The Same Old Expression

So this is the picture I meant in my previously post. Her expression feels so familiar to me, because it reminds me of her expression in the Harry Potter movies. What do you think?

Emma Watson:New Styleicon?

As you all may know Karl Lagerfeld declared Emma Watson to be his muse and made her the face of Chanel.
These days you can see her in the Burberry winter 09/10s campaign. I came across it in Vogue Deutsch September. I wanted to show you one campaign picture in particular, because her expression reminds me of the expressions she has in the movies and film posters, but I can't find it on the Internet. So I will take a picture of it and show it to you.
I don't know why Burberry picked her to be the new face of the campaign, I think she looks too young, too self conscious and doesn't go with the male models.
But maybe it feels wrong because she is famous. I don't like it, when celebrities work as a model, because you just look at the person and not the clothes anymore. Models should give clothes the space to develop their beauty or uniqueness not the other way round.
Nevertheless here are some of the pictures:

"Garden Girls"

Burberry Spring 2009

"Bailey called the collection "Garden Girls," and said he'd been inspired by his own garden in Yorkshire, and a Thames & Hudson book on eccentric Brits called Garden People—never types to be daunted by a bit of mud. To turn that thought into a collection, Bailey worked tints of ochers, browns, and mossy greens into a slew of fabrics, skinny cardigans, boyfriend pantsuits, and leather that looked as if it had all been treated to a good downpour."
It is amazing how Christopher Bailey interpreted and showed the trenchcoat in many different ways. But I don't know, if this collection works in any other country than Great Britain. The collection seems to be specially customised to british weather.
But I would wear it also in Germany, if I could get the money for it.

First And Most Influantial Seeing Of Fashion

As the title says is this the ad, which has influenced and inspired me much. Moreover this is the first fashion ad I was aware of and which made me want to wear fashionable clothes. So it means something to me!
It hangs in a shopwindow of a perfumery in Hessen (a state in the middle of Germany), where my grandma lives. I saw it very often, because in the village is only one main shoppingstreet, which you have to take, if you want to reach the village's end.
Not long ago I visited my grandma and I noticed that this ad is still there, although the perfumery seems to be closed (by the way it looked always closed, when I now think about it) and I was very glad about it. It seems like a sign. haha.
But it is not only the ad, but also the label, which designs for me the ultimate form of british elegance. I don't know how the label has developed, so maybe it's time for doing some research. =D
