“There are three focuses in viewing each image: the background, color element, and model. We wanted to create an art image as well as an advertising
image, and it was conceived this way. It’s an artistic message full of reference but also unique.”

Esteban Cortazar fall/winter 2014 ad campaign with Valerija Kelava
British/Colombian designer Esteban Cortazar spent his formative years growing up in Miami’s South Beach during the early 1990s. In the summer of 1999, a chance encounter with the late Kal Ruttenstein,Bloomingdale's influential fashion director, would play a pivotal role in launching Cortazar’s career. “He invited me to his office to show him mysketches and brought me along with him to the shows in New York,” says Cortazar of Ruttenstein, who in 2002 featured the designer’s debut collection in the windows of Bloomingdale’s flagship store. “It was a big moment for me, and I will always remember what Kal did that day,” adds Cortazar, who at 18 became the youngest designer to show during New York Fashion Week. He soon attracted the attention of other noted retailers such as Neiman Marcus and Henri Bendel, as well as the support of Vogue, ELLE and WWD. “I’ve always been inspired by my heritage, especially living in Miami at a time when Latin music, art and design were making an impact on mainstream culture,” notes Cortazar, who in 2006 was inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
In 2007, at the age of 23, Cortazar moved to Paris to become the creative director of the house of Emanuel Ungaro. “I was lucky to have worked in the couture atelier with many of the same seamstresses who had been with Mr. Ungaro, which made the experience all the more magical,” recalls Cortazar, who received critical acclaim during his tenure at the house before his departure in 2009, when he decided to remain in Paris to concentrate on his own line. “There is something about Paris that challenges one intellectually, and it was here that I matured as a designer and learnt to refine my craft.”
Over the next seven years Cortazar worked quietly in Paris to build a unique vision for his house; one fusing his Latin heritage with a distinctly modern and feminine approach to dressing. “I wanted to create luxurious clothes that speak to cosmopolitan women around the world. It is a very personal vision; one that empowers women by making them feel beautiful and seductive at any age,” notes the designer, who re-launched his label in 2012 with his Spring/Summer capsule collection for Net-a-Porter. The success of this unique collaboration led to a second collection for the online luxury retailer for Fall/Winter 2014, one that inspired Cortazar to rethink the way he presents his line to both retailers and the press. “I’m interested in exploring the future of fashion, and I decided to make my collections available in stores shortly after presenting them,” explains the designer who continues to grow his brand thanks to the financial backing of London-based MH Holding. “This investment not only gives us the opportunity to pursue worldwide distribution, but to also build a unique fashion house here in Paris composed of a talented team of creative individuals who are part of the Esteban Cortazar family.”

Louis Vuitton - fall 2014 ad campaign, celebrating the 160th monogram's anniversary. Saskia de Brauw photographed by Colin Dodgson based in New York. Editor, Carine Roitfeld. More info about the LV Monogram here below and via the official page of LV.
The Monogram history
In 1854, Louis Vuitton founded his House. In 1896 his son, Georges Vuitton, created The Monogram in honour of his late father. An icon was born. The Monogram was revolutionary when it appeared. This most particular and personal of signatures was instantly transformed into a universal symbol of modernity in the hands of Georges Vuitton: it is one of the first exercises in elevated branding and a defining sign of a global culture to come.
In 1965 Gaston-Louis Vuitton, recounted how his father, Georges, had created the motifs on The Monogram canvas: ‘First of all, the initials of the company – LV – are interlaced in such a way as to remain perfectly legible. Then a diamond. To give a specific character to the shape, he made the sides concave with a four-petal flower in the centre. Then the extension of this flower in a positive image. Finally, a circle containing a flower with four rounded petals.’
The Monogram is now recognised globally as a defining signature, both literally and metaphorically, of the House of Louis Vuitton. As it has travelled through time, certain of its features and meanings remain the same. Blurring the boundaries between craftsmanship, art and design, Louis Vuitton has repeatedly embraced the notions of innovation, collaboration and daring throughout The Monogram’s history.
It is within this context that Louis Vuitton’s ‘Celebrating Monogram’ project appears this year. It is a collection of works that shows the distinctly personal side of the Monogram; re-presenting something we think we all know in an extraordinary, individual and idiosyncratic way. Six creative iconoclasts – the best in their individual fields – who blur the lines between fashion, art, architecture and product design, have been given carte blanche to dictate and make whatever they see fit in the patterned canvas.
Echoing the special Louis Vuitton centenary collection of 1996 – where Azzedine Alaia, Manolo Blahnik, Romeo Gigli, Helmut Lang, Isaac Mizrahi, Sybilla and Vivienne Westwood contributed individual and distinct designs – for 2014’s collection, the participants have progressed even further. Here, Christian Louboutin, Cindy Sherman, Frank Gehry, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Newson and Rei Kawakubo radically, personally and playfully realise an unparalleled collection.
In many ways it means The Monogram has come full circle: looking at its handcrafted roots once more, its direct connection to a person, its daring and genre defying audacity and, above all, its journey into the future for Louis Vuitton. This is a collection that is both universal and personal, and in the cherished traditions of the house, once again defies expectations."

Gucci - cruise 2015 ad campaign by mert & marcus.
Flora prints, Bamboo handle, mature leather are the main materials of this cruise 2015 collection photographed by the duo Mert & Marcus. "For the Cruise 2015 season, Creative Director Frida
Giannini has collaborated with artist Kris Knight on a reworking of the most iconic Gucci print. Flora takes on new meaning in Kris Knight’s subversive reading of the floral bouquet – featuring
nocturnal blossoms revolving around the moonflower. Symbolic blooms – each with a unique Roman story – reach their height at night, dawn or dusk."
Kris Knight said, “For my Flora reinterpretation, I wanted to create a painting that paid homage to Accornero’s delicate original by utilizing his symmetrical composition but to create a strong,
feminine, magical and quietly dangerous Flora of my own. I referenced ancient pagan Rome, picking plants that women of this time used to command power".

The Portuguese footwear industry exports more than 95% of its production to the most demanding international markets. In order to allow the sector to continue to take firm steps in a competitive international environment, the APICCAPS, a national business association, with the support of the Compete Programme, has taken various measures to promote Portuguese footwear. A campaign symbol for Portuguese shoes was developed using the slogan Portuguese Shoes: Designed by the Future. The image promotes a mark of quality and seeks to establish Portuguese Shoes as a sophisticated innovation. As a result of this strategy, footwear exports have grown more than 20% in the past years. Portuguese shoes & Apiccaps association were honored in 2013 with the European entreprise promotion award prize for this great work. Today it's time to discover the visuals & the promotional video (here below) for The portuguese Shoes 2015 campaign.
