Fashion Saved My Life

When you’re flipping through your fashion magazines (yes, some people still read the actual magazines) this year, take a moment to feel better about yourself because you knew what was coming.

At least as far as the ads go. No doubt you’ve already seen or heard about the Katie Holmes for Miu Miu ads, and here’s a listing of some more of the fashion ads you’ll be seeing to promote S/S 09.

Raquel Zimmerman for Oscar de la Renta: Raquel brings her sexiness to the sophisticated world of Oscar, red lips and all.

Scarlett Johansson for D&G makeup: Scarlett wears a lot of Dolce and Gabbana on the red carpet, and now she’s the face of their new beauty launch. Expect lots of pin up shots, which isn’t really anything new, but who doesn’t want a fresh face like Scarlett’s?

Stephanie Seymour for Valentino: The return of the 1990s models is still going strong, and Stephanie Seymour looks majestically beautiful in these black and white Valentino ads.

Kate Moss and Sasha Pivovarova for Longchamp: This is one of my favorite ad campaigns, and previews have been circulating online for a while. The ads are brightly colored and look almost like a stylized comic book. It’s a pretty sharp change from the moodier shots that featured only Kate, but still, it’s hard to focus on just those famous bags.

Jerry Hall for Chanel: This one’s a little weird, but so’s Karl. Jerry’s supposed to play a cougar going after some hot young thing in a handbag ad inspired by the novel Chéri.

Iselin Steiro for Lanvin: Steven Meisel shot this ad, so you know it’s got to be gorgeous. Norwegian model Iselin Steiro has already posed for Mulberry and Missoni, but the Lanvin ads may earn her more attention.
