The street fashion producers targeting
the mass public are brands like H&M, Zara, and Mango. The street
fashion style is one for the masses; nobody would wear a Versace gown
going to work, which could be the reason why street fashion gained so
much popularity. For a couple of years the street fashion was
composed of basic casual wear, but for the last campaigns street
fashion brands have gained significant sophistication, through famous
figures for their advertisement campaigns.
Milla Jovovich for Mango |
After they benefited greatly from the
declared passion for their clothing of Kate and Pippa Middleton, Zara
has taken things to another level. While truly on the ascension among
the high street fashion industry, Zara goes with subtle figures for
their campaigns, figures that are famous within specific circles.
These faces are not so much commercial, but have something unique in
their appearance and attitude. Take for example the 2011 winter
collection for women, featuring Stella Tenant. Zara promoted that
luxurious collection with no fuss, discreetly; no quotes, no
comments-and what a sales record it was. For 2012 Zara goes with
rather eccentric figures like Cara Delevigne and Dutch model Freja
Beha Erichsen. What’s so special about them? Well, Cara has that
Woodstock fascinating figure that was used by Viviene Westwood and
Channel. So who could street partying wearing TRF Zara collection
better than her? On the other hand Freja has just the look for chic
boho air of the 2012 winter collection from Zara. Along with her
esoteric expression, her dashing body structure, she explains her
choices in life through her Zara clothes in bad English with weird
French-German accent. It is clearly that Zara aimed successfully for
the young precociously matured generation. This channel is followed
up by the 2013 spring collection, featuring another Dutch model, the
32-year old Saskia de Brauw. Her rather boyish aspect contrasts with
the breezy materials, beautiful light pastel colors and silky
silhouettes brought by the Spring-Summer Collection.

Miranda Kerr for Mango |
Since its beginnings, Mango has made
its custom to feature famous models for its campaign images. Models
like Milla Jovovich, Lizzy Jagger, Karolina Kurkova, Naomi Campbell,
Eva Herzigova, Inés Sastre, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington ,
Diane Kruger, Isabelli Fontana and Scarlett Johansson were the images
of Mango brand..
Penelope and Monica Cruz campaign for
Mango in 2008-2009 seemed to have been the start up for this brand’s
ascension. The Spanish sisters look so much alike, even if they are
not twins and they broke the European barriers for Mango fashion
style promotion. After them Mango’s next great move was choosing
Kate Moss as brand ambassador and what a smart move that was. Who
could look more dashing in the white tuxedo suit with pants featured
in latest 2012 winter collection? But will she remain the brand
ambassador and main image figure? For next spring-summer campaign
younger model Miranda Kerr will be featured. She’s been a Victoria
Secret Angel for some while now with enormous success. It looks like
Mango will be taking a turn from the Brit solid style to a naughtier
angelic one with Miranda as brand image.
