The advertising campaigns of Swarovski have been planted very firmly on our radar, ever since Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert made the brilliant upon brilliant decision to enlist Steven Meisel as campaign photographer. Battaglia Engelbert, who has served as the brand’s global creative director since 2020, has also had quite a thing for Ariana Grande. The American singer, songwriter, and Academy Award-nominated actress became a global ambassador for the Austrian jewelry brand in June 2024, and now stars in her third consecutive campaign. Ariana Grande reunites with Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for the occasion, starring in the Swarovski Millenia campaign for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. For the series of portrait imagery, Grande oozes some major 60s glamour wearing an assortment of pieces from the collection.

Ariana Grande for the Swarovski Spring/Summer 2025 Campaign

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Ariana is the Alicia Vikander of singers. From Craig McDean to Annie Annie Leibovitz, no one can make her look good. Not even the extreme M&M edit that has made even Selena Gomez acceptable. PS: What horrible tattoos!” exclaimed DK92 upon first look.

“Choosing someone with such graphic hand tattoos to model for a jewelry brand is a choice I just don’t understand,” rivegaucheface chimed in.

“All those hand tattoos draw all the focus,” disapproved tomtakesphotos.

“I prefer the Swarovski campaigns by Meisel. All the jewelry and tattoos in these photographs are way too much,” commented MModa.

Valentine27 shared: “I like Swarovski but having Ariana Grande advertise for the brand is a bad choice. I just don’t think she speaks to the targeted audience.”

Yet not everyone was so disapproving. “Quite frankly, I’ve never seen a bad campaign of Ariana Grande for Swarovski. It’s all very glam. Very 60s, and very much in the style of Richard Avedon/Steven Meisel that I cannot help but to love each and every shot!” voiced vogue28.

Throughout 2025, we’ve encountered a collective mix of Anna Wintour’s old and new favorites on the cover of Vogue. Regulars like Gigi Hadid have graced the American fashion bible, while Wintour (who has served as editor-in-chief since 1988) has championed fresh talent like Sabrina Carpenter and Angel Reese. The Summer 2025 issue of Vogue sees Hailey Bieber take to the cover. The last time Wintour welcomed the American beauty as cover star, was back in March 2019, when she was joined by husband Justin Bieber. Six years later, Hailey goes solo via the lens of photographer Mikael Jansson. Vogue‘s Tonne Goodman was called upon for styling duties, opting to dress the Rhode founder and Anthony Vaccarello favorite in a striped shirt from Prada in the vibrant, refreshing, and water-drenched cover photograph.

Hailey Bieber for Vogue Summer 2025

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“That’s not a bad cover. Lovely colors. I do wish Hailey was looking at the camera though. I just can’t fully appreciate a cover (usually) where the subject is looking away,” voiced MyNameIs straight away.

Vogue28 felt the same way. “My one critique is Hailey not engaging with us readers, which just ruins this completely for me (such a pet peeve of mine). The whole water concept also just reminded me of last year’s Kendall Jenner cover which was executed far FAR better.

“I wish she was looking at the camera, and I don’t understand her as a cover choice, but overall, I like it. It’s very easy summer and I appreciate that,” LastNight chimed in.

Yet not everyone was buying it. “This is a new low,” declared forum member Hchloe.

“Vogue always FAIL when they’re too pretentious on their cover photo choices. This looks like a still from a commercial,” commented crmsn.

Make no mistake that Stephen Gan at V Magazine has a penchant for models. For V’s Spring 2025 edition, Gan (who has served as editor-in-chief from the jump in 199) welcomed a selection of the modelling industry’s finest as cover stars. Names like Lara Stone, Eva Herzigova, Alex Consani, Amelia Gray, and Imaan Hammam graced the issue via the lens of Inez & Vinoodh for a series of collectable black and white covers. Issue #154 for Summer 2025 sees Gan endorse Candice Swanepoel, Marina Ruy Barbosa, Ashley Graham, Isabeli Fontana, Adut Akech, Abby Champion, Lin Xiang Xiang, Hyunjoo Hwang, and Ning Jinyi as V Magazine cover stars. The cover stars dial up the glamour in looks from Renato Amano, Splash Atelier, Ocean Savage (and more) as photographer Lufré snaps away.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love Candice’s cover. There’s something [Richard] Avedon about it,” enthused Squizree.

“Gorgeous! Love Candice,” admired forum member bluestar.

“Absolutely gorgeous!” exclaimed Deleted Member 164735.

Sharing the same sentiments was Alquimista, commenting: “Gorgeous covers. WOW!”

Cocteau Stone voiced: “I’m really liking Lufré’s work here. So rich, and high octane.”

