It might be only spring for us, but all of the luxury fashion houses are already debuting their Fall 2018 campaigns. In the fashion world everything moves so fast, so if you want to stay on top you have to be innovative and unique. It doesn’t seem that Saint Laurent is having a problem with any of that. The high-end label just released the photos from their Fall 2018 campaign. And who else to better present new releases than a popular celebrity. To make things even better, Saint Laurent tapped two trending names for their most recent campaign.
In the course of two weeks, the label released shots with Zoe Kravitz and Kaia Gerber as the leading roles. In the most recent ones, we have the honor to see the gorgeous Zoe flaunting Anthony Vaccarello’s stunning fall pieces. The actress/singer shows off her bold buzz cut in sky-high boots with an eye-catching cheetah print. The super-short embellished shorts are a standout element in her look, with a great chance of them being sold-out within days in the upcoming season. The outfit is finished off with a military-style coat, embellished on the collars and the bottom trim of the sleeves.
All of the shots are done in black and white by the photography genius David Sims. Alastair McKimm is the stylist behind the chic looks of Kravitz. As an addition to the photos, Saint Laurent also released a short film with Zoe as the leading protagonist. In it, she makes some sultry moves to the seductive sounds of “Venus in Furs” by the Velvet Underground. The actress was announced as the brand’s beauty ambassador last year in July. Since then, she also starred in Saint Laurent’s Spring 2018 campaign. It seems that she’s the perfect match to represent Vaccarello’s visions. Zoe’s personal style is very close to what the designer creates.
Kaia’s part in the ads debuted last week. The gorgeous 16-year-old daughter of Cindy Crawford walked two of Saint Laurent’s runway shows and now scored a role in their official campaigns. Once again shot by David Sims and styled by Alistair McKimm, Gerber’s looks feature a more western vibe.
Ever since Anthony Vaccarello joined the label, he transformed it into one of the most sought-after brands with numerous celebrity collaborations. His edgy esthetics is what makes Millennials want to get more and more of what Saint Laurent offers.

Kaia Gerber fronts her first Chanel campaign. Only several months after her official high-end runway debut, Cindy Crawford’s gorgeous daughter got to shoot with Karl Lagerfeld. This is the dream of every single girl in the world, and Kaia is living it at only 16. As a part of Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2018 handbag campaign, the iconic designer decided to tap Gerber and capture the images himself. Lagerfeld is well-known not only for his impressive designing career but also for his love of photography.
“In this new campaign, the diversity of the Chanel bags is made clear, and yet they’re all linked by an eternal, instantly recognizable style. The Chanel bag is a true fashion manifesto, a history of women, all women.”- brand representatives told Who What Wear.
The young model might be only 16, but she sure inherited her mother’s superstar genes. You can see her casually lying on a vintage sofa, posing for Lagerfeld like she’s been doing it her whole life. The photo shoot took place in Mademoiselle Coco’s apartment in Paris. It is situated right above Chanel’s flagship in the City of Lights. Whatever Karl creates becomes huge, especially his chic handbags. This campaign features four new styles from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection.
You can already spot these new drops on many celebrities, bloggers, and influencers. The campaign highlights Chanel’s current obsession with PVC, as the trendiest fabric in the fashion world. Kaia presents the brand’s PVC Flap bags in two different sizes. These handbags are the most popular It accessory in the polished blogger outfits during the fashion month. All the ladies who prefer classic designs should feast their eyes on the Gabrielle Hobo Bag. It’s a sophisticated tweed style that will compliment all of your outfits. The Vanity Case is a more contemporary small bag, ideal for both glam and laid-back looks.
Kaia made her fashion debut in September during the Spring/Summer 2018 runway shows. The long-legged beauty first appeared on the catwalk for Calvin Klein. Since then, there hasn’t been a single high-end end show without the gorgeous Kaia.
Cindy’s supermodel daughter might not be the most followed model on social media, but she sure becomes more popular every day. According to Instagram’s latest list, Kaia tops familiar faces such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne by the metric “follower engagement”. The engagement metric shows how invested followers are into a person’s Insta profile.This proves a point that the number of followers is not always as important.

