FACE OF: LANA DEL REY FOR H&M

Lana Del Rey is the new face of H&M’s Fall 2012 campaign, shot by the elusive Inez & Vinoodh. The campaign features the singer in 60s hair and make up wearing a multitude of pastel shades, monochrome tones, and autumnal splatters. Look out for this in October after an H&M-styled music video of the singer premieres in September by Johan Renck, in which she sings the pop standard “Blue Velvet”. Erm I’ll take both sweaters, the paint splattered trousers, the monochrome jacket and dress, and possibly the peach trousers too!

 

KRISTEN STEWART TO BE FACE OF NEW BALENCIAGA FRAGRANCE

The fashionably and socially awkward Kristen Stewart is set to be the face of the new Balenciaga fragrance for women. The actress follows Charlotte Gainsbourg who has represented Balenciaga Paris, the first fragrance, since 2010.  Creative Director of Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière says ”Kristen Stewart embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence. From her early appearance in ‘Panic Room’ to her independent choice of ‘Welcome to the Rileys,’ I’ve always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga.

“I love Balenciaga fashion because it is incredibly bold and forceful, yet feminine and sexy. I found there was a real creative freedom about this project. I feel blessed and really proud of being the face of this new fragrance.” Kristen Stewart

Personally I don’t see it, I’m looking forward to seeing the campaign shots and I sincerely hope she surprises me. What do you think???
