Alexa Chung speaking about her new collection for Nylon TV. 

This is an art direction and styling project designed and developed by Alys Collins on my Art direction for fashion promotion course for Nylon magazine. The story is perfectly pitched for Nylons target customer. I love Aly's styling.

In the 1960's there was an extraordinary boutique on the kings Road called 'Granny takes a trip' with the most brilliant exterior design shop window.

Vintage style has never been is so cool!

Dior - Spring / Summer 2011 brand campaign

The collection sample

At the top we have the new for S/S 2011 Dior brand photography campaign photographer by Steven Meisel released this month in all the top fashion glossies such as Vogue, Elle, Marie Clare to name a few. A student from Madrid called Miguel Gasco decided to do a brand campign for Dior as his final project on my art direction class before Xmas a month before this was published. 

He has tuned in very well to the brand's identity and interpreted what was wanted as you can see. The actual shoot concept John Galliano went for was very sensibly lower budget as it has been shot in a studio not in Hawaii but is not dissimilar in essence! The Dior styling is also very approachable and easy to identify with wearing or dare I say it putting a replica together from Top Shop or Hennes. However in different economic times Miguel's idea ( with out the Pearl Harbour war ship!) would be fabulous for this label and what fun to do!
