Women: Summer & winter for women

Stella McCartney’s collections especially for women are presented in the form of a fashion show. Her love of animals can also be seen to some extent in her fashion shows. For example, for the winter 2020 fashion show, her models shared the catwalk with giant animal figures. By doing this, the designer wanted to show that animals are part of every fashion show and collection, only in the case of her collection, they weren’t used to make handbags or anything like that.

Summer: fashion show in Norfolk, England

This fashion show took place at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, England. The models walk through a beautiful garden, between an avenue of trees, and along stunning sculptures. As a result, all the elements that were important to Stella McCartney for this collection are also present in the location of the fashion show: Nature and Art.

Winter: Fashion show

The music playing in the background is a bit reminiscent of the good old disco days and perfectly matches the models’ energetic walks. The glamorous and glitzy collection is inspired by the dazzling nightlife.” It was a collection born out of a desire to feel alive and bold,” says Stella McCartney. You immediately get the urge to finally get into the nightlife as well.

Commercials: Adidas, Kids & Unisex Fashion

In addition to a collection for women, Stella McCartney also regularly designs collections for children under the name “Stella Kids”, and also has its own line of unisex clothing, “Stella Shared”. She also collaborates with the sports brand “Adidas” since 2004. You can watch the latest commercials for “Stella Kids”, “Stella Shared”, and “Adidas by Stella” here.

Children’s clothing: Stella Kids

Laughing and in a good mood, the children show themselves wearing the latest collection called “A Journey to Space”. Fittingly, the children make alien and astronaut-like masks. An extraterrestrial collection that makes you dream of a journey into space.

Collaboration: Adidas by Stella

The “STELLASHINE” collection is all about shimmery, metallic colors: copper and silver. By using these cool and modern colors, Stella McCartney made sure that you can wear the clothes not only in the gym but also on the street. The fact that you simply cut a good figure in the clothes, whether jogging or skating, is demonstrated by the models in the commercial:

Collaboration: Stella McCartney Shared x Yoshitomo Nara

Together with Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, Stella McCartney has designed a unisex collection that reflects the spirit of a youth revolution. Slogans like “We are the Punks” or “Change the history” adorn the garments. While the message behind the collection is serious, the soft pink tones and sweet drawings by Yoshitomo Nara give it a lightness. The commercial for the collection features model, and daughter of actor Jude Law, Iris Law together with her boyfriend Jyrrel Roberts. Here, too, there is a certain lightness, because the two laugh a lot, kiss, and just have fun in front of the camera.

Sustainability: eco-friendly fashion

Designer Stella McCartney always pays attention to animals and the environment when designing her collections, which is why she specializes in designing vegan and sustainable fashion. Stella McCartney’s environmental awareness and love of animals was practically laid in her cradle, because her parents Paul and Linda McCartney are known for their vegetarian lifestyle.

Innovation in fashion: vegan leather

Model Paris Jackson presents the revolutionary collection “MYLO”, which consists of completely vegan, mushroom-derived leather. In the commercial, she draws attention to how many animals are killed every year in the name of the fashion industry. And the number is frighteningly high.

Shoes of the future: The Loop Sneaker

The “Loop Shoe” is super stylish and simply ingenious. The sole is not glued to the shoe as usual, but only attached to it with clips / clips. This means that you can recycle and reuse the shoe and the sole separately, which is of course good for the environment. This running shoe is a game changer! Check out the technology of tomorrow in this video!

Interview: Stella McCartney about fashion

In this interview, Stella McCartney answers questions about her parents Paul and Linda McCartney and why sustainability is so important to her. Even though it’s not always easy to be an environmentally conscious designer, it’s important to her to have a positive impact. After all, the fashion industry itself is very polluting, Stella McCartney explains. She also talks about what it was like when talk show host Oprah Winfrey visited one of her fashion shows.

In the selection of agencies for kids, it is especially important to me to make sure that:

• The website is actively maintained and looks appealing
  (just as customers would see a page)
• The blog is filled with new jobs and shoots
• Social media channels (especially Facebook, Instagram) are used
  (this also helps the promotion of child models).

The perfect model agency for kids! My recommendations

Serious child model agencies organize castings and appointments for jobs so that everything goes according to the law. Children are allowed to work only under certain conditions.

For example, you need a certificate from the public health officer to be allowed to do jobs. The requirements for jobs also differ. While adult models usually work 8 hours, boys and girls are (currently) allowed a maximum of 3 hours. Babies are only allowed on set for a maximum of 30 minutes. Extremely important is also a close communication of the agency with you as mom and dad.

• Close communication with mum and / or dad, or the legal guardians
• Special requirements for the work of Kids & Babies

So that you have a good overview of the child model agencies, you find here our list with respectable model agencies, for all cities from Duesseldorf to Hamburg and Berlin.

Good luck with becoming a model!

Moncler – A Fashion Empire Revolutionizes Sports & Fashion

René Ramillon was a French entrepreneur who produced mountain sports equipment. In 1952 he finally founded the Italian fashion brand Moncler. He derived “Moncler” from the name of his home village Monestier de Clermont, which is located in the French winter sports region Val d’Isére. The brand became known for its fancy items, collaborations and extraordinary and ostentatious stores all over the world. As early as 1968, Moncler was the official outfitter at the Grenoble Winter Olympics. In the 1980s, Moncler transformed into a lifestyle brand.

