I will be showing you my selection in 2 blog posts. With over 150 collections, yes there really were that many, I certainly had plenty to choose from. Don't forget to follow my 'Runway Favourites' board on Pinterest, where you can see a very extensive look at all the Pre Fall 15 collections. You can find me at 'phillippadesign'.
