Possibly the Worst Ad Ever

I’m usually pretty accepting of any fashion ad I see in a magazine.

Some ads are beautiful, and some are just okay, but I hardly ever see one that's a complete disgrace to the industry.

I understand that not all photos are going to be winners. You can’t get a perfect photo every time.

But there’s something I don’t quite get.

In photo shoots, there’s more than one shot taken. Photographers want the best shot possible so the product will sell.

How did they land on this photo for a JCPenney ad?

WHY?

If this is the best photo they got, this model should be fired. I really hate being so critical of someone, but I don’t understand how this can happen.

If anyone knows who this is, let me know in a comment or email me. I want to know if she just had a bad photo shoot or if she isn’t a good model.

Coco Rocha's Hair is Dangerous

Hair styling is a huge part of the fashion industry. It pulls together the makeup and wardrobe so the model can deliver something the designer will like.

And sometimes it’s dangerous.

Here are a couple photos of Coco Rocha to show you what I mean.

This look was for Zac Posen at New York Fashion Week.

Look at that! It’s amazing. If your hair looks like it could kill someone, you’ve got a strong look. With Coco Rocha, I'm sure she could pull off an amazing photo/runway without a lot of hair and makeup, but it certainly doesn't hurt to have such fantastic hair. Unless it impales you. Then I imagine it would hurt quite a lot.

About

If you don’t speak any Italian, I’m sure you’re wondering what my blog title is.

Moda Modella is “Model Fashion” if I translated it correctly. If I did not translate it correctly, I have no idea what it says, and I’m sorry for any confusion. But if it’s wrong, just pretend it isn’t because I have no idea how to change it.

I created this blog because I really like fashion, and I constantly want to write about it, so I decided a blog is the perfect place to put my thoughts.


I’ve been on Pinterest for a couple months, and I thought that made a pretty good outlet for my fashion tastes, but it turns out I really want to write about it. So here I am.

What will you see in this blog? – I have no idea. I don’t really know what I want to write about yet. Maybe models, maybe designers, maybe runway walks, maybe everything. If you like an organized blog with a steady stream of topics in one area of fashion, this probably isn’t for you. I’m very spontaneous with my writing.

What other websites are you on? – I’m on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Blogger. In addition to Moda Modella, I also have Ana’s Anecdotes, which is my humor blog. Below you will find links to everything except my facebook.

Who is asking these questions? – No one! But maybe someone wants to know and now they don’t even have to ask. You’re welcome!
