Fashionist[On The Go]: New Face Of Talbots and A Banned Commercial?

There are two interesting stories that have caught my eyes on The Fashionist this week and I would love to share them with you right now!

Talbots has a new face! For this season, Talbots has picked Julianne Moore as the model for the promotion campaign. If you recognize the style, you will know this shoot is shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. To be honest, I really like this campaign because it looks very fresh and pure. [Read Here]

After reading this piece of news, till this moment, I am still a bit shocked. The latest commercial for YSL's Belle D'Opium is banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain because it somehow encourages people to use drugs(?). I think this is a bit strange to me. [Read Here]

I really don't see a problem here. (source:The Fashionist)

Come back next week for another edition of Fashionist [On The Go]! Make sure you check out The Fashionist constantly as there are always news we like but do not fit in this blog. (The Fashion Ad Flashback section is great, check it every Saturday!)

Ray of Inspirology: Best Performances

W Magazine has really stepped up the game and I am liking of what I see here.

This editorial is shot by dynamic photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and it features some of the hottest actors and actresses in this year. Every photo has its own style and it ranges from haunting to classy, funny to serious. My favorite ones are Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter and Julianne Moore. Do you have your favorite picks?

Ray of Inspirology: Julianne Moore for Bvlgari

Here are 3 people/thing I like: Julianne Moore, Bvlgari, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott.  If you put these 3 units together, you get a powerful and elegant photo campaign.

Julianne Moore has recently become the spokesperson for Bvlgari and recently Mert & Marcus has done a shoot for her to promote the brand. The photo for this campaign is like a flawless oil painting and it has become one of my favorite 2010 promotion campaigns.

Below is a behind the scene video for this shoot. Check the final image after the jump!

Ray of Inspirology: A Single Man in V Magazine

You must have heard of the name Tom Ford as a fashion designer, but do you know that he is also a film director? His first directing debut, A Single Man, will be coming to theatre this Friday in limited release. 

Lately, he has also added photographer to his resume. He has done a photoshoot for V Magazine to promote his movie. When I look at his photos, all I can say he, his shooting style is what I am trying to become and I like the whole shoot a lot. Here are some photos from the spread. If you want to see the whole interview, pick up this magazine on January 12 at your nearest newsstands.
