Picture Perfect: Versace F/W 2015 Campaign

Versace released the latest campaign over the weekend and finally, the fashion house is putting back the spotlight on the models once again.

Shot by Mert & Marcus, Karlie Kloss, Caroline Trentini, Lexi Boling, River Viiperi, Oliver Stummvoll, and Alessio Pozzi are the stars of this campaign. This is the perfect cast because each one does bring out the sexy vibe of the fashion house. As always, I love Mert & Marcus shooting style and the photos here are very bold and colourful.

Ray of Inspirology: All-Ages Show

When you put Daft Punk and Karlie Kloss together in a shoot, you are guaranteed amazing things will happen. Below is a good proof!

In the latest issue of Vogue, Craig McDean has done a great editorial on this cool combination. Karlie looks beyond amazing and the electronic duo injects a nice futuristic vibe to the photos. I am particularly drawn to the Dolce & Gabbana one because Karlie uses the helmet as the mirror, which I think is a very nice idea.

Ray of Inspirology: Karlie Kloss for Vogue Australia May 2013

Many people are looking forward to see The Great Gatsby and recently, Vogue Australia has done a shoot with Karlie Kloss in some of the movie's costumes.

The series is shot by Arthur Elgort and these Great Gatsby's outfits are all from Prada and Miu Miu. If you find some of the outfits to be familiar, it's because some of them are actually inspired by the Prada S/S 2011 and F/W 2011 collections. After seeing these images, I just wish May can come sooner!

Ray of Inspirology: Aves de Paso

If you are familiar with Hermès, you should one of their signature elements is the scarves. In this latest issue of Harper's Bazaar España, David Sims has done a very nice shoot based on this product.

Karlie Kloss is the model of this amazing editorial and she is wrapped by different Hermès scarves. I like the simple background as it helps to make the colourful scarves to stand out. After looking at these images, I feel like I may beed to visit the Hermès store to look at some of the designs up close.

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: New Year! New Start!

Happy New Year! Now it's time to see what's on the first fashion cheat sheet of 2013!

Karlie Kloss is not only one of my favourite models of these recent years, but she is also Vogue's top model in 2012. She has done some pretty amazing editorials for 20 issues of Vogue (both US and International) in this past year. I am pretty sure her career will continue to glow in 2013. [Read Here]

Congrats on being Vogue's top model! (source: StyleNotes)

I hope you had a great New Year's Eve party but I bet nothing could beat this one. Valentino Garavani hosted a party in Gstaad, Switzerland and his guests were none other than Madonna and Anne Hathaway. Seriously, this might be the best New Year's Eve party of 2012. [Read Here]

I bet all of us would want to be there... (source: StyleNotes)

See you again next week!

Ray of Inspirology: Manège Couture

I have to say, I often enjoy seeing Karl Lagerfeld's photos when they are in black and white and the following editorial is just another good example to prove my point.

In the latest issue of Numero, Karl shoots some of his favourite models (Karlie Kloss, Daria Strokous, Lindsey Wixson, Edie Campbell, Saskia De Brauw, and Kati Nescher) in a spread styled by Rebecca Bleynie & Vanessa Metz. All models are dressed in haute couture pieces (that JPG 3D corset will be a new iconic piece) and Karl does a very good job by capturing the best poses of the models. I feel like some of the images a very timeless and can definitely use them as art pieces. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Dandy Haze

One of the womenswear trends this season is the suits and out of all the supermodels in the world, I think Karlie Kloss is one of the best choices for this kind of editorial. Shot by Nick Knight, this editorial consists of some amazing suits from Jonathan Sauders, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu. Honestly, I think a girl looks very sassy when she wears a suit to special events. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Karlie Kloss for Vogue Australia March 2012

Kai Z Feng + Karlie Kloss. This combination rocks!

This editorial is featured in the latest issue of Vogue Australia and Karlie is dressed in some of the hottest pieces from this season (amazing Naomi Smith!).  Some of the pieces I can identify right now include Alexander McQueen, Prada, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and of course the amazing print from Mary Katrantzou. Karlie, as per usual, strikes some amazing poses on the set and the images are breathtaking.

This is a spread you will not want to miss out!

Ray of Inspirology: Lady Luxe

How beautiful is this spread?

This editorial is featured in the latest issue of Vogue UK and it is shot by Mario Testino. Karlie Kloss, one of the hottest models in the world at the moment, strikes some killer poses here. The whole spread is full of energy, and it also has its elegant side. I cannot take my eyes off some of these images.

Ray of Inspirology: The Collections on IVC

Steven Meisel has created a very nice editorial for the January issue of Vogue Italia.

