Slovakian model Zuzana Gregorova stars in Zeki Triko’s Sizzling Swimwear Ad Campaign.

This post is really far overdue. Looking back now, I really don’t understand why it took me an entire year so long to write it, because Turkish designer Ziko Başeskioğlu’s message for 2008 is simple: a bold feast of exotic colours and amazing body-conscious fits for a blissful swim. Slovakian model Zuzana Gregorova, with her fresh beauty and gorgeous curves, shows off Zeki Triko’s sizzling swim gear amidst a sleek idyllic set design complete with a perfect blue sky and clean architectural shapes. Incredibly modern yet aesthetically charming!

Danish for Joop Jewellery

Freja Beha Erichsen for Joop Spring Summer 2009 Accessories

It was strange for me to see a Danish chick and a Danish boy together doing a jewellery campaign for a German brand. What I mean is that normally German brands are very loyal, i.e. Toni Garrn for Boss and Luca Gadjus for Escada; but I guess since the Danish language is part of the Germanic family, Freja and Eddie both count as “German” in this case.

The campaign is shot by Craig McDean and I love the simplicity and the sleekness of it all.

Although there are only three images of these yummy Danish models in the accessories lookbook (all the others are close up of products), I am sold! Freja and Eddie’s mesmerising gazes just pierce right thru me and I want them and the glistening jewellery!

Bruuns Bazaar: bizarre and the best!

Carmen Kass in Bruuns Bazaar Spring Summer 2007 Ad Campaign

Robert must be mad with me. I know I would if somebody promised me they would do something and they did not. Well… I promised poor Robert that I would fill his presently depressing life with everything Bruuns Bazaar using a strings of carefully selected words about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, a few things came up, like I had to do an English exam and that I was sadly trapped in the World of the Sims 2, so that I was unable to complete most of my pre-set tasks.

Well… No more excuses. Now is the time.

Bruuns Bazaar is a Danish fashion label established in 1995 in Copenhagen by two brothers: Teis and Bjørn Bruun. The label produces womenswear, menswear, accessories and eyewear and is considered as a true pioneer of the Scandinavian fashion scene. 14 years have gone by since its establishment and today, Bruuns Bazaar has 16 stores in Europe and is sold in more than 1000 stores in 30 countries. If that does not show its success in the market, who knows?

Strenesse Gabriele Strehle Spring/Summer Collection 2008

There are not so many German designers on the international market, let alone ones that are aimed towards a younger audience. Hugo Boss is predominantly the pioneering manufacturer of finely tailored suits… and more suits; while the fashion house of Escada, founded in 1978 by Swedish model/designer Margaretha Ley and husband Wolfgang Ley, continues aiming its market at the older generation, despite the fact that the interest of reaching out to the ‘daughter’ generation had been expressed several times before. For me, Strenesse succeeds in that area and that is distinctly evident in the Spring/Summer collection, which is so fresh and full of that youthful energy and attitude that is unique to the brand of Strenesse Gabriele Strehle. To me, part of that is possible because of the leggy Slovakian model Zuzana Gregorova. With a pair of bright sparkling eyes juxtaposed with big eyebrows and a kissable pout, Zuzanka’s look is no doubt unique and one of the most sought-after faces in the industry this season. Her expression, her poses and her body language are just spot on with the DNA of the German fashion brand in this photoshoot.

What I also like about this season is the vivid colour palette, which is exactly like the coming of spring and summer when everything comes alive. Particularly, colours like red chilli, sunshine yellow and forest green will surely make anyone stand out in a crowd and look incredible. These colours especially look great on satin which gives a soft silky touch that is perfect for a simple, sleek yet elegant look for a great night out.

For sure, this collection makes me yearn for spring to come even more!
