William Wegman for Acne Studios






Known for photographing his beloved Weimaraners in a variety of costumes, it's only natural that William Wegman is now partnering up with the fashion industry.  Commissioned to snap Acne Studios' most recent line, his portraits are surprisingly soulful and expressive, adding an unexpected depth to the line's accessories.  As a lover of all-things-animal, this inspired pairing is one of the most innovative campaigns I've seen recently.

  1. Are those dogs unhappy or is that just how Weimaraners look? Why do they look so much like real fashion models? Is that a commentary on fashion models?

  2. Well:
    Questions 1: Yes, to both I think.
    Question 2: This is so perfect, and definitely exemplified by Chanel's 2013 ad campaign. I don't know what they were thinking: http://www.luxuryshoppers.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/chanel-spring-summer-2013-.jpgdDpLK4APN7IGoAQ&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:1,s:0,i:86&iact=rc&dur=1092&page=1&tbnh=179&tbnw=278&start=0&ndsp=16&tx=129&ty=127
    Question 3: I certainly hope so.
