venetian dreaming
Monday, August 22, 2011

What's crumbling, elegant, palatial, and bathed in muted pinks, reds, milky teals, shimmery blacks and bronzed terracotta golds? Venice, of course! The backdrop for a slew of swoon-worthy ad campaigns, the fashion world has turned a dreamy eye on Venice, and I'm loving the tone of fall 2011 .

My favorite model Coco Rocha, graces the Americana Manhasset 2011 Fall Campaign.



And of course, my head is still spinning from the ultra beauty of Robert Polidori's campaign for Bottega Veneta. Pure glam!



I'd like to stay in Venice awhile this morning, so please don't wake me! Did the weekend treat you well? What are you dreaming of this morning?

I was still gushing over Bottega Veneta's campaign, hadn't seen this one with Coca yet. Stunning as well!! Love the surrealism in the use of light. Just beautiful.
Now I'm dreaming of Venice! I was there once in 1997, hostel and backpacking style. I would love to go back to Italy someday when I can afford a decent hotel!
I love Coco rocha, is one on my favorite model too.
She's so unique and elegant. Really perfect.
Beautiful pictures.
Jut gorgeous. Love the gold and black together.

Coco Rocha is one of my favourite models too. Her face is so interesting, so expressive. And that editorial is amazing! I might post it myself, because I really really really love it! Hope you have a wonderful week, Mary Jo. xoxo

These images are so beautiful and glamorous--- the perfect transition to fall!!!!
I'd like to stay in the Venice dream now too if you don't mind! Pure beauty right here in Venice :)

I ADORE the new Bottega Veneta campaign - simply stunning. I hadn't seen the Manhasset ads but they are beautiful as well. I am embarrassed to admit that I have never been to Venice - many other and more obscure places in Italy but never there!! Needless to say it's on my bucket list!!
Beautiful fashion in that lovely post, I would wear some of those outfit myself.
venice is like non-other...i think i'm still dreaming of france...ever since i saw coco rocha's wedding

I can't get the Bottega Veneta campaign out of my head! It's so gorgeous. Hadn't seen the Coco Americana one yet. That's equally as fabulous. It all makes me want to hop on a plane back on over to Venice. It's such a magical place :) xoxo
Amazing images. I feel like I need a week in Venice to recoup after our summer madness!
These are gorgeous photos and wow...she really is something! I have never been to Italy but would love to visit someday!
Stunning photos. So much to look at in each one.

talking about the other woman
I've been all over Italy but never Venice. Sigh. Maybe one day...
In the meantime the photos will have to do (and they are wonderful aren't they?)
so much beauty here. the model, the fashion, that venetian backdrop.
Absolutely gorgeous editorial!!Coco Rocha is the perfect model!! Love her face!!
Kisses
PS: I have never been to Venice but maybe one day...
Ah, what a stunning collection of photographs, Mary Jo! I just love the first one! :)
I'd like to be there too... though I'd hate the summer tourists around the city... haha!!!
You're right - I noticed this too. Have never been to Venice but it's so idyllic to be unreal. Agree with you about that gold make-up - amazing!
Oh to be in Venice...swoon! I love every image, although, I am seeing a lot of bright/happy colors around this autumn too...typical oranges and rusts and eggplants...then with dashes of green, it's fun stuff!!
Glam in Venice? Yup, I'm sold. How I'd love to walk those streets in some great gold jewelry and a dramatic dress. That would be such a treat.
So beautiful. Venice is my favorite place ever.