Just months ago Kaia Gerber was a breakout model dominating the spring/summer 2018 fashion shows during the fashion month. Cindy Crawford‘s heiress is unstoppable by this point with many campaigns, deals and probably another busy fashion month. Moreover, the 16-year old model scored another exciting project with the fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld. Many models are happy enough if they get to walk for him, but Kaia Gerber doesn’t stop there. The young star will work together with the designer on a capsule collection. She is only 16, but already Karl Lagerfeld’s muse. Kaia Gerber opened Chanel‘s spring/summer 2018 show in October upon Karl’s request. Now she will get in the role of a designer for his eponymous line.

The Karl Lagerfeld x Kaia Gerber collection will offer ready-to-wear clothing line as well as jewelry, footwear, and sunglasses. The collaborative collection will blend Lagerfeld’s Parisian aesthetic and Gerber’s cool Californian style. Gallic chicness is the theme for the eveningwear, while the West Coast effortless style will influence the daywear. Kaia is already a style icon, flaunting the most stylish designer combos around, but now she officially earned her It status. The unspoken rule says that if one wants to get the It status, one has to get in the role of a designer. She is very young, but fashion is in her DNA. Her supermodel mother and model-turned-entrepreneur father most certainly taught her a thing or two about fashion. So, now we can finally call Kaia Gerber an It model.

A representative of the Karl Lagerfeld brand already revealed that the designer and the model have been intensely working on their collection over the past few months on a relation Los Angeles – Paris. Apparently, Kaia already proved her designing talent to Karl Lagerfeld, but there is still a long way until we see the pieces. The collaborative capsule is set to launch in September with a series of events in Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. The pieces will be available exclusively in the brand’s brick-and-mortar and virtual stores.
Speculations say that the Karl Lagerfeld x Kaia Gerber collaboration will follow the success of the infamous Tommy x Gigi partnership. The American designer and his Californian muse rose to unbelievable heights with their collaborative capsules. The duo is already preparing for their new collection scheduled to unveil in Milan in February. We are already excited to see which collaboration will perform better.

Family portraits aren’t the favorite thing to do for teenagers. There is nothing cool about saying cheese together with your whole family for a photo. Anyway, a family portrait shot by Willy Vanderperre for Calvin Klein jeans is another story. Not a lot of teenagers get to pose in front of cult photographers for iconic brands. But when Cindy Crawford is your mother and you inherited her model genies nothing can get in the way. Kaia Gerber and her older brother Presley Gerber took the siblings family portrait to another level for Calvin Klein Jeans Spring 2018 campaign. These two are the stars of #MyCalvins ads titled ‘Our Youth’.
“The evolved #MyCalvins concept has family at its center,” the brand stated in a press release adding that it serves as “a display of unity between strong individuals, further emphasized by the symbolism of the traditional American quilt. This campaign captures these bonds and brings to life different ways we can inspire families — both born and made — to connect with one another and celebrate the things that unite us”
Both teenage models wear cool denim pieces by the brand. Kaia Gerber flaunts an all-black ensemble while Presley wears an all-denim combo that is a mix of blue and black denim. He also models a classic denim logo hat by the brand. The styling and the aesthetics, in general, offer major Americana vibes. Calvin Klein Jeans is well known for their street approved denim pieces that are popular internationally but especially among the American population. No wonder why many models love Calvin Klein’s jeans shorts and jackets. There is no better way to nail a model-off-duty look than with a good pair of jeans and a casual tee.
Kaia and Presley Gerber have a history with Calvin Klein. Presley appeared in the brand’s 2016 fall campaign. Kaia Gerber, on the other hand, made her official runway debut in September 2017 on the brand’s spring show. Calvin Klein is in Gerber’s DNA. Their supermodel mother Cindy Crawford is an iconic figure in the history of the brand. She has been a part of many runway shows as well as ad campaigns throughout her career. This time the proud mother was missing in the pictures. Anyway, considering her long history with the brand, she may appear in some of the future Calvin Klein campaigns.
The young Gerbers aren’t the first family members to star in the “Our Family #MyCalvins” campaign concept. Previously the brand has tapped Solange Knowles and A$AP Mob. A$AP Ferg from the group has actually studied fashion design in school. We have yet to see who’s next to model Calvin Klein’s pieces together with their closest family members.
