maghagging: that wasn't there before!

some designers have finally decided to jump on the advertising bandwagon, and here are previews of the ads from once-adless designers who have gone the way of their predecessors and peers:

rodarte:

fall 2008, anthem


spring 2009, bazaar

i'm so pleased to see the mulleavy sisters attempting to market their clothing through advertising. really, though, it's not necessary - the clothing speaks for itself.

zac posen:

spring 2009, fanzine137

i thought it'd be a cold day in hell when zac posen started to advertise his collection in a magazine. although, there are explanations for everything: technically it's spring, but still feels like winter, and our economic climate is basically hell (or headed in that direction). so, never mind, i guess it all makes sense, doesn't it?
