Antimonide - fashion spot -

For the lingerie brand Princesse Tam-Tam, autumn-winter 2009/10 will be fresh and cheerful. To photograph its collection, Princesse Tam-Tam has called on fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo.
A Norwegian photographer accustomed to fashion magazines, Solve Sundsbo has brought a breath of fresh air to the winter collections of the lingerie label. The theme is ‘Warhol me!’, which highlights colour and the customization of the range.

Taken in wide angle, the images play with the natural and the sophisticated with models who appear to be frozen in their scene. Otherwise features are left to speak for themselves: bright colours, surprising leopard prints and lace.

Sigrid Agren is everywhere at the moment. The French model posed for the Calvin Klein A/W 09 campaign shot by Craig McDean. She is also starring in Mikael Jansson’s Fall Winter Chloe campaign. She also manages to steal the show from Bambi and his Disney companions in the latest Stella McCartney campaign, a fairytale world shot by Ryan McGinley.

We love the new Lanvin campaign shot by Steven Meisel, featuring Kirsten McNemany and gorgeous sleek black cats. Miaou!

Charlotte Gainsbourg will be the face of the upcoming Balenciaga perfume, to be launched in February 2010. Not surprising as she is the muse to Nicolas Ghesquiere the designer of the Parisian house.
The French actress, and daughter of cult singer Serge Gainsbourg, already posed for the brand for its Fall/Winter 2008 campaign.

Rumors rumors… Madonna should be the star of the Spring 2009 Louis Vuitton campaign. The campaign should be shot by the prolific Mert and Marcus. Interesting and possibly true.

The twenty page booklet features all of the images of the Yves Saint Laurent A/W 2008-9 ad campaign, shot by Ines van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. It will be distributed as a free newspaper.

The Manifesto will be available between 11am and 7pm on September 6 from the location listed below in London. Start staking out your style spot now.

The manifesto and a short film will launch simultaneously on ysl.com
