( For more FW0708 fashion ad campaigns :I, III, IV, V, VI)
DSquared2
models: Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermannn, Hilary Rhoda
After last season’s Karen Elson, DSquared2 has decided to turn to more modelling powerhouses– Caroline, Raquel (why do photographers like to pair the two of them together?) and Hilary. Love the classic black & white settings paired with some ultra cool styling… can you say ‘teenage rebellion’?
Costume National
model: Julia Stegner
Don’t you think this ad lacks creativity? Anyway, that jacket Julia’s wearing is adorable.
Calvin Klein
model: Suvi Koponen
Finnish model Suvi, who famously opened the Prada SS07 show, replaces the pregnant Natalia Vodianova in another super serious and very straightforward ad from Calvin Klein. The silhouettes & details of the gown & neckline are amazing. CK ads don’t need much settings, poses or atmosphere, the clothes says it all, they are a statement on its own.
Chloe
models: Shalom Harlow, Anja Rubik and Freja Beha
Oops, I’ve only gotten half of the picture but anyway, from what I can see here, it looks almost the same as last season’s ad. Shalom looks a little like Keira Knightley here don’t you agree? And I love Anja’s new bob haircut. This collection has a ‘rebel’ theme but I’m not seeing much of that here..
Bottega Venetta
models: Inguna Butane, Anja Rubik, Kim Noorda
This label is such a symbol of softness, feminine, class and sophistication and I think this ad stands for all that. The dressing table, the gloomy mood… it’s quietly beautiful.
Dolce & Gabbana
models: Coco Rocha, Vlada Rosylakova, Kasia Struss, Georgia Frost & Hye Park
The Italian design duo’s concept of ad campaign is getting boring. They love to use sexual elements to sell the products but keep insisting there’s ‘art’ within those shots. Underage girls playing with a bunch of naked men? Also, there is the theme of slavery and cruelty clearly shown here.
D&G
models:Rachel Clark, Erin Heatherton, Johanna Jonsson, Milagros Schmoll, Iekeliene Stange
The D&G ads look better though. The lightings and the golden metallic background… it’s pure class & glamour.
Calvin Klein Jeans
models: Lara Stone & Jamie Burke
After last season’s Kate Moss & Jamie Dornan, the latest ‘Beauty & Hunk’ pairing goes to the very promising Lara Stone & Jamie Burke (?).
Kenzo
model: Olga Sherer
I’m still in love with last season’s very graphically artistic ads and the latest from Kenzo are not disappointing I say. There’s this ’spanish’ thing going on in that collection and I think Olga totally rocked these shots.
Longchamp
model: Kate Moss
These ads are very dreamy but very dark in tone. I think this is the best Kate Moss Longchamp ad campaign of all.
Gucci
model: Natasha Poly
Ladies watch out. That Gucci indy bag is going to be one of the hottest bags this season.
Burberry
models: Agyness Deyn, Lily Donaldson, Kiera Gormley, Morwenna Lytton Cobbold and Georgia Frost.
No Kate Moss! *gasp* But Agyness Deyn took over as the campaign star leading another bevy of English belles to front this FW0708 ad campaign. Love the cool & edgy look of the collection, it suits Aggy so well.
Jimmy Choo
model: Heather Marks
These ads are quite bland and a little boring considering the fact that Jimmy Choo is a luxury brand and I can’t see much glamour here. Plus, Heather is too baby-faced to pull off that rich-girl-jetsetter-look.
Marc Jacobs
models: Hartje, Olga and Alyona
