Julia Saner

>> Prabal Gurung's moodily undone Fall 2011 collection was inspired by two darkly-romantic characters — John Singer Sargent’s A Parisian Beggar Girl and Miss Havisham of Great Expectations — so it's no wonder that these recently-released images capture that same feeling of tragic loveliness. Featuring a windswept Julia Saner, and photographed by Daniel Jackson, these images won't ever see the light of print, but instead are meant to serve as a well-timed, online-only reminder. "We wanted a way to re-excite our customers and the digital arena while the collection was hitting floors. Collections are sent down the runway and by the time they are available for purchase people tend to forget how a dress moved or why a particular silhouette spoke to them a few months back," explained the designer.

>> Crystal Renn is following up her Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier campaigns last season with another campaign one-two punch for Spring 2011: Jimmy Choo and the newly-released DSquared2 set, in which she is joined by Anna Maria Jagodzinska, Sun Fei Fei, Hailey Clauson, and Monika Sawicka. Put that together with the new Missoni Spring 2011 ads, which feature the Missoni family along with Leighton Meester and social personalities like Tatiano Santo Domingo and Camilla Al Fayed, Freja Beha Erichsen's Valentino ads, a first look at Mariacarla Boscono for Loewe, and Sarah Burton's first Alexander McQueen campaign featuring Lindsey Wixson, and you've got the sum whole of the latest Spring 2011 ad campaigns.

>> We caught you up on all the newly-broken Spring 2011 ad campaigns this morning, but two more first looks have appeared since: Valentino and Marc by Marc Jacobs. David Sims captured Julia Saner, Freja Beha Erichsen, and Caroline Brasch Nielsen (although images of the latter two have not yet surfaced) in black and white at Valentino’s Place Vendome headquarters; and Juergen Teller did the honors as usual for Marc by Marc Jacobs, pairing Ginta Lapina with androgynous male model Andrej Pejic (Pejic appears with another blonde — Karolina Kurkova — in the yet-to-be-seen Spring 2011 Jean Paul Gaultier campaign).

>> For Pre-Fall 2011, Thakoon Panichgul focused on minimal cuts with maximum punch. The collection, which Panichgul described as "soft still, but cleaner" showed off a mix styles including sheer, printed, and monochromatic looks. “The language here is softer, there’s a cleaner drape and cleaner softness,” said Panichgul. “I like the idea of matchy-matchy,” he added. And apparently, the color palette was inspired by a piece of patent leather: “It was quite strong. The idea came from shoes.”