“The covers photographed by Lufré are absolutely EVERYTHING! He understood the assignment, and then some. They’re electric. So fierce, captivating, and I’m genuinely at a loss when selecting just one favorite,” chimed in vogue28.

Despite the appointment of Matthieu Blazy as Chanel creative director in December 2024, there are still zero signs of change at the fabled French fashion house (not until Blazy’s official runway debut come September, at least). The powers at Chanel HQ remain loyal to a select few when it comes to capturing the brand’s advertising campaigns – including Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin. The Dutch photographic duo has captured an array of campaigns post-Virginie Viard‘s abrupt exit. As a result, it comes as no surprise to see the creative twosome shoot the Chanel Coco Beach campaign for 2025. The Chanel regulars ventured to the ultra-glamorous French resort town of St. Tropez for the occasion, complete with model Angelina Kendall posing poolside throughout the sun-drenched campaign imagery.

Angelina Kendall for the Chanel Coco Beach 2025 Campaign

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Cheap looking,” immediately called out Avonlea.

“Wish they would discontinue these cheap basic collections like Coco Neige and Coco Beach. They don’t add anything to the table and are just a basic display of bland merchandise,” critiqued FashionPower.

“If you covered the logo, you would think this was a Pucci campaign,” chrisand849 chimed in.

Yet not everyone was left so disgruntled. “An absolutely beautiful campaign. I love the location, styling, and summer mood. Angelina Kendall looks sexy and desirable. The photos make me dream,” shared MModa.

“One of Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin’s better Chanel campaigns, without question. I love the fact it’s only-girl, and it’s Angelina Kendall. I love the sun-drenched pool setting, and the beauty styling. It’s very reminiscent of 80s Chanel campaigns and I love that,” voiced vogue28.

Chemena Kamali continues to make big strides as Chloé creative director. Since taking the reins of the French fashion house (founded by Gaby Aghion in 1952), the German-born designer has ultimately propelled the brand to new heights – from a triumphant and celebrated debut collection to “fabulous” advertising campaign imagery. The release of the “à la Plage” campaign for the Summer 2025 season is no exception. Kamali welcomes none other than Claudia Schiffer as the face and embodiment of the collection. The German supermodel poses for photographer David Sims (for the first time throughout her storied career). The team, including stylist Elodie David Touboul, ventured to the South of France for the shoot. Schiffer is the epitome of summer chic throughout the sun-drenched imagery, living out her Brigitte Bardot fantasy like there’s no tomorrow.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Kamalis Chloé women seem to be a lot sexier than in previous eras. First, Rianne van Rompaey, and now this,” noted fashionsavvvvvy.

“I can see all the 40-something Scandinavian women rushing to Chloe to channel their boho chic summer aesthetic. Bravo to Chemena!” commended GivenchyAddict.

“With Claudia Schiffer, everything works,” Gonzalo approved.

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was VogueDisciple93. “Fantastic campaign! Bravo all around,” they applauded.

“Claudia looks fabulous. Those images bring me joy,” shared forum member thiago.

“Chemena Kamali just continues to hit all the right notes. What a delight of a campaign, absolutely love the fact Kamali tapped Claudia Schiffer. Claudia looks beautiful beyond belief here. David Sims has captured her beautifully. Not a single element of this do I dislike,” voiced vogue28.

Make no mistake that the house of Versace sure does love their muses. From the supermodels of the 90s (including Kate Moss and Claudia Schiffer) to brand ambassadors such as Anne Hathaway – the muses of Versace are always out in full force. Given the fact that Donatella Versace has now exited the role as Versace creative director (and Dario Vitale appointed as successor), we are certain that the muses of Versace will forever be on rotation as the brand heads into its new chapter under Prada Group. Prior to stepping down as creative director, Donatella fixed her gaze upon Sabrina Carpenter, who starred alongside Alexandre Sarr in the Versace Eyewear campaign to close out 2024. The American singer returns as the face of Versace, this time for the 2025 La Vacanza campaign offering, and poses via the lens of photographer Carlijn Jacobs.

Sabrina Carpenter for the Versace ‘La Vacanza’ 2025 Campaign

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“None of it feels very Versace to me, and that hair is FRIED. All I’m seeing here is a naff recreation of some 90s album cover and Sabrina morphing into Christina Aguilera,” noted vogue28.

“Did they have to take this direction?” asked proseccotabis. “Nothing about Sabrina is luxurious or niche. Are they looking to sell their bags to 14-16-year-old fangirls? I hated the Dua Lipa collab, but this is even tackier!”

GivenchyHomme commented: “I’ve seen Guess campaigns that look more luxurious than this. It’s a clear example of why Versace ended up in its current state!”