This editorial features models include Sigrid Agren, Gertrud Hegelund, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, Caroline Trentini, Daria Strokous and Natasha Poly. I really like the shopping television concept and seeing all those models dressed up in high fashion pieces in this setting is very refreshing. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Candy Darling

Karlie Kloss can do no wrong this year (I think I have said this a million times already!).

This editorial is from the October issue of Numéro and Kloss is shot by Tom Munro (and styled by Charles Varenne). From clothing to compositing, everything is so perfect here and I especially like the contrast between the background and the clothes.

Perfection at its best!

Ray of Inspirology: Karlie Kloss for Vogue Germany

This is a very interesting editorial for all emerging fashion photographers to study.

You may not be a fan of tilt-shift lense photos but Alexei Lubomirski has demonstrated how this technique will work on a high fashion spread. Karlie Kloss is the  main subject in this photo and I am totally in love with the retro colour treatment. Here, the tilt-shift effect has made Karlie Kloss to stand out in the photos. Her face is in sharp focus and everything around her is slightly blurred out. I think this is a good way to show the readers where they should focus on. I really like this editorial, what do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: In Love With The City

Karlie Kloss can do no wrong, that's all I can say.

In the September issue of Vogue Japan, Karlie Kloss is shot by Arthur Elgort in this amazing editorial. The city theme is really working for me and Karlie Kloss is showing the different sides of her in these images. This is an editorial that will probably bright up your day. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Donna Karan S/S 2011 Promotion Campaign

This is a very classy promotion campaign!

Last season, Karlie Kloss was the only model for Donna Karan campaign but this year, Abbey Lee is adding to the shoot to spice things up. The campaign is shot by Patrick Demarchelier and the whole campaign is so elegant and the fashion pieces are blending so well with the background to give me a feeling as if the models are coming out from the wall. What do you think? Do you like it?

Ray of Inspirology: Dior S/S 2011 Promotion Campaign

It is certain that Karlie Kloss continues to shine in the fashion scene in this season.

Once again, she is the model for Dior this season and the campaign is shot by Steven Meisel. At first glance, I thought I was going back to the 60s,70s era because the photo processing technique is very retro (must be the warm tint). If I could have a poster size of these two photos, I would most likely frame them and hang them on the wall in my room!

What do you think of these 2 ads?

Ray of Inspirology: Where Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops

You like fairy tale editorials? If so, then this one is for you.

In the latest issue of Vogue India, Tim Walker has done a fantastic spread featuring super model Karlie Kloss. I am loving the location of the shoot which reminds me of the shoot I have done for I Scream Awards. As a fan of fairy tale, there is no way for me to not like this dreamy shoot especially Karlie is performing so well here; however, nothing beats the Humpty Dumpty here, that prop is just priceless!

Ray of Inspirology: Russian Dolls

After seeing this editorial, I would love to have Karlie Kloss as my Russian doll too!

This spread is shot by Tim Walker and it is featured in the latest issue of UK Vouge. The artistic direction is great (props to Kate Phelan) and I am so happy to see the golden coat from Alexander McQueen to make its appearance in this stunning series. As many of you may know, I am usually not a fan of blurry images but this one just works for me.

Ray of Inspirology: Dior F/W 2010 Womenswear Promotion Campaign Part 2

Finally, more Dior promotion campaign photos have surfaced online and I am madly in love with this artistic approach!

In case you have not seen the first promotion photo, this series is shot by Steven Meisel featuring model Karlie Kloss. The series continues to have the gothic element in it and at some point, I feel like I am looking at a Pirates of the Caribbean high fashion ads (Galliano can think about doing a collaboration with Disney). Now I wonder if there will be more on the way.

Ray of Inspirology: Aquascutum F/W 2010 Promotion Campaign

While I am still waiting for more photos from this campaign, I cannot resist of not talking about this particular photo from the set.

This campaign is shot by Willy Vanderperre featuring Karlie Kloss, Matt Benstead, Jacob Coupe and Tristan Knight. I like the background of the composition of this ad especially the "sky" is creating a mysterious mood for this campaign. Being the only girl in the campaign, for some reasons, Karlie is actually gives me a masculine feeling here. I am looking forward to see more photos from this series and hope they will live up to my expectation.

Ray of Inspirology: First Look

This is another editorial to showcase the best F/W pieces from each fashion house.

In the latest issue of UK Vogue, Karmen Pedaru and Karlie Kloss are chosen to to wear those amazing fashion pieces and the spread is shot by Daniel Jackson. Out of all the photos here, I am especially attracted to the McQueen and Louis Vuitton ones. These 2 photos just give me a very bouncy feeling and will cheer me up when I look at them.

My question to you is, which photo in this spread is your favorite?
