Top 10 Campanhas da Temporada

LONDRES, Reino Unido - Enquanto a no??o de esta??es está se tornando mais fluido do que nunca, campanhas publicitárias sazonais continuam a ser uma parte importante do arsenal de marketing da moda, mesmo se eles s?o agora mais calculado para Instagram  do que as páginas de revistas impressas.

As campanhas mais atraentes desta temporada incluem dois anúncios que refletem a reforma criativa de Raf Simons de Calvin Klein - e aproveitar a cultura popular mais ampla para ajudar a atrair o público. A campanha de Simons Calvin Klein By Appointment, filmada por Willy Vanderperre , apresenta uma imagem impactante da estrela de Stranger Things, Millie Bobbi Brown. Mas é sua campanha Calvin Klein Underwear, com o elenco do filme vencedor do Oscar "Moonlight", que realmente empurrou o envelope e capitalizou o zeitgeist cultural mais amplo. Calvin Klein também vestiu o elenco para a cerim?nia de premia??o da Academia, refletindo uma abordagem multi-canal inteligente que piggy-apoiado em uma audiência de televis?o global de milh?es.

Outras histórias de sucesso incluem a campanha da Juergen Teller para a Céline, bem como as impressionantes imagens de David Luraschi para Jacquemus, que lan?aram o selo em uma luz madura e a campanha de Monkey, de trompe-l'oeil de Annie Leibovitz, com o artista chinês Liu Bolin.

Abaixo está a nossa sele??o das 10 melhores campanhas da temporada.

1. Calvin Klein -  estrelando  o elenco de luar e arte por Sterling Ruby, Richard Prince e Andy Warhol, remate longo de Willy Vanderperre

Sob a vis?o criativa de Raf Simons, o lendário selo americano é redefinido em publicidade com as campanhas desta temporada, filmadas pelo colaborador de longa data Willy Vanderperre. Uma pausa dos anúncios de celebridades de ontem (#mycalvins nos gostos de Kendall Jenner e Bella Hadid ), Vanderperre explora e reinterpreta o que significa ser um americano completamente através de sua lente. Apresentando o elenco de Moonlight, Calons Klein de Simons celebra a arte negra, mudando a abordagem longe de colher números em Instagram.

Estes s?o os clássicos chamados americanos: calcinhas dos homens brancos e jeans. Ao contrário, ao justapor essas pe?as clássicas em frente às obras de artistas americanos como Sterling Ruby, Richard Prince e Andy Warhol, Simons posiciona os produtos como arte - reconhecendo seu significado e os papéis que desempenham na cultura popular americana completamente.

2. Balenciaga — starring Alek Wek, Shujing Zhou and Eliza Douglas, shot by Harley Weir

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2017 campaign |

Campaign images face the arduous challenge of conveying an entire season of clothes — from the designer’s inspirations to the attitude of the collection — in a few still images. In this respect, Weir’s campaign for Balenciaga this season was in perfect harmony with the clothes. While the garments themselves explored the theoretical aspects of fetishism, Weir’s photographs are in themselves variations on this fetishistic theme. Featuring the likes of Alek Wek, Shujing Zhou and Eliza Douglas (three models who walked in the show), this season’s campaign felt like a natural extension from the runway. Reminiscent of the Red Room from David Lynch’s cult '90's television series "Twin Peaks" — which has become a staple for the Tumblr generation — the background is eerily ominous, giving viewers a strange sense of discomfort much like a Lynchian mise en scène.

3. Moncler — starring Liu Bolin, shot by Annie Leibovitz

Liu Bolin for Moncler Spring/Summer 2017 |

The odd one of the batch, the campaign, shot by Annie Leibovitz, features no ‘it’ models. In their place is Chinese performance artist Liu Bolin, who, adorned in Moncler, is painted entirely to blend into the background — a continuation of his previous body of work. Diverging from the traditional fashion editorial, Moncler’s campaign this season focuses not on the clothes but Liu himself, who, nicknamed "the Invisible Man," obscures himself by painting to camouflage completely. Liu’s work is not only artistic, but a sociopolitical critique of his native China. As Liu says, “The collaboration with Moncler shows my intention of inviting individuals to experience and to contemplate art in everyday life. As we stand at the intersection of the post-industrial and virtual age, the interrelationship among modern technology, man-made landscapes and human beings themselves has become the point of departure in my works.” By tapping into this creative endeavour, Moncler distances itself from fashion and strives to elevate itself into the realm of contemporary art that is both culturally and politically minded.

