Ray of Inspirology: Gucci F/W 2012 Campaign

Mert and Marcus is once again the photographer duo responsible for the Gucci campaign and it features Karmen Pedaru, Nadja Bender, and Lenz Von Johnston. I really like the classiness of this campaign and the flower petals in one particular shot has really reflected what this collection is about (feminine, classy and elegant). What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Gucci Pre-Fall 2012 Promotion Campaign

Gucci pre fall campaign has finally arrived and the models are Abbey Lee Kershaw, Karmen Pedaru, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Greg Nawrat and Lenz Von Johnston. This time around, I find there is a very strong countryside vibe in these images. Can you imagine yourself going camping wearing something from this collection (well of course you are staying in cabins, not tents)?

Ray of Inspirology: Bottega Veneta S/S 2012 Campaign

The main idea for this campaign is: Simple is key.

Jack Pierson shoots the Bottega Veneta S/S 2012 campaign and it features Karmen Pedaru, Liya Kebede, Alex Cunha. There is nothing really fancy in this shoot (except the clothes) and I like the setting a lot. The campaign generally has a very natural feeling which I think is a good thing, at least this shows sometimes you don't need to make the photos surreal in order to consider them as high fashion photos.

Ray of Inspirology: Last Night

How to use blind effectively in editorial? Hedi Slimane has an answer for you.

The talented photographer has his new editorial on Vogue Paris and it features Karmen Pedaru. Just like Hedi's usual style, the photos are dark, bold and edgy. The blind has created a very cool lighting effect on the photos and I am very impressed by this technique. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Paradis Bleu

Sun, beach, blue sky, pretty model in blue outfits and J. Lo. Ok, scratch the last one, but I can tell you this editorial will be more interesting if you are listening to J. Lo latest single.

This editorial is shot by Cedric Buchet for the latest issue of Vogue Paris and it features Karmen Pedaru. The whole series has this summer breezy vibe and the location is perfect. Karmen looks very sexy in all the blue outfits (props to Anastasia Barbieri) and I really cannot find a bad thing to say about this editorial. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: The Look Says It All

Whenever Anna Dello Russo is the stylist, you know that the editorial will be good.

In the latest issue of Vogue Nippon, Karmen Pedaru is shot by Giampaolo Sgura and the editorial is very interesting. I really like the big wig on Karmen and with Anna Dello Russo flawless fashion sense, every piece of clothing in this editorial just complement one another. I am also loving all the decorations on the head, those designs are simply brilliant! To sum up this shoot, fresh and playful are the two words I can come up with instantly. What do you think?

Ray of Inspirology: Gucci S/S 2011 Promotion Campaign

It looks like Gucci has developed a particular style for the promotion campaign.

Gucci has recently released a series of photos for the S/S 2011 campaign and it features Joan Smalls, Karmen Pedaru and Hailey Clauson. Mert and Marcus is once again responsible for the shoot so you may find this set to have the same style as the previous collection. The series still have the Mert and Marcus signature color treatment and because of the color effect, the photos give a very glamour and classy feeling to the viewers.

Do you want to see this style of campaign again for next season?

Here are my favorites.

Ray of Inspirology: Emporio Armani F/W 2010 Womenswear Promotion Campaign

Love this!

The new Emoprio Armani promotion campaign is taking my eyes on a fun roller coaster ride! The photos are shot by Mario Sorrenti and today I am going to show you the womenswear set. The model here is Karmen Pedaru and she looks so chic with the Emporio Armani clothes on. The smoke effects has enhanced the mood for this series and I can't wait to see the ads in magazines!

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?

Ray of Inspirology: Befallen by pink

Every photo in this series is associated with the color pink and I like the theme a lot.

This editorial is featured in the latest issue of Numero Tokyo which is done by David Vasiljevic with model Karman Pedaru. I like the angle David uses in this spread to showcase the strongest features of Karman. The photos are sharp, edgy but at the same time has a dreamy feeling to it.
