FIRST LOOK- Ports 1961 SPRING 2012 FASHION AD CAMPAIGN

Ports 1961 has come a long way since it's humble, arty re-introduction to the high-fashion masses over the past decade and the label's just released new ad campaign featuring a slick Alana Zimmer photographed by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin with art direction by Giovanni Bianco proves just how far they've come when considering their big league competition. Under Giovanni Bianco's watch, the last few collections and campaigns have successfully captured that elusive, urbane minded cool that the label once seemed so intent on courting. Now they've become ones to watch and kudos to Ports 1961 for that remarkable accomplishment. -Naveed Hussain >>More: Spring 2012 Ad Campaigns

First Look- Spring 2012 Fashion Ad Campaigns

While designer collections make their runway debuts months before they hit sales floors, it's not usually until we see the ads circulate that we get a clue to the bigger picture behind the season's story and along with that a dynamic dose of dreamy inspiration. And judging by the Spring 2012 ads that have hit the web so far, it's clear that many of our favorite designers went in several directions- there's no clear-cut set of trends, instead it's a come as you are sort of moment. A 'do-your-thing' kind of season. From Prada's retro beauty's (shot by Steven Meisel, above) to Balenciaga's candidly cool girl (below), there's something for everyone to take inspiration from for the season ahead. -Naveed Hussain Chanel, photographed by