• Here you can learn more about the luxury brand Moncler

Varied ready-to-wear collections for the summer

Moncler is not only popular in winter, but also in the warmer seasons. From sporty to youthful playful – there is something for everyone here. The brand also presents the most important must-haves and accessories of the summer every year. Check out our editors’ favourites here.

Original sports fashion with a touch of nostalgic disco

Experimental. Captivating. Almost revolutionary. That, or something like it, is how you could describe Moncler’s 2018 summer collection. This time, the brand’s sporty vibe was joined by DiscoFever, with sparkling disco balls on the runway and professional dancers during the opening.

Sustainable summer collection with good cuts and prints

The Monclers Fashion Show 2016 was feminine and playful. Here you could find baroque dresses, rich ornaments and lots of white lace. For the summer, Monclers designers also focused on trouser suits with country embroidery. Watch the whole fashion show here.

Captivating fashion show including unexpected plot twist

“It’s a great way to show the strength of Moncler in winter and spring,” Creative Director Browne let slip after the show. Innovative and diverse. This is not only how the collection should be, but also how the fashion show should be. Thus, almost complete metamorphoses took place on the catwalk and took the models as well as the audience through a journey full of different weather conditions and destinations.

Modern urban clothing meets French tradition

The Gamme Rouge summer collection 2017 was all about France. This meant urban garments with a touch of French history. The main colors were red, white and blue. Random Fact: The fashion brand had over 10 tons of extra sand delivered for this spectacular backdrop. Check out the entire show here.

Luxurious winter collections with dramatic staging

Moncler loves theatrical productions. Of course, they are not to be missed at the fashion shows. While the summer collections are always characterized by a touch of lightness, the creative minds from the house of Monclers go one step further for the winter collections. See for yourself here.

Romantic coats and feminine cuts for autumn

The fall-winter show in Paris. A very unusual catwalk with autumnal leaves and bushes on the floor and in the background a recreated forest, which fits perfectly to the fall-winter collection of the brand.

Exciting performance and voluminous down jackets in the freezing cold

The presentation of the winter collection 2016 was spectacularly frosty. Moncler had specially invited the Japanese dance team Shudankodo, which put on a breathtaking performance in sub-zero temperatures at Lincoln Center Plaza. Later, the models presented the latest collection. Watch the whole clip here.

Classic and sporty at the same time: winter collection in a class of its own

Inspiration for the winter collection 2017 was mountaineering and hiking. This is also reflected in the garments. The fabrics, patterns and color combinations were rather unconventional this time: carabiners, ropes, rubber and nylon often made an appearance. Fur and wool were also often used to protect against the icy temperatures.

Theatrical winter fairy tale full of woolly hats and extravagant capes

For the fashion show of the winter collection 2017, the fashion empire Moncler decided for a dramatic staging of the extra class. The catwalk resembled a winter palace and the live orchestra played classical arias. Enchanting and romantic at the same time – that was the best way to describe the fashion show. See for yourself here in the video.

The luxury brand Backstage – Charming, open & honest

Of course, Moncler’s success doesn’t just come from anywhere. After all, there are decades of work behind it. Who is behind the success of the brand and how it goes during a typical Moncler fashion show, you can see here.

Tip 1: Always be ready

The best children’s photos are successful if the children don’t notice anything about taking them. As soon as a lens “captures” them, the shots become stiff, polite rather than natural. It is better to have a suitable camera always ready and rather take a few more random photos. These can be viewed and reworked later.

Tip 2: Observe the light

Children run towards or away from the sun, play under a cloudy meadow or jump to a door in front of a dark background at the moment they are released. It doesn’t matter! The photographer can observe his child and take advantage of such movements in the direction of light. But he can also accept that the movement in imperfect lighting results in a particularly natural photo. Kids photography means a lot of opportunities and later

Tip 3: To be instead of shine – no forced smiling

Children appear almost puppet-like in photographs in which they are visibly invited to smile. A natural laugh, a look at a discovery or even a thoughtful facial expression, however, seems much more beautiful, above all childlike free. The following also applies to the hits of these peculiarities: the photographer takes many photos from the stomach, i.e. whenever a scene looks optimal from a distance, and evaluates the photos later. With the memory cards of digital cameras, collecting photos and sorting them out later is no longer a problem.

Tip 4: Have your picture taken instead of always running after the perfect photo

Especially on excursions with other families or on children’s birthday parties, parents would like to “take home” the most beautiful children’s photos. But there are many other things to organize, and the shared attention would be avenged by less than optimal recordings. On such occasions, an outsider, perhaps a relative with camera experience, would do better to hold the camera. Perhaps he misses an opportunity that seems perfect to parents or grandparents. But because outsiders are more relaxed with scenarios, such random snapshots produce very beautiful, natural children’s shots.

Video tutorial: 10 tips on children’s photography

In this video by Tony & Chelsea Northrup, photographers themself, explains what you should consider during your first photo shoot. In these video tips you will learn a lot about the light situation and kids and their very own quirks. Have fun learning to take pictures!

Conclusion: Using the right moment and not forcing pictures with children

Taking pictures of children means first and foremost taking advantage of as many opportunities as possible for a shutter release. Afterwards, thehe images collected on the memory card can be sorted out at your leisure. Neither does the light have to be perfectly illuminated for children’s photos nor does the child have to smile into the camera like a angel. The aim of this type of photography is pure life in the most natural situations possible.
