F/W Ad Campaign Winner

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwwcnUBY9Zg&feature=player_embedded]

Some days on Yow Yow! we have music or wedding themed post days, but today is all about fashion. I’ve only seen just a few F/W ad campaigns so far, but Lanvin takes the cake. Raquel Zimmerman, Karen Elson, two male models and even Lanvin designer Alber Elbaz get their groove on to Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” while wearing clothes from this upcoming season.

This looks like too much fun.

Lanvin Petite

I am a huge sucker for parents who dress their kids well. That doesn’t mean that I would dish out my entire wallet for my future little ones though. I read an article that Suri Cruise’s shoe collection is worth $150K which I find absolutely ridiculous, but there is no denying that the little tot has got style. Alber Elbaz of Lanvin has just created the most adorable collection for kids that has got me feeling a tinge of jealousy right about now.
