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!

High Voltage Latex Leggings

The wonder of High Voltage High Shine Latex Leggings has been experimented with circa 2002 as evident in the editorial “High Voltage” by Photographer Craig McDean shown in W Magazine August 2002; yet it remained undiscovered until Nicolas Ghesquière’s Technorobo and Hussein Chalayan’s Earth-Friendly Earth-Conscious Trends took on to mainstream fashion. For those who are living in the Northern Hemisphere, the green light is on; but for those who live in tropical countries or in the South, it might be a Territory of No Man’s Land, as the summer heat wave approaches imminently at full force. Oh well… Too bad! Just too bad! Fashion is just unfair!

Dear John

Dear John,

I love you and Daria so much, but why no Masha for Dior Fall/Winter 2008/09 ads (/photographed by Craig McDean)? She opened the show so well channelling that sultry Mrs Robinson vibe so perfectly. I was hoping to see Masha in the ads so badly.  Maybe the next campaign? Please?

I understand that this is obviously a tough decision for you considering that neither girls have done a Christian Dior campaign before and yet both Ukrainian girls are so utterly amazing and have such a unique distinctive look that is just simply great for the campaign, but I just want to say that: Please give Masha a try in your next campaign. She won’t be a disappointment.

Regards,

-Yulya X-
