Selling: Victoria, Victoria Beckham by Quentin Jones


The video for Posh's lower price lined Victoria, is darling full of great stop-motion tricks. But what really works about the video is how it highlights those flattering silhouettes, that tasty pastel color palette and those whimsical prints.

Selling: Mia for Miu Miu


Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is best know for playing the classic heroines Alice in Wonderland and Jane Eyre, as well as Annette Benning and Julianne Moore's teenage daughter in The Kids Are All Right, but her greatest role so far may be as the face of Miu Miu's Spring 2012 campaign. The photos capture a bit of the collection's dark romance. More after the jump.

Selling: Gucci Spring 2012 is Solid Gold


Gucci's Spring 2012 collection was one of the house's strongest in many a season, with its fringed 1920s flapper dresses, art-deco shapes, and disco sensibility. The ads perfectly embody the collections sense of graphic, high glamour luxury. Photographed with luster by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. See more of the shiny pics after the jump.

Selling: Striking in Jil Sander


Raf Simmons collections for Jil Sander always bring Hitchcock to mind, and his spring 2012 collection was no exception. The cinematic ads shot by Willy Vanderperre, make the connection feel even stronger. The slightly retro styling is reminiscent of Hitchcock's underrated 1964 thriller Marnie. See more after the jump.

Selling: Mila Kunis for Dior


Actress Mila Kunis follows in the footsteps of Sharon Stone, Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, and Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman as the new face of Dior. Kunis is certainly a pretty girl, but her photos seem to lack the glamour and drama that Marion Cotillard brought to the house. Check out another pic after the jump.

Selling: Valentino's Ethereal Ladies

Valentino has long been a go-to label for lady-like design, and the Spring 2012 collection is no exception. The ethereal models roam through ruins in sumptuous gowns and cocktail dresses with artfully braided updos. See more after the jump.

Selling: Hard Candy


Prada's latest fragrances gets a cheeky (pun intended), flirty and fun little ad video. A pink and gold baroque setting, pink Prada panties, a piano, a sexy piano teacher, a classic song, some slight sadomasochism and model Léa Seydoux (who was charming in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris and has appered nude for American Apparel) makes this a naughty little treat.

Selling: Prada makes luxury Sexy and Provocative for Fall 2011 campaign video and Tobey looks geek chic


Steven Meisel has shot a very sensual campaign video for the ultimate name in Italian luxury. The video has a great sense of texture, making the items (particularly the accessories) seem all the more appealing and desirable.


Also, Tobey Maguire has been chosen as the face for the brands Fall 2011 Menswear campaign, and he looks like an adorable dandy hipster. Check out a behind-the-scenes video below.

Selling: Exploding in McQueen


Model Raquel Zimmerman was photographed with an exploding head by David Sims for Alexander McQueen's Fall 2011 campaign. The image is well in line with the brands' reputation for "Savage Beauty" and shows just how well Sarah Burton is caring out her late, great mentor's vision.
