So here is the pretty campaign for the new Marc Jacobs fragrace, Oh, Lola! starring the lovely and talented young actress Dakota Fanning. That's Dakota, the elder sister of Elle. Wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress with a divine scalloped hem and all sorts of polka dot prettiness. Just so lovely.
And while I get that the name is Lola, which is a sort of play on Lolita, I still have two questions to put out there. Of all the beautiful images that they shot, why did they go for the option that it the most phallic? On a 17 year old girl. And why use a 17 year old girl, and cute, pretty pink styling and then headline the campaign, "The New Fragrance for Women"? I don't really understand that. Anyone?
Anyhoodle, as I said, it is delightfully pretty and Dakota had a blast wearing the dress she loved from the runway show and having her hair and make up done. Who wouldn't. It is always a treat to be fussed over and put in gorgeous clothes. We do it here at O Magazine for our real ladies fashion stories every month. And every so often I get to have a go myself. So my message to you all is, if you ever get an opportunity to appear in a magazine story, snatch it with both hands as it really will be a lovely experience. Just like Dakota. Just make sure you know how it is going to be presented!
