For looking hot in the latest Gucci Guilty Fragrance ad campaign. It was bound to happen when you put two hot stars and Gucci together, right?

KATE LANPHEAR FOR EDDIE BORGO, ‘NOUGH SAID



FASHION  |  By Kristina Bustos  |  July 19th, 2010


When Kate Lanphear isn’t styling at Elle, she’s apparently modeling. We knew she had it in her.

World Wide Web - CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nominee Eddie Borgo could have had his pick from all the top models to wear his hot jewelry for his Fall 2010 online campaign, but the designer chose a friend instead who happens to be Kate Lanphear, Elle‘s style director. And we don’t blame him. Shot by Paul Maffi and styled by Keegan Singh, Kate shows us her best model stare and smirk, giving the ads that devilish allure. Borgo’s launches his new collection on his website today, but do check out after the jump for more Kate being “Phear-ce.” [Style.com]

FASHION  |  By Jared Lowe  |  March 2nd, 2010


Actor James Franco dives into the pool with Gucci for Gucci by Gucci Sport Pour Homme.

World Wide Web - James Franco makes a big splash for Gucci for Gucci Sport Pour Homme cologne. What Frida Giannini said about Franco:  “James Franco is perfect for this fragrance and perfect for Gucci. He personifies the sort of nonchalance and unforced appeal that is most attractive in a man. In the advertising campaign, he captures the fragrance’s casual, modern and masculine air.” Very hot shoot, only complaint: “take the shirt off.” [TowelRoad]

ARMANI EXCHANGE ANGERS ONE MILLION MOMS



FASHION  |  By Kristina Bustos  |  February 10th, 2010


American Family Association’s OneMillionMoms.com speak against Armani Exchange’s latest ad campaign, labeling the ads as “soft porn.”

World Wide Web – Valentine’s Day is this weekend and Armani Exchange is celebrating the day with its “Share the Love” Valentine’s Day campaign that features models portraying same-sex couples. We here on The Blay Report think it’s a great campaign and so do the people at New York Magazine’s The Cut; however, there are parents out there who aren’t too fond of the campaign. OneMillionMoms.com of American Family Association wrote on their website:

Malls, where teens hang out, have retailers whose window displays poison our children with 10-foot posters that are nothing but soft p*rn. In particular, Armani Exchange has recently displayed Valentine’s posters with partially dressed “couples” holding one another. These couples consist of two men, a man and woman, and two women. The women are scantily dressed while it is questionable if the men have any clothes on at all. Two of these models are used a couple of times to represent bis*xuals. If it could get any worse the text written is “SHARE THE LOVE.”

The organization ended their letter telling other moms to take a stand against Armani Exchange and calling the ads “offensive.” Okay, whatever you say OneMillionMoms.com. [The Cut/Armani Exchange]

RAQUEL ZIMMERMANN COVERED IN SNAKES FOR MCQUEEN AD



FASHION  |  By Kristina Bustos  |  January 22nd, 2010


Raquel Zimmerman for McqueenThe 26-years-old Brazilian model poses with snakes for the Alexander McQueen spring 2010 ad, while showing off those ten inches McQueen shoes that had everyone talking.

World Wide Web - Alexander McQueen’s spring 2010 collection in Paris was one of the best shows last year. One of the highlights from the show was his ten inches shoes that seemed only people like Lady Gaga could wear. (In fact she did for her “Bad Romance” music video as she was one of the first people to wear a McQueen spring 2010 ensemble.) The show also opened with a video of model Raquel Zimmermann writhing in the sand with snakes while topless, and now we can see an amazing print version of that video in the label’s spring 2010 ad campaign. Zimmermann, shot by Nick Knight, wears a printed bodysuit and a pair of those shoes, while she is covered with snakes. 30 snakes to be exact. [Fashionologie]

World Wide Web - On Tuesday (Jan. 12) we showed you Megan Fox’s Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign for Emporio Armani. The Transformers star took over Victoria Beckham’s role as the model for Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear and Armani Jeans, but we also know that Vicky’s husband, David Beckham, was the male model for Emporio Armani in 2009. (Remember his famous underwear ad?) Sadly Mr. Beckham  opted not to continue his career as an underwear model. (Emphasis on “sadly” please.) In his replacement is Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo. According to Giorgio Armani, Ronaldo “is the essence of youth — spontaneous, exciting, a real maverick.” Unlike the Beckhams, Fox and Ronaldo will not be posing together in the ads.  After seeing Emporio Armani’s new ads with their new models, what do you think of them, Blaynistas? Hate it or love it?

DABOMB.COM: MEGAN FOX FOR EMPORIO ARMANI UNDERWEAR & ARMANI JEANS



Uncategorized  |  By Jared Lowe  |  January 12th, 2010


Transformers actress Megan Fox has curves and she’s not afraid to use them in new Emporio Armani ads.

World Wide Web– Can I say how much I heart these beautiful black & white (and non-slutaticous) pics of Megan Fox for the new Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear and Armani Jeans ads. Thanks to our friend, Amee, over at Armani we have these lovely photos courtesy of fashion photogs Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Fox, who is stripped down to expose her natural curves in the underwear pics and wears only a white Oxford shirt and damp hair for the jeans ad, exudes a natural beauty I’ve yet seen from her sometimes-overt-vampy image. Bravo Armani for making Meg look less like a vixen and more like the girl next door. Check after the jump for more pics!
