Bulgari has gone back to the vault to celebrate its 125th anniversary. The Italian luxury brand has revived classic collections – the Doppio Tondo, Leoni, Collezione 1910, and Twist – but given them modern makeovers.

The Doppio Tondo line retains the distinctive double overlapped round metallic rings engraved with the double "Bulgari" logo. These double rings take inspiration from the infinite loop, reminding us of the classic styling the brand represents. The wine red and forest green shades are new though, the jewel tones ideal for the cooler weather ahead.

We see the double logo again in the Twist, although this time it's printed on a duo of medallions. This season the line has a more relaxed feel thanks to the drawstring closure.

The Leoni bags are also a little more casual this time around, with their rounded corners. The original handles and clasps have also been moved to the center of the purse for a bold new look.

The Collezione 1910 hearkens back to the year the first Bulgari store opened in Rome. The collection features the brand's original Art Nouveau style advertisement printed on leather, oiled linen, or cotton canvas. Calfskin trimmings and handles add a little luxury to the less decadent fabrics, while the leather receives a special treatment for everyday use.

The retro Bulgari bags aren't cheap, with the leather purses clocking in at a few thousand a piece, but the classic styles might be worth a splurge.

You just can't keep the queen down. She may have been dumped by Louis Vuitton for the much younger Lara Stone and Daisy Lowe, but Madonna's already found another modeling gig. The Material Mom will front Dolce & Gabbana's spring/summer 2010 campaign.

Acclaimed photographer Steven Klein shot the ads in New York last week, and the designers say they're thrilled with the "simply beautiful" images of Madge.

"To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true," designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana added.

This isn't the first time the talented trio has worked together. D&G were behind the costumes Madonna used for her Girlie Show in 2003 and last year's Sticky & Sweet tour. I don't expect anything quite so outrageous for Dolce & Gabbana's next collection; the fashions have to be worn by mere mortals after all. Yet Dolce & Gabbana has a habit of surprising us, so you just never know!

It's hard to believe that fashion labels are already gearing up and getting started on their spring ad campaigns, yet it's true. Gucci's poolside Cruise 2010 campaign was just a kick-off to the warmer weather fashion shoots heading our way.

After a recent announcement of model choices, Claudia Schiffer was spotted with Karl Lagerfeld on location in Buenos Aires for Chanel's spring/summer photo shoot. The team was seen flaunting about classic Chanel get-ups in Buenos Aires areas Monte Grande and San Telmo, although a little rain briefly halted the production. I guess they should be glad it wasn't a snowstorm.

Although not caught on camera, models Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi have also been confirmed for the advertising campaign.

In other spring fashion campaign news, John Galliano announced that recent runway favorite Karlie Kloss will be the star of Dior's ads for the upcoming season. No word yet on their location, but my bet is on something as balmy as Buenos Aires.

While Victoria and David Beckham's super sexy Emporio Armani underwear ads were racy enough to make me just slightly uncomfortable, the married stars of London Fog's newest holiday advertising campaign just make me say "awww."

Television and silver screen star Eva Longoria Parker and her NBA-playing hubby Tony Parker are the epitome of lovey-dovey in the ads. It's not exactly G-rated with the couple locked in passionate embraces and Eva seemingly wearing nothing but a handbag in one shot. However, the two seem so genuinely in love that it's more sweet than saucy.

"They were so loving and affectionate with each other and the shots beautifully capture these intimate moments on set," said Dari Marder, Chief Marketing Office of London Fog, in a statement. "We are honored that they selected London Fog for their first fashion campaign together."

The holiday advertisements showcase London Fog trenches, luggage, and handbags and can be seen this winter in magazines and on billboards.

The Northern Hemisphere is preparing for winter snow, but the fashion world is already setting its sights on summer. Gucci takes us there with this vibrant advertising campaign for its Cruise 2010 collection.

The commercial takes us to the Mediterranean with its aquamarine pool and the bronzed, toned body of Ryan Kennedy. Photography's dynamic duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott have captured his rugged masculinity, which contrasts with the softer curves of Natasha Poly and Snejana Onopka. This is one pool party I'd love to attend!

Frida Giannini's Cruise collection is dominated by retro styling inspired by 1970s cinema. Think floral prints, navy blue and white tones, and clothes that are cut to flatter your curves. It's quite a change from the fluorescent 80s shades that dominated last summer, and one I predict will have a lot more staying power.

Before winter's even hit, this gorgeous ad has me craving summer sunshine. Perhaps a trip to the Caribbean is in order?

It's another case of billboard meets fashion. Similar to eco-friendly companies Artecnica and GG2G, the major retail store and budget fashionista-favorite Target is set to make a line of handbags from recycled billboard materials.

