One thing the third trimester of pregnancy has certainly done for me is create a little more time. And that time I am now filling with food, furniture painting and of course, fashion blogging! Not a bad way too live I must admit, perhaps minus a horrific case of baby-brain; so without further ado...
The topic we're all talking about, everyone's scribbling over and newspapers are going nuts for.
It's our favourite cocktail for a fashion collaboration of cool off the catwalk models and designer.
The ingredients are as follows,
Calvin Klein Jeans
Justin O'shea
Michael Avedon
and of course, you can't have an iconic Klein capsule without a little Moss-appeal, but this time, no ones thinking about Kate.
Back in 1992 Kate Moss was shot for the campaign by Herb Ritts and catapulted into the spotlight as the Heroin Chic Super you could find in a pair of boyfriend jeans and a Calvin crop top. Over a decade later, her younger sister Lottie Moss is following in her siblings footsteps and taking the fashion world by storm one bambi like limb at a time! And ironically, even the photographer is following from within the family with Michael Avedon (son of Richard Avedon who shot model Brooke Shields for Calvin Klein also back in the early 90's) being the man behind the lens for Lottie's 'Re-Issue' with the Fashion House.
Moss, Avedon and co have been called in to almost re-launch the iconic spread for the collaboration between Klein and online hub Mytheresa.com entitled; The Re-Issue Project.
With the capsule's campaign reminiscing the Moss Boyfriend Jean, Calvin Klein sweatshirt, Brooke Shields skinny jeans and 'those' denim jackets. Of course all being heavily branded with iconic CK logo, it's no surprise it's all been approached so personally.
Some people may criticise that it's a little cliché to have a sister-act scenario on such a scale, but personally, those people are talking total tripe. When Kate met Klein and that relationship was put in front of the camera a seriously high standard for clothing campaigns was set, and who better to challenge that than her own flesh and blood.
Lottie Moss, at the just-so age of 16 is who Avedon is quoting as someone that "truly represents the essence of the Calvin Klein girl," and I must agree with him. The soft skin, 'those' cheekbones, bambi like frame and intriguing English rose features just fit the all American label like a glove, or jeans in this instance. It is almost like History is happening for today's tomorrow instead of back in yesterday's decade!
You can understand why buying director of Mytheresa.com; Justin O'shea is so chuffed over their collaboration with the company for this almost re-revolutionised campaign.
Looks like it's been a promising start for the Moss that is Lottie.
