Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2013 Campaign

It may be December and the only thing on everyone's mind is CHRISTMAS! However some of us continue to look to the future and seeing what trends are going to hit our stores next year, not to mention S/S advertising campaigns.

The Marc by Marc Jacobs is one advertising campaign for Spring/Summer that stood out for me whilst browsing through various campaigns. I can't help but see similarities to some of Vivienne Westwood advertising campaigns and I don't think this is a coincidence as they were both shot by renowned photographer, Juergen Teller. German fashion photographer has a long relationship with brand and designer Marc Jacobs, and has shot his campaigns since 1998. Known for their simple white boarder you can always identify a Marc Jacobs advert from afar, and I have no doubt the crucial ingredient is Juergen Teller.

Seeing Double

Anna and Sonya Kupriienko are twins from Ukraine that share much more than just a birthday, they share a modelling signing with Select model agency. As a pair they are known as Anna & Sonya K, and they just work so well together. So many photographers out there have played around with the themes of twins and seeing double and with this model duo it is reality. They made their catwalk debut at London Fashion week, September 2012.

Denise Grunstein:photographer

I came across Denise Grunstein's work recently and even thought she may not be the most sought after photographer in the world, there is something so mesmerising and fresh about her work. She works in both colour and black and white but it is her colour work that gets my attention.. In fact it was the image below that caught my eye and I had to see who took it. 

Denise is a swedish photographer and is represented by CameraLink and is one of the most respected photographers in Sweden. She specialises in portraits, landscape and fashion. Her work is simply stunning-what do you think?

Since graduating in May I have concentrated mainly on my fashion writing and my photography has let slip. Denise certainly makes me want to go straight and make some mood boards and plan a shoot. Her attention to detail is second to none-and even though I can draw similarities to Tim Walkers work she does it all with such a laid back attitude and in her own style.

Print Magazine or Digital Magazine?

Print or Digital?

Over the past few years one debate that resurfaces from time to time is that of the print vs digital magazine. I have always preferred print magazine as there is just something you get from turning the pages in your hand that just isn't quite the same as the click of a mouse. There is no denying that online magazines are a lot easier to access, and magazines need to adhere to the 21st century, however I now find myself somewhere in the middle. I can't see a day where I would never buy a print magazine, but for now online magazines are working for me. 

However one exception to the rule is Notion Magazine. I have a lot of respect for Notion, however living in the Oxfordshire countryside I can't always get my hands on a copy. What I love about Notion is I can view it online, and even if I don't necessarily read as many of the articles as I would in a print copy, I don't feel like I'm missing out. & what is even better is you save your pennies, for other magazines :) Win win!! Take a look at this beautiful editorial from the latest Notion and you can view it online here: http://www.e-pages.dk/notion/81/. 

So what side are you on digital or print?!