“You wouldn’t be allowed to set foot on a Guess shoot with hair looking that thin,” shrieked tigerrouge.

Yet not everyone was left so displeased. “I like it. The hair could have been better IMO, and the photography a little warmer but still,” reasoned forum member kokobombon.

“This isn’t bad at all and she’s SUCH a Versace girl,” enthused Squizree.

“Gorgeous photos. She’s selling it,” Alquimista raved.

You’re no doubt fully aware of the fact that since joining Saint Laurent as creative director in April 2016, Anthony Vaccarello has called upon a very select few to photograph the brand’s advertising campaigns. Vaccarello has essentially had David Sims, Juergen Teller, and Gray Sorrenti on speed dial from the get-go. The Belgian called upon Glen Luchford for the fabled French fashion house’s Winter 2023 campaign, and it’s a repeat performance for Summer 2025. Models Ella McCutcheon, Anok Yai, Penelope Ternes, and Justino Gonzalez make up the cast for the occasion. Throughout the luxurious campaign imagery, the models of the moment dial up the glamour and lounge around a setting of lush and opulent furnishings.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The clothes photographed really well. This looks painterly without being a painting- can’t go wrong with Glen Luchford,” applauded Melancholybaby.

“Wow, Glen really did this justice! Bravo,” Faith Akiyama echoed.

“Oh, this looks fantastic,” heralded forum member lelaid.

Salvatore commented: “Oh hell yes! The collection was very repetitive, but this ad is selling it to me. Glen is becoming one of my most favorite photographers!”

“It’s very beautiful. The Guy Bourdin thing was already done but the colors and the mood are great,” Lola701 approved.

“Fashion is alive!” declared MaraPiovani.

“Those colors are so lush, vibrant, juicy, and downright gorgeous! The lighting is fantastic, and I love the shadows. The cast look so fierce and glamorous here, I’m loving it,” voiced vogue28.

As co-creative directors of Prada, Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons often call upon a very select roster of campaign photographers. David Sims and Willy Vandeperre have been in constant rotation over recent months, while the recent Spring 2025 campaign outing saw Miuccia and Raf commission Steven Meisel to profile Carey Mulligan. Still in the mood for change, the design duo usher in Oliver Hadlee Pearch for the ‘Days of Summer’ 2025 campaign. The British photographer points his lens toward an all-star cast for the latest Prada campaign (including Hunter Schafer, Kendall Jenner, Troye Sivan, Lina Zhang, and more). The cast board a small boat and take to the calm waters throughout the minimalist and serene campaign imagery.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“There was absolutely no reason to book Kendall for this. Sales are fine, they don’t need to resort to stunt casting,” immediately critiqued GivenchyHomme.

“Kendall, really?” asked ah ah.

“The mood of the campaign is terribly cold and lifeless for a summer campaign., and everyone just looks so bored and miserable. Oddly enough, I’m liking Kendall Jenner’s photographs the best,” confessed vogue28.

Also not exactly best impressed was Melancholybaby. “So awkward and fake looking. And the products don’t help much,” they pointed out.

“Clothes sourced from the discount rack at Old Navy,” laughed KoV.

Chanel is just like any other fashion house on the planet and is regularly adding to its never-ending list of brand ambassadors. Chanel adds Kendrick Lamar to their roster of ambassadors, who makes his official debut as the face of the fabled French fashion house in the Chanel Eyewear campaign for the Spring/Summer 2025 season. The Grammy Award-winning American rapper joins Lupita Nyong’o, Margaret Qualley, and Nana Komatsu in the latest Chanel campaign offering. As the fashion pack awaits the debut of Matthieu Blazy, the powers that be at Chanel HQ called upon Karim Sadli to capture the ambassadors. In true Karim Sadli fashion, the cast pose against a simple, clean, and classic white studio backdrop – giving the frames (which revisit all the classic Chanel codes) the spotlight.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Kendrick Lamar is perfect for Chanel. A bit bittersweet for Virginie Viard as she brought him to the house. I can’t wait to see him in Blazy’s designs. Kendrick photographs well!” admired Lola701 upon first look.

“Margaret Qualley, my beloved, and my goat Kendrick – what a time to be alive!” forum member 99 Percent Polyester exclaimed.

Melancholybaby commented: “Lupita is glowing. She’s absolutely stunning!”

“Wow Lupita. I am speechless,” declared GivenchyAddict.

“You couldn’t make me dislike a Chanel campaign photographed by Karim Sadli. It all just works so wonderfully well, and the subjects always look fantastic via Kadli’s lens. No fan of Kendrick Lamar, but I’m loving this. Lupita Nyong’o looks stunning, and the smile of Margaret Qualley gives me life,” raved vogue28.
