Campaign season is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do we get to experience the best of spring 2012 fashion week all over again, but if we’re going to be totally honest, we’d rather see models at a candy-colored tea party or hovering above the ocean than walking on a runway. In the spirit of spreading the love, we’ve rounded up our favorite spring ad campaigns. Check out our list and leave a comment to let us know if we left anyone out!

Louis Vuitton We stopped attending tea parties around the time we stopped talking to our stuffed animals but the candy-coated LV spring campaign made us want to break out our tea sets and send out some hand written invitations.

Plein Philip Plein We love a comeback story and we rue the day when a Mean Girls reference doesn’t have a place in every possible conversation. That’s why we love Philip Plein’s spring ads, featuring the good-girl-gone-bad-gone-to-jail Lindsay Lohan.

Miu Miu Even though they gave Hailee Steinfeld the boot after feeling the heat from critics who didn’t think a 15-year old should be representing a brand most 15-year olds can’t afford, we’re still fans of Miu Miu’s colorful, portrait-esque spring ads featuring Mia Wasikowska.

Chanel Chanel’s spring ad campaign proves that models do work hard. Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls performed gymnastics moves over the ocean for some breathtaking shots. We weren’t the only ones who were impressed. Fashionista posted a behind-the-scenes video, showing how the acrobatic editorial was made.

Versace Versace’s spring collection has strong oceanic currents in all the pieces so we were pumped too see the somewhat literal interpretation in their blue-tinted spring ad campaign. The editorial shots featured Giselle Bundchen poolside as well as in the water.

Hervé Léger In Hervé Léger’s spring campaign, Fatima Siad proves that you don’t need to win America’s Next Top Model to become one of America’s next top models. We’re absolutely loving how fierce the third-place finalist of Cycle 10 looks in the minimalistic, highly stylized ads.

Oscar de la Renta New blogger Karlie Kloss was the only source of color in a black and white world in this mind-bending spring campaign. With a constantly shifting maze of a floor and larger-than-life doorways, we were getting major Alice and  Wonderland vibes.

Roberto Cavalli Cavalli featured supermodel legends Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Kristen McMenamy, along with 16-year-old newcomer Daphne Groeneveld in their spring ad campaign. We loved the high level of glam and high level of skill in these posh spreads.
