Missoni S/S 2013 Campaign

Despite having deep rooted family issues after Vittorio Missoni (Marketing Director and son) and wife went missing after NYE on Los Roques, the company have still managed to put together a brilliant Spring/Summer Campaign for their 60th Anniversary. Shot by the one and only Alasdair Mclellan the campaign shows that the family run company can do so much more than striped knitwear.

The campaign comes at a sad time as the Missoni family are eagerly awaiting news in regards to their son Vittorio Missoni, who's plane mysteriously disappeared soon after take off on the 4th of January 2012. Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Italian brand will be very hard without Vittorio but I wish them all the best in the search for him and his wife. Despite the family issues the Missoni family have to power on through to make the Missoni brand something to be proud of, and this Spring/Summer campaign showcasing works from past and present is just what they need.

Valentino Spring/Summer Advertising Campaign 2012

It's not often that an advertising campaign really stands out for me but Valentino's Spring/Summer Advertising Campaign is visually stunning and does the luxury brand justice. The vintage style dress covered in lace detailing complimented by the decadent backdrop make for beautiful images. Photography Deborah Turbeville really adds some of her personality in the  beautifully lit images. There are hints of burgundy and pink within the collection supported by strong neutral coloured pieces. It may even be my favourite advertising campaign of 2012 so far!
