Spring/Summer Campaigns 2014. #SS14

firstly, I'd like to begin with Happy New year. 2013 was a fantastic year for me... A year full of excitement and opportunity.

Flash forward now as we begin to look into Spring/Summer 2014, it never fails to baffle me when I think of how fast the fashion cycle moves after watching the London & Milan Menswear collections this week for AW14.

I've decided to compile some of my favourite campaigns for the upcoming season, so you can get a feel for brands to look out for and have tickled my editorial taste buds. Here we go...

 This is probably one of my favourite campaigns for 2014. Brazilian model, Marlon Teixeira, stars in this beautifully simple campaign for DSQUARED2 is very well done. I think the thick white border is very effective an frames the action of the image superbly.

 I find this image so bold and bright. The KRISVANASSCHE campaign is wonderful and angular, I think the print works so effectively with the angle and poses of the models. Beautiful imagery and I advise checking out the whole campaign.

GUESS Jeans enlists Gui Fedrizzi for their SS14 campaign. Not usually my cup of tea for editoiral, the shoot itself is everything cliché about a spring/summer campaign, but I like the styling, lighting and there's nothing more I love than the beach.

Cara's back at Mulberry (Yay) and there was many an image I could have chosen to show you. The campaign is very sweet as a geek I automatically think of the chapter in the Hobbit and Beron's table set up by animals in the forest. But when I think with my fashion brain the romantic contraption of a mad hatters tea party seems more fitting. I love the romanticism.

Hardly surprising Sean O'Pry has landed himself a campaign for SS14. As one of the highest paid male models in the world, his dashing looks and darting blue eyes have never failed him previously. In true Mert & Marcus fashion, popping colours and detailed imagery make a complimentary effort to the summer tones.

 Yes. (Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes). Marc Jacobs new Muse, Miley looks great in this new campaign! What is the story? A picture with a thousand words, I have shown this to a few people and everyone has a different idea of what this means. This is the meaning of a great campaign.

 I'm not sure why I like it so much, but I do. The image presents uniformity and I like the fact it doesn't live up to a typical Spring/Summer campaign (Not a beach insight). High school reunion?

 Sex Sells? I think this is the approach to Steven Kein and Alexander Wang. Raunchy, Inappropriate, Scandalous... These are just a few things I've heard when 'Flashing' this image around the office. Well, at least one thing is clear... It does what it says on the t-shirt?

Dolce & Gabbana's boys are back in the game. The usual suspects of Adam Senn, Noah Mills, Evandro Soldati & Tony Ward take up their roles as 'brothers' as the Italian Family story continues. I will be honest though.. This is the only image I like.
