Dolce&Gabbana has launched its Masculine vs Feminine campaign, revolving around the eternal theme, the clash between (or a combination of) feminine and masculine power, and promoting the Fall/Winter 2012 collections. The new series of photos shot by acclaimed photographer Steven Klein reveals the spirit of Italia, where ladies are as brave as their husbands and men sometimes can be as sensitive and love romance as women. The brand’s prints are always very juicy and hot, and sometimes are quite controversial (like it was with the homoerotic series of photos last year)—this time, the photos showcase all the emotions towards the opposite sex—both violent and soft, gentle,—which were held inside.
What happens when two iconic brands come together? Their collaborations usually result in quite predictable products such as extravagant cars (auto + luxury), sneakers (footwear + apparel), bikes (commuter transport means + apparel) and hip bottles (soft drinks + fashion) to name but a few. Following the trend of teaming up for creating something new, SKYY Vodka and Diesel partnered to develop a new product, which is (quite surprisingly) neither jeans nor a cocktail—it is… a new swimsuit capsule collection to be unveiled this week at the beginning of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim (July 14–18, Miami).
Today’s unconventional solutions in visual art often become tomorrow’s fashion trends—emerging talents with their avant-garde thinking and unpredicted approaches to unleashing creativity are one of the biggest treasures for the world of fashion. Knowing that, Louis Vuitton teamed up with a dozen of aspiring artists to provide young geniuses from across the city with an opportunity to demonstrate what they can and learn more about the contemporary art at the awesome website called REcreative.
