In Little More Than Shoes

-
Couldn't resist to stop and watch it a few times the other day.

Directed by Mario Testino, the Spring/Summer 2012 campaign features Natalia Vodianova in little more than her Stuart Weitzman shoes...

Yes, the beautiful Natalia wears almost nothing but - the shoes and the ultimate most sexiest clothing items of all times - [especially according to men...] - a man's white shirt. Very Kim Basinger. Very 9 1/2 Weeks. (Personally, I'm a strong man-shirt-on-a-woman believer!)

The black and white imagery makes a statement in its eye catching simplicity and focus on the product. The campaign captures the sexiness of the brand in a natural, classic, chic, and timeless way. 

According to the creative force behind the ad - David Lipman:

The concept was inspired by the notion that Stuart Weitzman's are the first thing you put on in the morning and the last thing you take off at night.

And I couldn't agree more with Lipman. I've been always a fan of classic black shoes! Besides, I've been also always a fan of Natalia Vodianova for many reasons. One of which about you can read here.

I'm lucky and I know it but it wasn't always the same.

For Germans the  Spargelzeit , or the white asparagus season, is an eagerly anticipated sign of spring. Depending on the weather, the season for asparagus begins some time in April and lasts until St. John the Baptist’s feast day June 24, and during this time the country is gripped by ‘Asparagus Fever’. From seasonal asparagus dishes to the white asparagus queen award - there's quite a bit of the history that goes back as far as the Greek and Romans... "Asparagus Gratine" seasonal dish at the Knochenhauer restaurant in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony: served with the potato pancake, ham and Hollandaise sauce. Having spent quite some time in Germany during the pick of the season, I've learned a lot about the history and tradition of the white asparagus season. Read here to find out why Germans call white asparagus "white gold".
