Topshop, how I miss thee

God, I really miss having Topshop just a short busride away... Here's a few items I'm craving this spring...

Spring campaigns

The new SS/09 ads have started popping up. Here's a few of my faves so far:

YSL

YSL's ads are always sooo elegant, but they've really upped the game this time! Claudia Schiffer clad in a white suit outside the Hollywood signs? Amazing!! Reminds me a bit of my nowadays style icon, Crystle from The Dynasty. (More on that later...)

Topshop have gone for the 80's rock look, with the acid washed tight denim and leopard sofa. Not bad.

Sportmax's ad shows one of springs huge trends: Bold colour-blocking.



Versace has gone for those models: Kate and Gisele. Not the most exciting choice, but the styling of this ad is really simple and therefore showcases this amazing dress in the best way, Kate or no Kate. I love the idea of mixing a detailed high fashion dress with tussled beach hair!

Stating the obvious

I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on the new Kate Moss for Topshop collection. We all know that she had nothing to do with the design process (as with all celebrities-turned-designers) and that it's ridiculously overpriced blah blah... But I just have to say that this is the most boring of all "her" collections to date. It basically consists of stuff Kate's worn that's already been copied by Topshop for a few years now.... Skinny jeans, short shorts, bohemian prints, rock tees, sandals and leather belts. 10 plain vests in the same collection? Come on. This is just lazyness, Topshop. But I guess as long as it's got the "Kate Moss for Topshop" tag on it, sales will go smoothly.
