Longchamp: Fall 2015

The ubiquitous fashion IT-girl Alexa Chung stars once again in this season's Longchamp campaign. This is the fourth collaboration between Chung and Longchamp, and for good reason: Chung personifies the classic, modern sophistication and modest charm synonymous with the brand's aesthetic.

Photographed by Max Vadukul in Wynwood, Miami, this campaign continues to highlight the significance of art in Longchamp's legacy as not only is the set of the campaign based in an art

gallery neighborhood, but the collection held inspiration from the renowned Memphis Group.

Longchamp has a long history of collaborating with and supporting a multitude of designers and artists such as Sarah Morris, Mary Katrantzou, Jeremy Scott, Tracey Emin and Thomas Heatherwick among many. I look forward to many collaborations to come.

Balenciaga Fall 2015

The Balenciaga collection and campaign is my favorite of the season.

The Fall 2015 Balenciaga collection by Alexander Wang heralded some of the house's most powerful statement pieces; the rounded, bulky shouldered jackets, the asymmetrically slit skirts, heavy woolens and tweeds paired with form-fitting fabrics and particularly edgy cigarette pants; statements mastered by Wang's predecessor, Nicolas Ghesquiere.

The campaign this season, photographed by the ever brilliant Steven Klein perfectly epitomizes the Balenciaga aesthetic;  masterful, modern, stark, mysterious. Starring Kate Moss and Lara Stone, the campaign balances their bold features and the starkness of the setting, creating an air of mystery and elegance.
