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.

Met Gala 2011

François-Henri Pinault with Salma Hayek both in Alexander McQueen

There was an unbelievable amount of love for Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney at this year’s 2011 Met Ball. I think out of all the Met Ball’s I have seen, this one has provided the most looks that I have fallen in love with. Well done everyone.

This year’s theme was in tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen as the museum debuted a new exhibition in his name. Since there were so many attendees this year, I decided to post only my favorite looks (and a few others)  – don’t worry, it’s still pretty image heavy!

Where was Camilla Belle this year?
