Images and video shot by YOUR PICTURE/OUR FUTURE talent
JW Anderson is proud to release the brand’s Spring Summer 2019 campaign images and video. The campaign was shot by Julie Greve, a UK based photographer and one of the three winners of the JW Anderson YOUR PICTURE/OUR FUTURE competition.
The competition, launched at the beginning of 2018, was an international search for new talent and an occasion for the brand to further develop the youthful energy, enthusiasm and surprise that are core to JW Anderson. Greve was one of three winners selected from a group of over one-thousand-eight hundred 18-30 year old image-makers. Their initial project was a collaboration between the winners on the JW Anderson Autumn Winter 2018 campaign. The current campaign is the first shot exclusively by Greve.
The campaign goes beyond just images with a short film entitled jagged whispers ASHORE. The film is referenced in certain images from the campaign and live on the JW Anderson website and the entire project was supported by industry leaders including Jonathan Anderson, Benjamin Bruno and M/M Paris who provided their expertise and guidance.
Given the success of the first YOUR PICTURE/OUR FUTURE campaign the brand plans to launch a second search at the end of 2019. The competition will remain international but will receive the support of The Princes Trust, a UK charity founded by Prince Charles and dedicated to helping underprivileged young people thrive by providing opportunities for them to build their skills and confidence.

Russell Westbrook shot by Juergen Teller for Acne Studios SS19 campaign
Basketball superstar Russell Westbrook, one of the most celebrated players of his generation, is the star of the Spring/Summer 2019 campaign for Acne Studios.

Basketball superstar Russell Westbrook, one of the most celebrated players of his generation, is the star of the Spring/Summer 2019 campaign for Acne Studios. Shot by acclaimed photographer Juergen Teller, the campaign focuses on denim, with jeans the first garment ever produced by Acne Studios over twenty years ago. Teller travelled to Oklahoma, where Westbrook plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder, to shoot the campaign.
“Denim is how Acne Studios started, and it still fascinates me. I’ve always wanted to work with Juergen Teller, and so we asked Juergen to photograph our denim on American icon Russell Westbrook,” says Jonny Johansson, Creative Director of Acne Studios.
“I was already a huge fan of Acne Studios, so I was really excited when they asked me to be the face for their new campaign. I really identify with Acne Studios because their aesthetic is very unique, and I like to be unique too,” says Russell Westbrook.
For his first campaign for Acne Studios, Juergen Teller has created a series of images that show Westbrook playing basketball in unexpected Oklahoma locations wearing Acne Studios denim.
In some of the images, it’s as if Westbrook is dribbling the ball towards Teller himself behind the camera.
Among the Acne Studios denim worn by Westbrook in the shoot is the 1996 fit, a style that recreates the first jeans ever created by Acne Studios. After discussing the shoot in depth, Johansson gave Teller full trust to create the images in his own individual style, where much is left to chance. 30 year old Westbrook plays point guard for Oklahoma City Thunder and is an eight-time NBA
All-Star, as well as two-time NBA All-Star Game Most Valuable Player. He is as idiosyncratic and fearless off the court as on, and is famous for his love of fashion, often expressing himself through his style.
“I was very excited to shoot for Acne Studios. They seem so free and fun and experimental, and you can feel the sense of enthusiasm and excitement that they have. They were completely behind us, and when I have that trust I can open myself and make my best work,” says Juergen Teller.

CARA DELEVINGNE POSES WITH OLIVIER ROUSTEING FOR THE BALMAIN SPRING CAMPAIGN
I’ve always enjoyed the special chemistry that I share with my friend Cara. Whenever we meet, it’s impossible to hide either my admiration for her or the joy that I feel in her presence. It’s a bond that’s beyond obvious in the many photos and videos taken over the past few years, capturing our spontaneous hugs, kisses and, of course, the never-ending laughter.

I’ve always enjoyed the special chemistry that I share with my friend Cara. Whenever we meet, it’s impossible to hide either my admiration for her or the joy that I feel in her presence. It’s a bond that’s beyond obvious in the many photos and videos taken over the past few years, capturing our spontaneous hugs, kisses and, of course, the never-ending laughter.
After her triumphant swagger down my spring runway, it was obvious to all that now was finally the time for a campaign featuring Cara. Please forgive all the following puns, but these images literally aim to strip away all pretense, focusing on nothing but the bare essentials of today’s Balmain Woman: her audacity, strength and confidence. Cara embodies that modern woman: she is authentic, transparent and never afraid to push it on every single level. I couldn’t admire more what she has accomplished in her career and how she lives her life—she’s a talent with something to say and she’s never been timid about expressing her point of view—and that’s why I consider her a muse.
Yes, we’re naked. Yes, I’m black and she’s white. So, go ahead, trolls, give me your best. You will never change the fact that I love what Dan Beleiu was able to capture here: a reflection on the beauty and honesty of nudity, the impressive strength of a confident woman, the importance of friendship and, more than anything else, an essential truth that becomes more and more clear to me each day: the biggest luxury in life is being completely open, true and honest with yourself.

BOTTEGA VENETA READY-TO-WEAR CAMPAIGN SPRING 2019
Time - indefinable and transient, the ultimate in luxury. Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2019 campaign, the first executed under the Creative Direction of Daniel Lee, focuses on that notion.

