Tom Ford covers the Holiday issue of Vogue France with model Daphne Groeneveld.  The dapper fashion designer/movie director was also the guest editor of the issue.  Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot the December 2010 cover.  Only half of Ford’s face is revealed, while Daphne is in the center of the shot.  Both are dressed in black-tie, Tom in a tuxedo and the model in elegant black.  Her makeup is extremely dramatic, the eyes are a deep smoky gray and her lips a bold red color; they only accentuated the drama of the shoot and the excitement surrounding this special December issue.

Sexy people on a car in the desert generating enough heat to scorch the sun is the one way to describe the Fall 2010 Gucci ad campaign.  Raquel Zimmermann, Joan Smalls and Nikola Jovanovic turned up the temperature for photographers Mert and Marcus.  The label understood that the only way to sell the fall collection in 100 degree weather was to simulate our current environment.  Now, if only we could all look so impossibly chic in the heat.

Eva Mendes is pin-up girl sexy on her July 2010 W magazine cover.  Her red lips and corset style halter dress brought the heat to the cover.  Photographers Mert & Marcus captured the tantalizing image that takes us back to a Caribbean island.  A wave of vivid color overtakes your senses and transports you to location.  A bit  of fall 2010 was sprinkled into the shoot, Eva’s blue and white plaid dress is from Prada’s fall collection.  The actress talks motherhood, career and those super hot Calvin Klein ads to W.  July has yet another reason onto be hot.

Lara Stone is the new face of Calvin Klein’s fall 2010 ad campaign.  We are only halfway through 2010 and the model is already having a great year.  After getting married last month, she heads the campaign for the label that ushered in the waif look in the 90′s when they signed Kate Moss.  “I conceived my fall 2010 collection with a self-aware and assured woman in mind. For me, Lara was the perfect choice for the new campaign because she is a woman who epitomizes confidence and sensuality,” says the house’s creative director Francisco Costa.  Stone has been the go-to model when it comes to the modern woman with curves.  Though the design house is not the leader in the curvy movement, this shift is noteworthy because Lara is now the face of Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein and Calvin Klein Jeans.  The campaign was shot by photographers Mert and Marcus.

DSquared2 has given us a sneak peek at the behind the scenes action of their new Fall 2010 ad campaign.   Models Chanel, Iris, Alla and male models Jordan, Tyler and Thomas star in the ad shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.  The thirty-second clip is just enough to leave you wanting to see the finished product.  It will be interesting to see what designers Dean and Dan have up their sleeves.  We can report sightings of white button-down shirts and skinny ties on the guys and Chanel dons a short wig reminiscent of the pixie cut of Mia Farrow’s in the sixties.
