On a recent shopping expedition I was seriously surprised to discover that Supre produces some of their garments locally. For the benefit of the 2OPINIONATED readers who don’t live in Australia SUPRE is a youth chain store. It’s a bottom-tier retailer and to give you some background on the brand… bear in mind that this T only retails for $12.95. I suppose I was even more surprised to discover that a ‘bring jobs back home’ campaign would resonate with younger consumers.
Ever since consumers started to care what conditions workers actually had to endure to produce a T that retails for $12.95 there has been a trend back towards First World production. Savvy retailers realised that there was a consumer who was prepared to pay a premium price for a product produced in ethical and/or regulated environments but I have to say that I would have presumed two factors in relation to this trend Read more

The Seven Million Dollar Man
Last year our men’s fragrance posts caused quite a stir so 2OPINIONATED just couldn’t let this one pass. Brad Pitt was reportedly paid $7 million for these commercials… #moneywellspent for Chanel?
The campaign was shot by Joe Wright who has worked with Chanel since 2006. Brad Pitt looks in desperate need of a shower and just when you thought men’s fragrance campaigns couldn’t get any worse Chanel proposes this ad as a call to action to buy Chanel No. 5

An American in Paris
SIGN “O” THE TIMES
A few years ago we had all the models complaining about the actresses being awarded the most important new beauty campaigns. It’s a sign of the times… it must be hard to be a European actress these days, as all the great appointments seem to be going to American “it girls”.
We all remember the controversy when Blake Lively was appointed as ambassador for the Chanel Mademoiselle handbag line. Blake, the quintessential Californian girl was seen by many in Europe as a poor choice for a prestigious house like Chanel and in direct contrast to their previous choices of quirky European beauties like Keira Knightly.
Kristen Stewart has just been appointed the face of the new Balenciaga fragrance Florabotanica in a campaign shot by Steven Meisel (see below).
The brand had previously used the European actress Charlotte Gainsbourg has the face of its Balenciaga Paris fragrance in their 2010 campaign also shot by Steven Meisel.

Just in case you forgot …we have the obligatory Karl Lagerfeld picture to prove it!
Could it be that in the world of fashion there is no such thing as a conflict of interest as Blake Lively has just been announced as the face of the new Gucci fragrance, Gucci Premiere.
