Pepe Jeans SS08 : The Beauty and The Geek

I hadn't posted the Pepe Jeans ad campaign, just because there was a lack of proper pictures and the one that did pop up was quite dissapointing to be honest. So, after accumulating most of the shots here they are - the Spring 2008 campaign for Pepe Jeans.

I'm personally not a fan of a lot of Photoshop and the use of gradients but the overall concept is interesting. Perhaps if the editing team had left the pictures as they originally were, I would have been more keen on them. But I do like the fact that the styling is very akin to Darias tastes. Kelso also makes an appearance!

I uploaded a behind-the-scenes video to youtube.com (at the end of the post) which was a small accomplishment in and of itself. It would have been interesting to see some shots with Ashton, but Daria pulls off her solo campaign quite nicely. The full campaign can be seen below:

David Yurman SS08

Along with Natalia Vodianova and Kate Moss Daria stars in the new SS08 David Yurman campaign.

Despite the fact that I'm a bit biased because it's Daria, this campaign is simply gorgeous. Daria, Kate and Natalia perfectly complement each other. The ad is shot by Peter Lindbergh and features his signature black and white photos.

Daria for Tsum SS08

Fresh from news of her Balmain campaign, Daria has landed yet another campaign for the Spring/Summer 2008 season. This time around, its for a lesser known brand. To be exact it is for Russian luxury department store TSUM. The look is very catalogue basic, but the fact that the makeup is light, and hairstyling kept to a minimum makes this campaign all the more intriguing. Hopefully there will be more images to come.
