For this week’s Picture of the Day, we bring you the key visual from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week ad campaign starring top model Lara Stone in Calvin Klein Collection, photographed by American photographer and filmmaker, Alex Prager. The campaign titled A/W 2012 Icons of Style will be exhibited on billboards, TV promos, and within the famous tents throughout the fashion capitals of world which are playing host to the season’s fashion weeks.  The A/W 2012 Icons of Style key visual is the latest in a stunning series of outstanding visuals celebrating the unique combination of design and style that is Mercedes-Benz.

Here is the story behind A/W 2012 Icons of Style, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz.

A beautiful woman stands alone in the desert, suitcases in hand. Yet in this 21st century update on classic Film Noir, the blonde is her own getaway driver, outpacing a tornado in a sleek SL Roadster by Mercedes-Benz.
The American photographer and filmmaker, Alex Prager, is known for creating surreal and enigmatic movie moments inspired by cinematic legends like Frederico Fellini and David Lynch. Yet in her versions – heady with mystery, lust and desire – the woman is in control.

Dutch supermodel, Lara Stone plays the update on the Hitchcockian blonde, a strong protagonist who overcomes loneliness and fear. This inner strength is underscored by a timeless and elegant dress worn by Lara Stone and designed by Calvin Klein Collection’s Women’s Creative Director, Francisco Costa.

The SL Roadster featured in the latest Mercedes-Benz Icon of Style campaign, combines technical innovation with sleek sportiness and classic luxury and reinterprets the legendary Mercedes-Benz classic of the 1950s for today.
Of her enigmatic images for the A/W 2012 Mercedes-Benz Icons of Style, Alex Prager said she chose cinematic greats as her Icons of Style. “I constantly reference Fellini characters and Hitchcock as well,” said Prager.

Lara Stone commented, “It’s an honor to work with Mercedes-Benz on a project like this. Both the Mercedes-Benz and Calvin Klein Collection brands represent great luxury and timeless elegance and it was a really unique experience.”

Saks Fifth Avenue dives into ‘social shopping’ with its new ad campaign

Saks Social Media Ad campaign with @ symbol

 

With Shop My Label being at the forefront of the “social shopping” craze, coming across this new ad campaign for Saks Fifth Avenue sent giddy vibes up and down our spine.

Seeing a more traditional luxury department store embrace social media the way Saks has done in this campaign is definitely a sign that social media/shopping is a force to be reckoned with.

Saks is very active on Twitter and therefore took advantage of their iconic logo and branded shopping bags nobody dares throw away.  With just one glance a the campaign or shopping bags, you’ll know where to find Saks online, instantly.

Fashion lovers adore their brands, fashion lovers are also online–it therefore makes sense for brands to follow their fans and establish themselves online and create social relationships.  It clearly works the other way around as well–brand lovers go where their favorite brands go.

Shop My Label is the bridge (or runway) for the fashioning individuals who love to shop, inspire their friends to shop, and make money while at it.

Saks is one of Shop My Label’s 1000+ brands you’ll have access to for shopping, sharing, and selling to your friends.

demi moore for ann taylor 2011 holiday

Here is the beautiful Demi Moore as the new face of the Ann Taylor Holiday 2011 ad campaign.  Looking appropriately aged, yet stunning, Demi Moore has managed to dust her shoulders off of the recent Ashton-Sara Leal controvery and regular tabloid reports about their marriage failure.  She is, righteously so, letting her beauty do all the talking.

The brilliant campaign was shot in a Los Angeles studio by Norman Jean Roy and will appear in the Vogue and Elle December magazines. The images were inspired by a Nordic winter wonderland and features Moore in the middle of a magical snow-filled scene capturing the joy, warmth and romance of the Holiday season.

One of the most prominent campaign images features a shot of Moore in an intricately beaded shell worn with a luxe faux chinchilla stole, a statement chandelier necklace, and tweed pants, capturing old Hollywood glamour through a modern lens. All items featured in the campaign will be available as of late October in Ann Taylor stores nationwide and onwww.anntaylor.com.

Take a look at the Ann Taylor Holiday 2011 ad campaign, including a few outtakes,  starring actress Demi Moore.
