  • Alexander Mcqueen Bottega Veneta Burberry Coach
    This PDF contains original work for my copywriting portfolio. These samples have been written for this sole purpose and have no affiliation to any companies or websites. Alexander McQueen Butterfly Print Silk Scarf “Alexander McQueen may have a reputation for all things gothic, but the British label ​ ​ switches up the formula with this scarf from its SS20 collection. Cut from lightweight silk chiffon with delicate fringed edges, it clashes the usual skull motif with borders of colourful butterflies. Wrap yours around one of the house's studded leather jackets.” Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Wallet “With Daniel Lee heading up its latest collection, Bottega Veneta continues to prove ​ ​ its expertise in leather craftsmanship with accessories like this billfold wallet. Cut from smooth nappa calfskin, it’s covered in the classic geometric squares of the Italian label’s iconic Intrecciato weave. Open it up and you’ll find eight card slots and two note compartments for your cash.” Burberry Thomas Bear Leather Bag Charm “If you’re a fan of Burberry, you’ll know that each season the British label drops a new ​ ​ version of its famous (and impeccably dressed) little teddy charm. This time around, Thomas Bear is reworked in leather with a cotton trench coat and completely covered ​ in the house’s new TB monogram. It’s fitted with a polished lobster clasp fastening to easily clip to your favourite bag.” Coach © Thomas Arthur Charlie Leather Tote “Coach plays up its iconic branding in its SS20 collection with the Charlie tote. Cut from the label’s signature coated canvas, it’s covered with an interlocking monogram print that’s understated enough for the office and detailed with silver-tone hardware.

  • François-Henri Pinault Chair and CEO Kering Dear Mr Pinault
    François-Henri Pinault Chair and CEO Kering Dear Mr Pinault: Greetings from London. I have long been an admirer of your women’s rights work alongside Salma, your astonishing art collection, and your sustainable fashion goals for Kering. As an advocate for PETA since my days on The X-Files, I was delighted when you declared fur “out of fashion” and championed Gucci’s switch to faux fur. Thank you for that. Last month, Kering confirmed that Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen are officially fur-free. I’m writing now to ask respectfully that you enact a company-wide policy and drop fur from Kering’s two remaining holdouts: Saint Laurent and Brioni. Such a policy would mesh perfectly with the environmental objectives of The Fashion Pact. Fur production requires toxic chemicals to keep pelts from decomposing, and fur farms are breeding grounds for disease. COVID-19 spread like wildfire among sick animals on fur farms, requiring governments to bring forward legislation to shut down these cruel and filthy establishments, from which the virus spread to both humans and wild animals. It’s illogical to keep this dwindling, dangerous trade afloat for the sake of the few remaining unscrupulous designers who haven’t yet broken their fur habit. In 2013, you renamed the company “Kering” because it could be “pronounced and understood as ‘caring’” to reflect your personal commitment to making positive changes in the world of fashion. In 2021, please be true to this worthy aim by rejecting fur across the Kering group. I look forward to hearing the good news.

  • Fashion's Autumn/Winter 2014 Ad Campaigns | Financial Times
    04/01/2020, 10:22 Page 1 of 1 Luxury goods Add to myFT Fashion’s autumn/winter 2014 ad campaigns A deconstruction of the industry’s ads for the season reveals a sombre economic mood Share Save David Hayes AUGUST 8 2014 Hemlines may once have been a cute way of monitoring the state of the economy – rather aptly, they are all over the place these days – but nothing gives a snapshot of global hard-currency health better than a flick through the September issues of the world’s glossiest fashion magazines. Landing on newsstands with a reassuringly weighty thud early this month, the current edition of US Vogue has more advertising than any other American fashion or lifestyle magazine, with a whopping 631 ad pages. Yet it is still down 4.5 per cent on last year’s Lady Gaga extravaganza of 665 pages – which in turn was down on the magazine’s peak of 727 pages of ads in 2007. The luxury sector may not have turned an economic corner – yet. And in fashion terms the mood is not exactly upbeat, either: think brown and black set against brutalist concrete architecture (Prada); corseted women hanging around in a drab hotel suite (Dior); and models trapped in a surrealist crazy golf course from hell, wearing equally disturbing knitwear (Kenzo). Yes, advertising matters, not only as a barometer of the spending trends of the fashion world, but also as a tone-setting exercise. The following images are how fashion should look this autumn/winter, straight from the designer’s eye, so take note.