4. Valentino — starring Christy Turlington, shot by David Sims 

Valentino Spring/Summer 2017 campaign |

To call Christy Turlington Valentino’s new muse is somewhat of a misnomer: Turlington starred in several Valentino campaigns in the 1990s, making her reappearance in Pierpaolo Piccioli’s first solo campaign with Valentino is an exercise in melancholic nostalgia. The wrinkles on her face are intentionally unfiltered; left untouched, to be seen, the imagery plays with the notion of time and our grasp of it. Shot by David Sims, the series is deeply introspective in its intimacy, and carries a delicate, poignant tone of sadness. The faces of the models are contrasted with the fleeting images of the clothes, giving it a sense of ephemerality. Portraits of Liya Kebede and Ratner, featuring the models staring directly into the camera, underscore the campaigns impactful intimacy.

5. Alexander McQueen — starring Vittoria Ceretti, shot by Jamie Hawkesworth

Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2017 campaign |

Alexander McQueen once again enlisted British photographer Jamie Hawkesworth for its Spring/Summer 2017 campaign. Starring rising model Vittoria Ceretti, it is set in an infinity sand and sea, populated only by Ceretti and rolling sand dunes. Ceretti, surrounded by footprints in the sands, appears as a fleeting figure. As the sun shifts, so too does she. The collection was inspired by the Scottish Highlands and Britain's Jurassic coast as a tribute to Lee McQueen’s ancestry. The crashing waves of the Atlantic coast represented in Sarah Burton's designs contrast the pristine sand-scape of undulating dunes. This delicate exercise in contrast between the clothes and the mise-en-scéne synergistically brings out the beauty in each.

6. Dior — starring Ruth and May Bell, shot by Brigitte Lacombe

Dior Spring/Summer 2017 campaign |

When Dior’s first female artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri debuted her work for the historic house on the Parisian runways for Spring/Summer 2017, a statement t-shirt declared that "We should all be feminists." The line, lifted from the title of an essay written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a black feminist writer from Nigeria, has somewhat set the tone for Chiuri’s tenure to date. For this season’s campaign, shot by Brigitte Lacombe, Dior plays with the idea of sisterhood starring Ruth and May Bell. In her essay, Adichie writes, “[W]e do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males: we teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller." The campaign — where a woman photographs two women wearing clothes designed by another woman — is just one of the many ways that Chiuri thinks we can be feminists.

7. Miu Miu — Elle Fanning, Carolyn Murphy and Lara Stone, shot by Alasdair McLellan 

Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2017 campaign |

This season’s Miu Miu campaign, shot by Alasdair McLellan, successfully utilises a bordered diptych format to capture the essence of summer and the blithe spirit of Miu Miu. Featuring brand favourites like actress Elle Fanning, alongside established models names such as Carolyn Murphy and Lara Stone, McLellan invokes the traditional signs of summer in a mid-20th century tone. The models are on the beach, next to the calm ocean; wearing flowers on their heads as a radiant sun shines down from above. If Miu Miu is supposed to be the na?ve counterpart to a sophisticated Prada, as Mrs Prada herself has once said, then this campaign speaks to the raison d’être behind the entire brand, in addition to this season's collection.

8. Céline — starring Amber Witcomb, shot by Juergen Teller

Céline Spring/Summer 2017 |

The longstanding creative partnership between Phoebe Philo and photographer Juergen Teller needs no introduction. Indeed, it seems like a Céline campaign shot by Teller is the surest thing each season. Up against the monotonous background, Philo’s collection becomes the focal point of the images. Of course Teller, after so many seasons, knows exactly what to do to, but it remains impressive that the variations on a theme continue to be so visually stimulating. Over the years, Teller's lens has come to play a significant role in crafting the archetypical Céline woman; his imagery augmenting Philo's sophisticated yet challenging aesthetic through his stark and impactful composition.

9. Jacquemus — starring Rose Van Bosstraeten, shot by David Luraschi

Jacquemus Spring/Summer 2017 |

Photographed by David Luraschi under the artistic direction of designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, the striking campaign image of a model cast as a figurine creates a sense of isolation, idealising the subject. On the base, "Jacquemus" is etched in cursive handwriting. The campaign shows the brand in a mature and thoughtful light in the newest stage of its evolution, as it comes to confront its own identity in a bold statement of intent.

10. Burberry — starring Amber Witcomb, Elfie Reigate, Ella King, Henry Kitcher, Myles Dominique, Nora Attal, Tamara Long, Tom Fool, shot by Josh Olins

Burberry campaign |

Shot on location in Hertfordshire, the campaign cleverly combines a contemplative reflection on the brand’s British heritage, featuring England's lush, rolling landscape and an acknowledgement of the brand's commercial restructuring to fashion immediacy by the inclusion of the date of the show (and thus the drop date of the collection). To shoot his Henry Moore inspired Autumn 2017 collection, Christopher Bailey tapped British photographer Josh Olins, representing a break from the brand's established creative format, which began in 2008 when Mario Testino was commissioned and ran until last season.
