Agyness Deyn for Uniqlo


Agyness Deyn has been hired to be the face of Jil Sander's line for Uniqlo, the photos above are previews that will be used in select magazines in the US and UK. I actually don't love the clothes but the pictures themselves are nice, and Deyn looks great. The campaign will feature Deyn alongside Halle Berry's boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry. I guess in this picture they figured that the clothes aren't that cute and they might as well take the "Abercrombie and Fitch" method of advertising and use nude, attractive, suggestive model. Is that seriously a pink terry cloth short sleeved zip up they are trying to sell? I think I owned that same item, but I was 11. And clearly had great taste. I also shopped at Abercrombie... Maybe they actually are trying to appeal to that audience?

Vintage Ads



Nothing gets me more excited than some good old-fashioned pop art (aka schnazzy atomic age magazine ads). If you're looking to kill some time and have a love of Arrow shirts, Sanka coffee, and Chevrolets, check out Plan 59. It's a fun online database of ads from the 40s, 50s and 60s, with enough kitsch and Cold War flare to justify a jump in the Mad Men direction.
