Drew Jarrett | RUSSH ALL MY FRIENDS Raw, free, feeling it. Photographer Drew Jarrett is taking us back to the golden years with Moss and Valletta, Tennant and Sorrenti.

Jarrett was a hairstylist who was spending every spare minute behind the lens of his Rolleiflex camera. He had reached the top of his profession in hair, working on magazine editorials that to this day remain among the most referenced of the past few decades, including photographer Corinne Day’s iconic 3rd Summer of Love story for The like fashion’s best dressed rock stars on an and Amber Valletta are among the familiar and not overthinking the approach,” he the transition to photography without that led to erratic frame spacing – thus Face, which captured a 16-year-old Kate, eternal global tour. “It was a great time,” faces pictured alongside a scrapbook-style says.

Then there is 2017’s Guinevere, a photo book dedicated to cult model Guinevere Van Seenus. Like 1994, this volume sets a course led by that same documentary-style aesthetic Jarrett individualised some twenty-plus years ago. Still, Jarrett knows as well as anyone that change can be a powerful, provocative, electrifying thing. He concedes it is a matter of striking the right balance. “While I’ve worked to keep my style all this time and have pushed with keeping the same approach and sensibilities for my personal and commercial work, I’m interested in the change and am constantly looking at “I try to capture honesty, trying to push my own art, dance, light, shapes, listening to music [for inspiration],” he says. “I try to capture boundaries from the last images I’ve taken – evolving, honesty, trying to push my own boundaries moving on, and always trying to keep the innocence ...” from the last images I’ve taken – evolving, moving on, and always trying to keep the innocence and right composition with the lines, always with something slightly off from what may be more of the norm.” These days you’ll find Jarrett in New York, the city he has called home for the past 16 years. The Rolleiflex and broken Pentacon Six are long gone and a Leica M6 now takes pride of place as the photographer’s camera of choice. When talking about the future, Jarrett mentions publishing a run of photo books – personal projects featuring prints dating back to the mid-90s. He also touches briefly on the possibility of one day realising a longstanding dream – “To be a filmmaker and to make great movies for the Cannes Film Festival.” But for the moment, Jarrett seems happy to stay just a little while longer in the memory of those formative years, his gaze cast fondly upon the photographs that so perfectly document a time that early captures invoke a heady state in Jarrett’s backyard breathing in the same for him was “more free, less restricted, of nostalgia – at once comforting and tobacco-tinged air. with little thought to constraints and the melancholic, familiar yet ever so slightly It is an approach that has served Jarrett realities of life”.

Bundchen, the world’s top- earning model, made her final sashay down the runway at Sao Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW), the same event where she made her debut 20 years ago. She opened and closed the show for Brazilian label Colcci, bringing full circle a runway career that launched her to stardom. In the first row were fami- ly and friends she invited including her parents and American football star husband Tom Brady. Bundchen, 34, appeared calm and smiled. The whole show took about 20 minutes. But when a crowd of men and women models strode out in jeans and white T-shirts with her image on them, she stayed composed for a bit before bursting into tears. Bundchen hugged friends and waved to well- wishers. The Brazilian bombshell announced last month she was retiring from runway modeling, saying she wanted to spend more time with husband New England Patriots quarterback Brady, and their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. She also told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo: “My body she’s at the height of her powers.

  • Kate Moss Or the Girl Next Door? — the Effectiveness of Cosmetics Advertising
    Journal of Advertising Research Vol. 52, No. 1, 2012 www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com Take Your Pick: Kate Moss or the Girl Next Door? — The Effectiveness of Cosmetics Advertising Michael Antioco EMLYON Business School Dirk Smeesters Rotterdam School of Management Aline Le Boedec Finaref INTRODUCTION Marketing literature is replete with evidence of the positive effects of using attractive communicators and models on opinion change, product evaluation, and brand perception and recall (Baker and Churchill, 1977; Joseph, 1982). It has been demonstrated that physically attractive communicators are more liked than plain or unattractive communicators. By extension, if a person has a positive attitude toward a communicator, she or he will evaluate that communicator’s message in positive terms (Joseph, 1982). The use of attractive communicators to increase advertising effectiveness seems to be appropriate. It appears, however, that many marketers have decided to apply this idea at its extreme. Often, models in advertising represent highly idealized images of physical attractiveness. This is especially true when considering the models’ body-mass index given increasing obesity in Western societies (Chandon and Wansink, 2007). In a March 2010 issue, the Guardian asked, “Why Are Models Still So Thin?” Some runway models presenting Riccardo Tisci, Dolce & Gabbana—and others representing Prada’s Miu Miu autumn/winter ready-to-wear collection—looked skeletal. Yet, models are a mirror for many young women and, most agree, should project an image of beauty and health rather than offer the perception of encouraging eating disorders. Moreover, it recently seems that not all marketers have agreed that such idealized images of physical attractiveness are the best way to increase advertising effectiveness.