These aren't just any ol' billboard advertisements, however. The material will come straight from their upcoming ads in New York City's Times Square. The billboards, which will remain in action from Labor Day to the end of October, feature graphic art by talented, upcoming artists Michael Anderson, Josh Goldstein, Laurie Rosenwald, and Charles Wilkin.

After the vinyl is removed from Times Square, it will then be crafted into one-of-a-kind, limited edition tote bags designed by current Target collaborator Anna Sui. The upcycled handbags will be 90% recycled billboard material with a few added details.

You won't want to wait until they're completed to make your purchase, though. Shoppers will be able to buy the tote bags beginning on September 4 at www.target.com/billboardbag while the ads are still up. You can even choose which artist's work you want on your bag. Only 1,600 bags will be made, however, so you'll have to get in on the action early.

These recycled billboard tote bags designed by Anna Sui will retail for an affordable $29.99 and will be shipped upon completion in early January.

Ana Claudia Michels is the star of this sexy advertising campaign from Le Silla. The Italian label is attempting to sell its lush chocolate suede tote and sexy black heels, but is anyone really looking at the accessories?

The sight of Ana Claudia lounging around a New York apartment in her underwear, legs in the air, is a little ... well ... distracting. The artistic team of photographer Sebastian Faena, art director David Schnapper, and stylist Nicola Formichetti has created an ad that's head-turning, if nothing else!

Le Silla's creative director Monica Ciabattini is known for her chic and often eccentric interpretations of femininity, so perhaps this ad shouldn't come as any surprise. While at first glance it seems like mere eye candy for men, there's something powerful about Ana Claudia's ability to captivate here.

While all that bare flesh may distract us from the fashion here, they do say that sex sells. If that old adage still holds true, I expect Le Silla's new line to do very well!

Well, it might not be the most original advertisement campaign, but any ad involving Gisele Bundchen could probably convince shoppers to buy a paper sack dress.

This is by no means the supermodel's first appearance for Versace. Before the fall/winter 09 photo shoot, her most recent work for the label was this past spring for the season's campaign. The major difference between the two ads, other than completely different fashion, is that Gisele is reportedly sporting a baby bump these days.

Well, you'd never guess it from this campaign, where either the ads were shot before said bump appeared or some tricky work was done on the pictures. Also, the fact that she's facing the wall in this particular shot probably helps a bit.

Pregnancy rumors aside, however, I happen to love the pocketbook style clutch that the supermodel is holding in this ad from the label's fall campaign. Personally, I could take or leave the neck-breaking stilettos, but they do look pretty fabulous as well.

Overall, it's not the most creative photo shoot I've seen and not one of Gisele's best, in my opinion. However, Versace is Versace, after all, and always at least worth a look.

Despite the fact that she recently reached her mid-thirties, ubiquitous and highly demanded supermodel Kate Moss seems a very appropriate choice for Roberto Cavalli's junior line Just Cavalli ads. Plus, it seems that age isn't holding back any well-known models from landing major designer campaigns.

Moss appears yet again in the Just Cavalli fall/winter advertisements and is joined this time by male model Chris Duffy. I'm somewhat drawn to the overall party atmosphere that the stylist was obviously intending to communicate. I hardly even notice Duffy in the back with Kate's dominating air. In fact, he's pretty much an afterthought here.

The real star of the show, however, is the fashion, which takes the stage front and center despite the supermodels overwhelming presence. I certainly don't think retro when I think of the Just Cavalli line, but this sequined mini dress and twisted-front clutch bag certainly throw off that vibe. Maybe it's just Kate Moss' Brigitte Bardot hair and makeup styling that makes me think of that, though.

The posing might be a little awkward (especially the positioning of that purple clutch), but at least the fashion items look great.

We've all admired Anna Jagodzinska, and those lush exotic handbags, in Bottega Veneta's new fall/winter advertisements. Now this video shows us just how these stunning shots were achieved.

The clip takes us behind the scenes with fashion photographer Steven Meisel and models Anna and Eddie Klint. It's a little short, which leaves the feeling we're simply scratching the surface. But I suppose the fashion house wants to maintain a little mystery!

The video's narrator is none other than Bottega Veneta's creative director Tomas Maier. He explains why he opted to work with Steven Meisel and his artistic vision for the advertisements. I only wish it came with subtitles. His accent is so thick and his voice so lush and resonant, it's hard to catch every word on the first listen.

Thankfully this video is about more than the words. It's also about the handbags, which are all on display in their decadent glory. No matter what language you speak, their beauty is universal!
