Fashion takes a turn to the ’70s with chic, modern silhouettes that strike the balance between office and off-duty.

Designers channel the 1970s’ spirit of revolution to change the status quo. After seasons of skinny jeans and androgyny, Spring’s new look takes cues from American sportswear's chic sophistication. A clean palette with tailored yet relaxed silhouettes marks a decided turning point in style.

Tom Ford Spring 2011 Preview In Vogue December 2010

Tom Ford hates fashion democracy. That much is clear to me. Only 100 chosen lucky ones got to see the Tom Ford Spring 2011 runway show. No cameras were allowed but one – Terry Richardson’s. The collection will officially debut for us mere mortals next month on Tom Ford’s website.

Holding out on magazines until December paid off for Tom Ford. Ford’s collection was already featured in a dedicated Vogue December 2010 editorial, but I have the feeling that the forthcoming W Magazine’s Tom Ford editorial is going to be my favorite.
“Major Tom” is the new Tom Ford editorial featured in W Magazine January 2011 issue. Ford’s new Spring 2011 collection is of course showcased, alongside an interview, in a photoshoot by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Madin, modeled by Lara Stone.
In the interview Tom Ford opens up about the women who inspired his collection:
About Daphne Guinness: “Daphne is about structure, so the most important thing is that her dress is corseted and shows off her incredible figure. She is also not a shrinking violet and can pull off fashion looks that many would be afraid of. I wanted her to have one of the most dramatic looks in the show.”
About Rachel Feinstein: “Every time I see Rachel, I am dazzled by her smile, and I think about color. Rachel is all about color.”
About Karen Elson: “Karen in such an exotic beauty, I always love dressing her in color that plays off her skin tome and hair color.”
About Lou Doillon: “Lou is young and has an amazing body. She was the perfect person to wear a catsuit-Le smoking.”

Versace spring 2011 ad campaign with January Jones

Versace Spring 2011 ad campaign starring January Jones reveals a nude Jones with her “Mad Men” 60′s character hair with nothing but a handbag and pair of heels.
The campaign shot by Mario Testino is a minimalist black and white resembling Givenchy Spring 2011 campaign (shot by Mert and Marcus) in aesthetic.

Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci is making headlines again with a new campaign ad starring a male albino model. Tisci explained that pale flesh tones have been a key feature in his designs.

The model is Stephen Thompson, who was previously represented by the now defunct Ugly modeling agency.

He is joined by Givenchy regualrs Daphne Groeneveld, Mariacarla Boscono, and Iris Strubegger in the series of shots by famed photographer Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Tisci told WWD that he had always admired albino people, saying, "They're very near my world."

He added that the idea for his latest collection and its campaign are inspired by a Robert Mapplethorpe photo of an alabaster Roman bust on a sheet of leopard print fabric.

The campaign will grace the January issue of L'Uoma Vogue, the February issue of French Vogue, and other U.S. magazines in March.

Last season, Tisci created buzz when he cast transsexual model Lea T in his autumn

Daphne Groeneveld Goes Albino In Givenchy Spring 2011 Ad Campaign

A small preview is all we get from the forthcoming Givenchy Spring 2011 ad campaign. Riccardo Tisci let albino model Stephen Thompson’s look set the tone for the campaign and his regulars (Mariacarla Boscono, Daphne Groeneveld, Iris Strubegger) were turned albino as well.

Like the models, the images have a milky white tone shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Apparently, Riccardo Tisci has always been fascinated by albino people and thinks they are very much on trend with neutral colors dominating the runways this season.

We’ll get to see the full images in February
