Old meets new

Yesterday in class, we were talking about music in commercials, and this very recent ad for Chanel was the example showed in class:

While the entire class knew Jennie, they had no idea what the music in the background was. Had to tell them about "Fine Young Cannibals" and their iconic hit "She drives me crazy."

It seems like fashion brands are into mixing the old and the new in their campaigns. I've seen a lot ads like these through the years, and another one of my faves was this Gucci Horsebit ad from 2 years ago.

This ad, with "Horse with no name" playing in the background is another genius move where old meets new. 

And that's how you make fashion - and music - that's timeless.

Familiar fashion

Last July, I wrote about a pair of sunshine colored gowns that I scored at SM Department Store. This particular one was very eye-catching in its simplicity, and I remember describing it as a gown with Lanvin-esque ruffles.

While scanning through fashion sites and reading about the best fashion of 2013, this particular gown from Gucci's SS2013 collection immediately caught my eye:

I knew that gown looked familiar. Then again, this isn't the first time that SM drew inspiration from Gucci. And I must say, they do their copies quite well.

Now I should look at their 2014 collections and try to guess what piece of clothing they'll copy next.
