The campaign images were shot by Inez and Vinoodh and Mel Ottenberg styled her in the two looks.

He posted some behind-the-scenes images on his Instagram page saying that she is '..more than an icon''. Not only is she his inspiration but also for an entire generation, I agree. To have Rihanna as his campaignstar is a dream come true for the young designer. "In front of the camera, she makes you feel like she is the only girl in the world," Olivier Rousteing told WWD.

H&M Holiday 2013 Campaign

Yesterday the campaign video for H&M's Holiday 2013 got released.

To be honest I, personally, love holiday campaigns, the clothing, the music and all those people together it just gives a warm feeling inside.

And especially when they include hot male model like Sean O'Pry, Erik Andersson and Ryan Burns.

The H&M campaign video starts of Sean O'pry and a little boy brushing their teeth and then Doutzen comes in and takes one of the of the presents.

And so on the video continues with all the models running hectic trough the mansion/villa.

By the way, I need the pants Liu and Cora were wearing and the jacket Christy was wearing!

Take a look above at video!

I'm one of those girls who never wears heels. I'd break both ankles, that's how clumsy I am.
But these Jimmy Choo's are marvelous, I am in love!
Those red suede Dane suede lattice peep toe booties are my fave!

The Autumn/Winter '13 collection is a great collection. Nicole Kidman is the face of Jimmy Choo's A/W '13 collection.
Nicole wears a red wig with a bob-line and a bob, eventhough it's a wig, it look great on her.
The ad prints includes a mysterious ad campaign video which you can watch below.

The campaign video begins with Nicole casually coming out of a cabriolet with Jimmy Choo's Talma, a pair of green military inspired ankle boots and with Ally, a black deerskin shoulder bag with handcuff chain.
It's followed by scenes of her walking through a house and getting ready.
She finishes up on a couch where you can see the detailing of the shoes.

Enjoy the video, you can shop the collection here.

The designer was inspired by the work of the artist Anish Kapoor and by is his setup for his Spring show back in september.
Shot by Daniel Jackson, you see Joan posing in the pieces and looking very beautiful!

"I have known Joan for a while now and every time I am with her she continues to impress me. Aside from her obvious beauty, she is so sharp, witty and really just gets it," Gurung told Vogue UK. "This season was about celebrating the woman we design for, that woman who has an innate ability to command attention, but in a subtle way - the woman who does not need fashion to garner attention, but rather uses it to enhance what is already there. Joan in so many ways epitomises this."

Take a look at the stunning images below.
