One thing I love most about flipping through a new issue of a fashion magazine is seeing what the design houses have thought up for their new ad campaigns. After all, the biggest and best names in the fashion world need to produce ads that live up the expectations set by their runway shows. These ads are meticulously crafted works of editorial art, encompassing the feeling of the brand and a taste of the given season into one beautifully photographed package.

It may be a guilty pleasure, but I almost get more excited to see the direction of the ads than the actual contents of the magazine. Anyways here are some of the best Fall Winter 2011 Ad Campaigns so far, enjoy the contrast between the brightness of M by Missoni, the faded classiness of Louis Vuitton and the strangeness of Marc Jacobs.
