6 Beautiful & Inspiring Fall 2010 Fashion Ad Campaigns
As you guys may know, to me, fashion magazines are all about the ads. Every time a new mag shows up in my mailbox, I immediately flip through in search of the best, most unique, and inspiring ad campaigns. Month after month, without fail, I always scan the pages of my favorite glossies in search of inspiration as well as decor for my dormitory walls.
And as I scanned the magazines this season, I was not disappointed. For Fall 2010, high-end designers went all out, dreaming up some gorgeous and inspiring ad campaigns. Want to see the ads that I thought were the coolest? Scroll on down!

Mulberry’s fall 2010 campaign is one of my favorites this season. It’s so carefree and fun! I love the shades of purple that are peppered throughout the ad, as well as the use of feathers in the air. If you want to see even more Mulberry fun, check out this fall campaign video that they also shot.
Stella McCartney

Continuing the theme from her Fall 2009 ads, Stella McCartney incorporated cartooney-styled images into her Fall 2010 ads. While I am unsure how much I love the illustrations- which were done by British artist Barry Reigate, I am in love with the simplistic style that this ad puts forward, as well as that cardigan- it looks so comfy!
Prada

Sexy, provocative, and moody are all words that come to mind when I look at the new Prada campaign. I’m loving the Mad Man-esque throwback style and moodiness that the clothes evoke.
Kenzo

Fans of floral will absolutely love Kenzo’s fall 2010 campaign. Shot in what looks like the desert canyons, this ad showcases earthy, boho-chic fashion while also pushing the ever-popular floral trend for fall. I love how loose and flowy the clothes are, and those shoes are too cool for words!
Chanel

I gotta hand it to him: Karl Lagerfeld is not only a genius designer, but a genius photographer as well. I love how this photograph was captured; the use of space is just great, and the models look incredible. Not too sure how I feel about the fur on the models, but this photograph is definitely provocative and statement-making.
Dior

Words cannot describe how in love I am with Dior’s fall 2010 ad campaign. While some campaigns rely on gimmicks and tricks, Dior sticks to the basics and lets the model and the clothes speak for themselves. I love everything about this look, from the dress, to the stockings, to the glorious, glorious, shoes.
Thoughts?
So what do you think? What campaign did you like best? Was there an ad campaign that I didn’t feature that you absolutely love? Do you hoard fashion ads like me? Whatever your thoughts, let me know in the comments!

Maybe it’s because I’m new to fashion or high fashion but how is the Chanel Ad statement making? I don’t understand it. Can someone please explain it to me?
Lyra
Ooh, I love the Dior one! The Kenzo campaign is my second favorite; nothing I would wear, but the photos are so fresh and fun.
Leslie
Love the Dior ad and those stockings! If only I wasn’t on a college-student budget….
Maria
the fur on chanels fall collection is faux fur.

Loving the Chanel Ad.
In response to your post, Viv, I really like it because of the photography skills. Maybe I’m just a photo junkie (oh wait, I am), but although the ad isn’t groundbreaking or full of color, I always appreciate a good use of space, muted color, and location.
But each to her own!

I love all of these ads, especially the rich blues and purples. When I think of autumn I see orange, red, yellow, and brown.
Lyra- The Chanel ad is interesting because of the way the frame is filled by the staircase and how the colors of the models’ outfits are similar to the colors of the setting they’re in. It’s just more subtle than the blues and purples in the other ads.

LOVING PRADA! I am a HUGE madmen fan since the beginning and knew from the start that the fashion and post-war culture it portrayed would possibly evoke a revival of such things with a modern twist in today’s fashion and culture. Maybe it’s just because I consider myself very traditional as a young woman, but I have always been fascinated with the huge balloon dresses and skirts that give off such feminine curves it’s just that recently there’s been that masculine trend in women’s clothing and finding 50s/60s inspired wear has been SO hard to find at descent prices! Hopefully the trend will continue on to more affordable outlets such as Target, Forever21, and H&M so us young people who aren’t rich can afford such looks if we want to. And perhaps it will inspire women to bring out their feminine side a little more both in fashion and attitude.
Back to the ads posted though, I actually like LV ‘s Mad Men inspired Fall runway looks better than Prada’s. Prada def. did the 1960 hair style to a T and I love it but fashion wise I really like the balloon skirts of LV. So I guess I’m saying Prada had better hair on their models and possibly better color schemes but LV def. had the better structure to their looks in my opinion.

Love the Stella McCartney ad – so fun and beautiful!
Nikki
I love prada it’s so highend yet it has a throwback feel to it. Chanel never disappoints me always something different but always catches my eye.
Cherie
Wow! Is it me, or is last year’s Teal is this year’s Purple!?!

Hanna
I love all these ads, but you left out the fall 2010 louis vuitton campaign..one with the 3 generation of models is soo pretty! Oh! the mulberry ones are nice too…i want their shoes

Obsessed with the Prada campaign. So amazing. Have you seen the Missoni Fall ’10 campaign video? It’s really trippy but pretty awesome. It can be found at http://missoni.com/ing.html.
Lynn
Omg those stockings and shoes in Dior! *swoon*
Katie
Moschino also has a fun ad campaign this fall. It’s shot by Garance Dore, and you can totally see the street-chic in it!
Viv
To Zippy’s response
Thank you for replying! I haven’t been into photography yet, so I really didn’t think about how the dark tones of the ad and space usage brings out a message. So thank you for your insight! Eye opening! :)

Like others have said, this year’s Chanel furs are all faux. The label’s most major statement this year has been to fashion really realistic faux pelts–some of which are more luxurious and more expensive than the real thing!
Chanel’s cut back on the cruelty recently–they deserve props for that.

I would love to see advertisements where women are not sticks and photochopped.

I wish the new Versace add with Anna Selezneva was on here. That ad is so chic.
Hannah
I must have those Dior ruffled stockings!!
lauren @ la petite fashionista
I’m really enjoying the Stella McCartney ads; I like the bit of playfulness to them– fashion isnt meant to be taken so seriously :)
Heather
Now that I think about it, one big ad that has really outdone itself and that I completely forgot about since I viewed it 2-3 weeks ago on a prep-style blog is Tommy Hilfiger! The “Hilfiger Family” is fun, witty, and yet exudes the classy and a bit ostentatious attitudes of old school East Coast Prep.
Living in the mid-atlantic area, I love this ad especially because it gives me SO MUCH inspiration for back to school looks with the classic navy, burgundy, dark yellow, etc. colors that I love so much with my super light blond hair; but I think the colors and these clothes look great on practically anyone for that matter! Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren are the only people that make me actually excited to go back to school soon lol

I am a true Chanel girl, but Dior knocked it out of the park.
Full of grace and steamy at the same time!
Summer
I love Lord and Taylor ads. They make my heart flutter. I wish there were some on here. Really feeling the Chanel though. Kenzo was SO INTERESTING though. What an angle and great show of movement!
