Marc Jacob's Final Campaign for Louis Vuitton

Hard to believe that the 16 year legacy of Marc Jacobs designing for Louis Vuitton has finally reached its close.  But though we have to say goodbye to one of our favorites for the fashion label, he's left us with one final campaign for the spring 2014 collection, and we couldn't be more thankful.

With lovely faces of star power like Gisele Bundchen, Catherine Deneuve, and Sofia Coppola, all of whom have had a long and luscious relationship with the brand, we're left to pause a moment at the lovely headshots taken, featuring the collections new handbags.

The shots were taken by photographer Steven Meisel on a subdued charcoal color studio backdrop.  The wardrobe is demure, elegant, and portrays the same mood as the looks on the women's faces:  restraint.  The campaign takes on an almost retrospective tone, as if to say, take a moment, settle down, and quietly pay homage to the the legacy of Marc Jacobs, that will cary on long beyond his departure.

Katy Perry for GHD: New Campaign

While Katy Perry may be know for her whimsical costumes and pop driven music, the spotlight is set at a slightly different angle right now.... her hair!

The Wide Awake singer is the campaign face once again for hair care company GHD.  But there's something different about this campaign and we like it.  

Last time, GHD shot Miss Perry in a theatrical style role, playing enchanted characters.  This time, it's all about natural beauty and a fresh, modern style.  And we almost didn't recognize her!  Photographer Ellen von Unwerth did a superb job capturing a more relatable, elegant side of the singer, and the black and white palate create a classic touch of vintage to the work.
