Talk about a fashionable ride! Many thanks to Fellow Fashionista and Artist Fifi Flowers, who recently sent CC the following prize – a set of lovely note card prints of eight Fifi Originals, complete with CC’s fave, a gorgeously rendered bicycle in front of a clothing shoppe (see top left). Yay for winning fabulous artwork with a transportation/fashion theme! Be sure to visit Fifi Flowers Design Decor here.
A curious combo or a match made in heaven? Fashion advertising is heavily dependent these days on transportation, it seems. From the Jet Set glam of Michael Kors to Jil Sander’s Subway Chic, fashion is in motion!Bicycles even made their way onto the runway at Agnes B. (right, via nymag.com)

Subway and tube provide a surprisingly glamorous backdrop (Jil Sander, left and Topshop, below).
Kors isn’t the only one cashing in on the glitzy lifestyle: Jimmy Choo ad via photobucket.com.
Editorials have taken to using cars and motorcycles as props, as in this "Love/Hate" spread in W, featuring Alexander McQueen.

This seems an excellent opportunity also to pass on an award CC recently received from the lovely Miranda of Sparkle Dust Fantasy. The Fabulosity Award goes to the aforementioned blogger Ana, whose blog, Fashion Moment, is one of the most exquisite (and undervisited) in the couture world – visit here asap!xoxox,

oo you're so right! you have such a wonderful eye for spotting trends! love that airplane necklace too
Those dummy models (the ones that look like crash dummies) make me queasy for some reason.
I do like that shot of that girl looking angry and frustrated in black hair and a silver sequined dress coming out.. Fabulous.

Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver...

Thanks CC!

thank you so much,you said you like my blog, that i'm very deeply honored .
Brilliant. Nice to see Topshop models from my home land there! x
I love the picture of the bike in front of the clothes shop too! What a wonderful card! Some pictures of people riding bikes look so glamourous, so retro, somehow. That's weird, bikes on the runway! I haven't seen that before! But it's really useful, this way you can see what the clothes look like when you're actually doing something that you do everyday, not just what they look like when you're walking up and down in a straight line!
xoxox,
Cate
You always find so great pictures!!!
Another super post!
xoxo
I love these transportation inspired ads too-- Topshop is one of my faves but Jil Sander totally wins-- Glamorous dresses juxtaposed with the more urban feel of the tube.. I love it!
Happy Holidays, CC!
Ohh very nice!
wow! i love that Miansai Biplane necklace - sooo cute! (: x
I love travelling!
Travel + Fashion = Complete heaven!
I just loved Carre Otis in those rock-chick ads.
thank you so much for your constant kind words for me
the best I can wish you is happiness, love and health for you and people you cherish.
keep on being a delight for your readers
cheers from Paris

So glamourous! You've just reminded me of Catch Me If You Can--I love the part when Leonardo DiCaprio walks through the airport with all those flight attendants and pilots and dressed-up jetsetters.

Who would have thought trains and cars would be a place for inspiration.
I adore the picture of Linda Evangalista and the motorcycle, but for other reasons of course.
