The Photography Files! | Abercrombie & Fitch Christmas 2013...

The sharp, crisp cool of a naturally gorgeous Christmas/Winter season has finally dawned upon Abercrombie & Fitch full of FIERCE joy and spirited, clean attitude. Appreciatively, this Christmas 2013 campaign keeps the ball rolling after Back-to-School 2013 broke away with the consecutively monotonous imagery of recent seasons past. For the first time since Christmas 2010, the holiday campaign photography makes a return to a cherished tradition of classic backdrops alluding to elements of nature's expansive splendor...

However, other elements of recent years continue to carry on: recycled photography and the implementation of advanced digital rework. In fact, they've become so good at detailed, digital photographic rework, in general, that it's reached quite impressive levels at a point when the practice has become a major aspect in the 2010s. One great example of this is the following image from A&F Spring Break 2007 profoundly reworked for Xmas 2013...

The top right Xmas 2013 photo in this post is also a recycled photo of a past A&F photoshoot. The other two pics (the very top one and top left one) are more recent, original photographic works. In fact, THE HOTTEST BLOG has more to share pertaining to those two particular photos...so stay tuned!

All-in-All, the Abercrombie & Fitch Christmas 2013 campaign is definitely received with much approval in delight of bright, fun, lively outdoors cool...

Models Profiled! | Camille Rowe – Part II...

Enamoring with her beautiful persona and unique beauty, Camille Rowe commands a very special place at The Sitch on Fitch for being our first ever featured model upon the 2010 launch of #THEHOTTESTBLOG. Of course, much has changed and happened since then. Most recently, we caught up with what our girl Camille has been up to – in highlight of her ever flourishing career – now finding herself in new heights! (Check out the hot Part I)! Let's just say locking lips with Robert Pattinson can very well constitute stardom...

For this exclusive Part II, Editor-in-Chief C.E.R. pulled out from its protective setting his own personal A&F Quarterly "Screen Test" 2010 edition. Featuring photography by our icon Bruce Weber, the great collectible encompasses exceptional imagery set in the fictional "A&F Studios" and also comprises profiles of young artists of diverse backgrounds in talent. Focusing on Camille, and guided by a personal aesthetic and perspective, C.E.R. personally photographed this wondrous A&F Quarterly edition for your insight and enjoyment...

Models So Hot They Were Featured More Than Once! | Ashley Hinshaw...

 Actor Ashley Hinshaw at the A&F Stars on the Rise party

hosted at A&F The Grove on July 11.

As this Back-to-School/Fall 2013 fashion season draws to a close, we now turn our attention to gorgeous actor Ashley Hinshaw as one of the two featured artists in this season who've actually rendezvoused with Abercrombie & Fitch Co. more than once prior...this is the return of Models So Hot They Were Featured More Than Once!

#INHOLLISTER

Debuting her beauty at Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Ashley's first major work for the Company was her appearance in the Hollister Co. Spring-Summer 2007 campaign photography by Bruce Weber. Indeed, this was back when the brand was represented by fresh, romantic, natural photography exuding eternal sun-kissed dream...

#ABERCROMBIEHOT

Fast-forwarding into 2013, this now gracefully matured young beauty made an exclusive return for the "A&F Stars on the Rise" BTS/Fall 2013 campaign. The refreshing campaign, after prior consecutive seasons of monotonous photography, made a return to appreciated A&F traditions of classic, natural settings. Ashley's photography was particularly outstanding above all others for its exceptional evocation of raw, authentic all-American spirit in shining sublimity...

"Glowing with a classic radiance of golden Americana, actor Ashley Hinshaw's quintessential photography, by our icon Bruce Weber, evoke artistically a timeless ideal of nature, labor, and freedom. [Furthermore, with her loveliness recalling lady Columbia, and with the expansive backgrounds idealized as a romanticized frontier, one can also attain a sense of the essence of Manifest destiny as being captured in contemporary form.] Her pieces worn in the photos are denim works by Abercrombie & Fitch following in step with all-American casual attitude. "

– C.E.R., Editor-in-Chief, The Sitch on Fitch

#WELOVEASHLEY!

For our gracious #StarOnTheRise beauty, we can only wish for her a most glorious Manifest destiny across dreams in success...

Stay #FIERCE!

FEATURING

A&F MAGAZINE, FALL 2004

Last week, I introduced you to the collectible premier A&F Magazine from Fall 2004 (see intro here). Now, we proceed this week with what I call "The Interludes" – three wonderful spaced-apart breaks within the pages of profiled rising stars. The Interludes are individual collections of photospreads themed "Sky", "Nature, and "Grass" in their respective order.

For this Part I of The Interludes, I'm taking you to ethereal creative heights with "Sky"...

I challenge you to guess which two famous celebrities are those on the rightside of the above (7th) photo. Leave your answer as a comment below. ;)

Oh, and considering how we're in #HotNewJeansOnTheRise season this BTS 2013, take some time to marvel at how far we've come since Fall 2004 jeans!

This special edition of Tales of Vintage for this week will continue on this upcoming Friday and Saturday with The Interludes' Part II and Part III.

Stay FIERCE...sky-high!
