Numerous blogs have offered their takes on all the wonderful fall editorials and campaigns. And there are many!
Anyways, I haven’t done a Henry Wolf Would Be Proud in an extremely long time, so I thought this would be a good opportunity.
The story for Fall that stood out for me comes from across the pond…Portrait of a […]

I guess Jacko and I got sent the same email. Not sure if we’re virally marketing someone else’s pet project for them, but it is well done.

And what do you know…it looks like Martin Parr’s work.
Via Ogilvy & Mather Paris, the work reflects his style…high colour saturation, a cut-off perspective…and I think it looks fantastic.

Fell a bit behind on this, so here are some of the latest ads and editorials that I am quite fond of.
First, from Mario Testino for the August issue of French Vogue…

More scans here from Fashion Spot.
The new Diesel campaign from Marcel shot by Johan Renck with the tagline “Human After […]

From agency 72andSunny, from photographer Ryan McGinley. Fresh off his recent exhibition featuring fans at Morrissey concerts, this ad makes sense. It almost makes me want to consider buying a Zune.

I came up with a slightly better name for the posts each week that will be focused on an ad that I think is noteworthy.
Henry Wolf was a legendary art director that traversed the lines between fashion and commercial, editorial and advertising, and looked damn good doing it all. He succeeded Alexey Brodovitch (perhaps the […]