This indicates not only the museum’s burgeoning interest in other cultural forms but the acceptance of fashion photography into specific art contexts. This thesis examines two recent exhibitions of contemporary fashion photography: “Fashioning Fiction in Photography Since 1990” at the Museum of Modern Art (April 16- June 28, 2004), the first exhibition of fashion photography at a major North American museum of art, and “Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now” at the International Center of Photography (January 16, 2009-May 3, 2009).

  • 150 Brands Have Joined Emmanuel Macron's “Fashion Pact” to Make
    150 Brands Have Joined Emmanuel Macron’s “Fashion Pact” to Make the Fashion Industry More Sustainable AUGUST 26 , 2 019 1:4 3 PM by EMILY FARRA In July, Amber Valletta partnered with Stella McCartney and Extinction Rebellion to broadcast an urgent message about climate change. A cursory Google search for this weekend’s G7 summit pulls up headlines largely dominated by President Trump’s behavior: At Saturday’s dinner, he insisted the group reinstate Russia, which was removed from the then-G8 in 2014; he made several conflicting statements about the China tariffs; and on and on. But there’s some news that’s actually worth talking about: namely, that French president Emmanuel Macron (who hosted this year’s summit) debuted his new Fashion Pact, a set of shared objectives the fashion industry can work toward to reduce its environmental impact. This comes three months after Kering chair and CEO François-Henri Pinault revealed he’d been selected by Macron to establish those objectives and assemble a “coalition” of brands at the Copenhagen Fashion Summit. Right off the bat, PVH (which owns Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger) signed on, and at this weekend’s summit, Macron reported that 32 companies (and roughly 150 brands) have joined thus far. The Pact is noteworthy for many reasons. For starters, it’s a first-of-its- kind initiative that’s uniting the biggest names in fashion, many of whom are known competitors. Back in Copenhagen, Pinault explained: “Despite what we’re doing [to reduce our impact alone], things are not moving. We really need to define targets together.

Tonight we are honored to serve as presenting sponsors and celebrate the 17th anniversary of our partnership with the Environmental Media Association. Over the past 17 years, we’ve helped honor the thought leaders that inspire millions to lead more environmentally conscious lives.

After all these years, we are still inspired by EMA’s efforts to promote environmental awareness using the powerful medium of entertainment. Tonight we’ve brought an inspiring vehicle line up to the party. The 2017 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle returns to the green carpet. As one of the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles, the Toyota Mirai is a four-door, mid- size sedan with performance that fully competes with traditional internal combustion engines – but uses no gasoline. Instead, Mirai creates electricity on demand using hydrogen, oxygen and a fuel cell, and emits nothing but water vapor in the process. Lexus is excited to showcase its all-new hybrid luxury sedan, the LS 500h. With smooth power and an estimated 33 miles per gallon on the highway, it has a range of more than 600 miles of luxurious driving.

  • NYC Fashion Giants Featured in Exhibit Curated by Two Israelis | the Times of Israel
    9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel RUNWAY STORY NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis ‘New York Fashion Rediscovered’ spotlights treasure trove of photographs of designers and supermodels discovered on a New York City sidewalk By JESSICA STEINBERG Today, 3:55 pm Fashion models and their muses at 'New York Fashion Rediscovered,' a new exhibit created by two Israelis in New York City's Time Square, just in time for 2019 Fashion Week (Courtesy ZAZ10TS) It took two Israelis in New York City — one gallery owner and one curator — to put together an exhibit of historic fashion photographs that had been discovered on a city sidewalk. The exhibit, “New York Fashion Rediscovered 1982-1997,” opened September 5, at 10 Times Square, coinciding with New York Fashion Week. The exhibit brings to life a vivid period in the New York City fashion industry, when designers began creating high- end day and evening wear, as well as power dressing for women in the workforce. Fashion designers and supermodels achieved celebrity status, and the celebrated moments of the runway shows were their finales, when designers would walk down the runway, arm-in-arm with the leading supermodels of the day. Those joyous moments are what was preserved in the fashion-loving photographs of the collection. The fashion stars featured in the photographs included designers Anna Sui, Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Perry Ellis, Isaac Mizrahi, Alber Elbaz, Anne Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Rebecca Moses, BCBG Max Azria, Linda Allard for Ellen Tracy, Adrienne Vittadini, and Gemma Kahng, and models Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, https://www.timesofisrael.com/nyc-fashion-giants-featured-in-historic-exhibit-curated-by-two-israelis/ 1/3 9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, and Kristen McMenamy.
