For his upcoming Autumn / Winter colour collections Francois Nars has re-recruited his long-term friend and muse Daphers to appear in this beautifully produced campaign. Also celebrating her involvement by launching a right royal purple eyeshadow named after her (worn in the image left courtesy of WWD).

The creative direction of this shot does seem to have taken the same approach that Dolce & Gabbana did with Madonna’s recent sunglasses campaign; working on the principal that no amount of bleach-out lighting and creative airbrushing can ever be too much. I have to admit the images are striking. Great to see women older than 15 being represented in ad campaigns, but what’s the point if you make them look like strange, ageless Manga cartoons of themselves?? alexia inge

Renowned for their ‘edgy’ style, the Olsen twins have finally taken things a step too far and fallen right off the cliff. Looking like a couple of dissident Bunnies escaped from the Playboy Mansion, Mary Kate and Ashley proved that fame really does mess with the head when they sported these Maison Michel ears. What possessed them, who knows?  But sure enough, when the Olsen’s adopt a trend, other celebutantes are quick to follow. Nicky Hilton has also tried, and failed, to work this ‘mini-trend’ initially sparked by Madonna (who, for the record, we cannot advocate as a style icon), along with Lady GaGa who manages to look, well, nuts as ever.
