• Marie Claire Dedicates 10-Page Spread To One Advertiser Designer

    All-American fashion, according to Marie Claire's July issue, apparently runs the gamut from Ralph Lauren, to Ralph Lauren Collection, to Ralph Lauren Black Label. An object lesson in the special ladymag economics of free advertising, after the jump.

    Marie Claire Dedicates 10-Page Spread To One Advertiser Designer

    It is pretty damn exciting to see a black model -- Ariel Meredith is from Shreveport, Louisiana, and has modeled for everything from H&M to Vera Wang to D&G to Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition -- cast in an "All-American" story, the kind of U.S. seasonal set piece that usually requires A Blonde With Boobs. But, again, it's impossible to ignore the unusual over-representation of Ralph Lauren items: dress, $180, Lauren by Ralph Lauren Dress Collection. Jacket, $795, Polo Ralph Lauren. Shoes, POA, Ralph Lauren Collection, Belt, $2,795, Ralph Lauren Collection. Watch, POA, Ralph Lauren Watch & Jewelry. Cuff, $900, bracelet, $2,750, Ralph Lauren Vintage. Cameron Diaz is also sporting Ralph Lauren on the front of the magazine, wearing a $198 denim shirt by Ralph Lauren Blue Label.
