Fashion Princess Bridgette: Blog & Ads

Some people follow a few fashion blogs & I wanted to share one of my favorites, http://www.thisisnotnew.com/ this blog is so simply done with only pictures, that's it. The compilation of the pictures is flawless all the pictures are like mini advertisements I don't hate to look at. I like to look at the advertisements in magazines I think advertisements are wonderful. They paint a picture of a life that you may want to have and the ads make you believe you can have that life if you just buy their product. The advertisement lifestyle dreams are endless. One of my favorite brands and in my opinion one of the best advertising team is Michael Kors. This is a perfect example of "you can have this lifestyle too if you buy my product"

I would love to be a celebrity and have paparazzi following me making me feel important and loved, and I would love to walk the red carpet. This ad paints that desired Hollywood lifestyle without being over the top. Thats what makes Michael Kors's ads different than other ads. His ads are simple not over the top and he lets his products speak for themselves. In this ad it's simple a girl walking down the street, not harsh lighting for crazy pose but his style and clothes are so impeccable he doesn't need a crazy ad to sell his clothes.

I think this dress is amazing and I would love to have it and the ad is beautiful, it looks like real life as if someone with a camera walked down the street to see a couple leaving an afternoon lunch. This ad compared to many other fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs where major special effects and retouching are used such as in the Louis Vuitton ad with Madonna.

The colors are very distorted we can hardly see her face despite the fact that Louis Vuitton is paying Madge millions to be the face of their brand. Louis Vuitton had gotten a lot of backlash from this ad campaign using the special effects.
So next time you flip through a magazine or look at a fashion blog full of pictures think to yourself do I really want that [insert product] or do I just want that lifestyle. Go check out http://www.thisisnotnew.com/ and find some amazing photos like these!
