Chloe Grace Moretz & Kid Cudi for Coach Dreamers Spring 2015 Campaign

Coach launched its latest Spring 2015 campaign entitled, Coach Dreamers, featuring Chloe Grace Moretz and Kid Cudi. Coach is taking a new approach in marketing and I think it can totally revive the brand giving it a more youthful and hip look.

The campaign features intimate portraits of both artists who embody the spirit of the Coach brand – individual, authentic and innately cool. The campaign was shot by Mikael Jansson, with styling by Karl Templer and art direction by Fabien Baron. It features Creative Director Stuart Vevers’ second collection of Ready-To-Wear and accessories for the brand.

Stuart Vevers, Creative Director of Coach, said, “The Coach Dreamers are passionate, creative individuals with original talent who lead their lives in an individual, unexpected way. Chloe’s free-spirited attitude and spontaneity makes her a perfect incarnation of the Coach spring 15 girl, while Kid Cudi’s effortless ease and coolness could not better embody the spirit of the spring 15 men’s collection.”

Coach’s Spring 2015 collection will be available at Coach stores and coach.com starting in February.

Kid Cudi is an American recording artist, musician, singer-songwriter and actor from Cleveland, Ohio; Cudi performed at the last edition of Coach Backstage to celebrate the reopening of the brand’s Beverly Hills Flagship on Rodeo Drive.

Chloe Grace Moretz is an American actress who at only 17 years old has acted in over 30 movies to date; she most recently made her Off-Broadway debut in Steven Soderbergh’s “The Library” and garnered a People’s Choice Awards for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress in “If I Stay”.

I’ve always been a fan of Alexander Wang and this Fall/ Winter 2014 Campaign definitely doesn’t disappoint. The Campaign was shot in a what looks like a women’s penitentiary. SICK!

It was shot by Steven Klein and art directed by Pascal Dangin featuring models Anna Ewers, Vanessa Moody, Kat Hessen, Lexi Boling and Katlin Aas. One of the most fashionable penitentiaries we have seen by far. Sure beats Orange Is The New Black lol!

Versace Resort 2015

It’s resort season, Versace showed an urban, bold and luxurious collection fusing sportswear and tailored pieces with their iconic prints and vivid colors. There’s even a new take on tailoring featuring jackets with fluid cuts in matte jersey. Also mixing with the essential new jacket in a boxy shape made in modern silk cotton. Love all the sportswear inspired parkas in technical fabric that shimmer and colorful bomber jackets that are just to die for. Details consists of large pressed studs, double gold rings with Medusa heads, and zips that are like tribal jewelry.

Also loving the knee-high gladiator sandals and zip boot! This is definitely a sick collection!

“This is a Versace collection for the way women live their lives today, mixing sportswear with tailoring to create a new form of luxury,” says Donatella Versace.
