MaxMara Fall/Winter 2010 Ads

Now that the August magazines are hitting the news stands and appearing in our mailboxes, we are reminded that fall is just around the corner. The new ad campaigns will be featured in the August and September issues.

This week I will post my favorite brands and their Fall/Winter 2010 ads.

I love that MaxMara is using black and white photos. There’s a whole 'I'm cooler than you' feel to these images and Freja’s aloof expression fits right in with the the sophistication of each piece. The 2009 ads used a color palette of camel, black, and dark brown, shot against a plush red couch. This year the company went for a more sleek look. I like.

The big bags, the coats, and the dress are all chanting my name. I despise cold weather but these classic pieces are giving me tons of inspiration for the change of season.

Zoe Saldana: Simply Chic

 


Zoe Saldana rocked a white haute ruffled backless MaxMara dress, Christian Louboutins, and a sleek Ferragamo clutch to the Crystal + Lucy Awards where she received the “Face of the Future” award.

I love the dress but I’m biased because I love anything with ruffles. Some people think ruffles are too young and childlike but done right they are anything but. Zoe definitely got it right with this look. The contrast of the black ribbon belt is a nice touch as well. The one criticism I do have are the shoes. I’m just not sure about them with that particular dress. I would have opted for something light and strappy. Nonetheless, Zoe chose a great dress and she looked fabulous!

What do you think of Zoe’s look? Do you like the shoes? Talk to me!
