Kate Moss (and That Wacky Little VooDoo Doll) For Alexander McQueen by Steven Klein.

With bright yellow hair, lots of cuffs and clutching a doll in her likeness, Kate Moss is the star of the 2014 Spring Summer ad campaign for Alexander McQueen - her first time appearing in ads for the brand. Shot by the fabulous Steven Klein, the images are accompanied by a short film (shown further down in the post), also directed by the photographer.

In the majority of the dark and moody photos, Kate is clutching a 3D printed doll in her own likeness, who is wearing her own miniature versions of the Alexander McQueen fashions and in some of the shots, is stuck with pins.

I have opted to brighten up the following cropped details a lot so you can see them:

The print ads, as running (brightness not altered), in the campaign:

and a close up of those amazing shoes:

and now, brightened up by me so you can actually see them:

The four and a half minute film, directed and shot by Steven Klein, was inspired by the 1960 British thriller Peeping Tom, stars the 40 year old Moss and was shot in East London:

Fashion You Can Sink Your Teeth Into. Moschino's 2014 Flavorful Fall Winter Collection by Jeremy Scott.

Whether you call it Fashion with Flavor or Culinary Couture, the 2014 Fall Winter RTW collection from Italian brand Moschino has zero trans fats and lots of humor. Processed and packaged goods are turned into couture gowns and dresses, McDonald's and Milk are the inspiration for suits, handbags and shoes. In his typically irreverent style Jeremy Scott's designs mock the fast food industry while still maintaining stunning silhouettes.

Although these designs are only part of the collection (Sponge Bob and blinged out prize-fighters clad in leather make up the rest), they are a commentary on society and mass consumerism that pokes fun at everything from packaged chips, Cheetos and popcorn to Tutti-Frutti candies and Gummi bears. French Fry mobile phones, Golden Arches sunglasses and Moschino branded milk shakes accompanied the models as they strutted down the runway.

The Moschino McDonalds Phone Cover as well as some other items from this collection (shown at the end of this post) are available online as a special Capsule collection:
