Spring 2010 ad campaigns

>> On Monday, Alexander Wang is launching his first ad campaign — but it won't be found in magazines.  Instead, posters featuring Hannah Holman photographed by Daniel Jackson and celebrating Wang's Spring 2010 T collection, which hits his e-commerce site that day, will be plastered all over downtown Manhattan. They will be replenished once a week for four weeks. “The [images] were originally only supposed to be posters we were going to send to editors and stores,” said Wang. “But I felt the energy was much more appropriate for something like guerrilla marketing than anything too proper or formal. Because T is really the core foundation of what Alexander Wang stands for, I thought it should be something that could be much more democratic.”

He's also got a jewelry collaboration in the works »

>> Raquel Zimmermann, 30 Snakes the Faces of Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 —As the New York Times noted yesterday, a number of Spring 2010 ads feature models lying down on the job — among them, Georgia May Jagger for Versace, Monika "Jac" Jagaciak for Calvin Klein, Lara Stone for Louis Vuitton.  Well, add one more to the mix: Nick Knight shot Raquel Zimmermann wrapped in more than 30 snakes for Alexander McQueen's Spring 2010 campaign — and you guessed it: she's lying down.

>> Tom Ford Casts A Single Man Star for Spring 2010 Eyewear Campaign —Tom Ford definitely has his favorites — he gave his perpetual campaign model Jon Kortajarena a role in A Single Man, and now he's switched gears and cast one of the film's stars, Nicholas Hoult, in his Spring 2010 eyewear campaign.  Hoult joins Carolyn Murphy in front of Ford's lens.

>> Dree Hemingway scored three top campaigns for the Spring 2010 season — Gianfranco Ferre, Valentino, and Jean Paul Gaultier (styled by Carine Roitfeld), natch.  But perhaps less known is that for every one of those only-girl campaigns, she also wrapped three small film parts last year.

Her acting portfolio now includes a bit part in My Suicide, a "teen coming-of-age romantic dramedy about a media-obsessed geek and the most beautiful and twisted girl in school," in which she plays "Christian Girl #2." The movie, out in the United States Feb. 1, features mom Mariel Hemingway in one of the main roles.  She also plays "School Girl #1" in Privileged, starring Twilight's Nikki Reed.  Her largest role, as "Kristi," comes in The Truth About Angels, about "an ordinary guy [who] escapes his turbulent home life when he is invited to an exclusive Hollywood party by his movie star friend, only to discover that there's more to the glamorous world than meets the eye."

>> First Look: Lindsay Wixson for Miu Miu Spring 2010 —Miucca Prada broke the pattern last season, casting a bevy of models for the Fall 2009 Miu MIu campaign after seasons and seasons of stars and starlets.  For Spring 2010, she stuck with models again, albeit just one — the polarizing, beestung-lipped Lindsey Wixson, who closed the Miu Miu show and was captured for the campaign in London last month.