Time - indefinable and transient, the ultimate in luxury. Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2019 campaign, the first executed under the Creative Direction of Daniel Lee, focuses on that notion. The result is, paradoxically, timeless - an examination of the codes and heritage of Bottega Veneta, on what it represents in the fashion landscape of today. It is a palate cleanser, a reset of our perception, a reestablishing of identity for now.
Photographed by Tyrone LeBon, these natural, unself-conscious pictures seem like fragments of a larger narrative, as if scenes captured from a film. Influenced by Italian neorealist cinema - and the way of life those films reflect - each image encapsulates and cements a different character, a persona, that represents a facet of Lee’s vision for the house.
The cast of men and women spans generations and diverse backgrounds, giving the images a universality - an Italian spirit, with a global relevance. United here, they form a new community, a family. Juxtapositions explore not dichotomy, but their interrelation. There is an affinity found between Bottega Veneta’s hallmark material, leather, and the skin of the body - a bare back, a bag in intrecciato, a figure weaving through water, a woman wrapped in a calf trench-coat.
Recorded over several days in a private house on the Neapolitan island of Ischia, these images are dynamic, essential and free. They have a quiet confidence. Fashion is stripped to its purest form, laying out the essential elements of Bottega Veneta: a fine knit, a coat, the intrecciato leather. Incidental, almost, the clothes and accessories become part of a whole - part of the context, part of a life. Expressing a sense of intimacy, a heightened reality, these images delineate the spirit of Bottega Veneta.

A journey from the white of the rough canvas to colour, seasoned with collage prints of classical statues.
Jamie Hawkesworth reflects on the work in the atelier and on the relationship between the artist and his muse.
Within the evocative frame of Musée Bourdelle in Paris, the model Jess Maybury interprets the Marni Spring/Summer 2019 collection in a series of suggestive poses and expressions that stress the accent on the artisan side of the designer’s work, keeping always an eye on Classicism and its powerful influence on Marni aesthetic paradigm.
The peculiar usage of light recreates an intimate atmosphere inspired to Flemish paintings, while the gestures and clothes of the protagonist convey a sort of subversive attitude that well represents the eclectic essence of Marni.

Prada pays homage to the 2019 Chinese Year celebrations with a special digital campaign dedicated to modern Asian youth culture and style. At the turn of year, it is not only a moment to reflect, but also to walk into a hopeful future and to share moments with family and friends.
Directed by Emmy-nominated, LA-based young American Chinese talent Christine Yuan, the film brings together a group of new generation Asians to an unspecified space. Dressed in Prada’s latest collection, the group of young men and women wander from room to room, chatting and sharing the ritual of their roots and identities. Bathed in a nostalgic retro hue the protagonists’ confident pose look to the future.
An exclusive collection of bags, footwear and accessories with the “MY CHARACTER” service will be available in selected Prada stores and on prada.com starting mid-January 2019.

MISSONI SUMMER 2019 CAMPAIGN
The Missoni Summer 2019 campaign is resplendent in the nocturnal lights of space, as the stars and planets transform into an ethereal background.

The Missoni Summer 2019 campaign is resplendent in the nocturnal lights of space, as the stars and planets transform into an ethereal background. Skies are as blue as a baroque theatre, with close-up and extended views of galactic, sandy and blazing destinations. Desert landscapes are animated by sand dunes and craters, painted by the reflections of stars which frame our two protagonists: top model Gisele Bündchen, historic testimonial for Missoni, and singer Tamino Amir Moharam Fouad, the latest sensation in the European alternative rock scene.
The two models reveal this season’s looks and pose as if they were dreamlike creatures emerging from the astral heavens. Dresses encrusted in ruffles and gossamery knitted mesh or iridescent ensembles in space-dyed lamé drape the body of a dancing Gisel. The meditative Tamino wears suits in loom-knit or woven fabrics with grosgrain-like textures as he contemplates the obscurity of space.
Both models were shot in full and half plans by Harley Weir in New York last October for a campaign on which Angela Missoni sets her signature to the creative direction. The two protagonists appear as travellers who transcend space and time; embodying the nomadic spirit of the latest summer collections for Missoni and Missoni Man.

On the occasion of its first menswear show in Paris, LOEWE will preview its Fall/Winter 2019 campaign with a series of posters that take to the streets of Paris, between 16 and 28 January, 2019.
Photographer Steven Meisel continues his LOEWE collaboration with a series of colour portraits inspired by emoticons, entitled Magnified Emotions.
Holding a giant magnifying lens, model Julia Nobis enacts ‘Hysteria’ and ‘Despair’ against a striking yellow background, giving new context to this contemporary form of communication.
The portraits are accompanied by a series of fashion photographs that take place in an overflowing candy shop. In the preview image, model Yassine Jaajoui wears a hooded sweater that contrasts with the giant peppermints and rolled rock sugar that pops in the background.
In celebration of the craftsmanship of the product itself, a still life of the Goya backpack completes the campaign. Named after the fashion house’s home in Madrid, this nautical-inspired piece is made from heavy duty cotton, classic Oro suede, tan calfskin and a playful rainbow webbing.
