Balenciaga S/S 2008 : Jennifer Connelly by David Sims - Page 7

La bordélique · 08-01-2008

I would have liked the one with orange dress on blue background much more if the dress had kept its original shape... it looks as if she broke her hip or something.

i like her, but the ads are not really nice.

I loved the collection and the ads do it justice imo.
I think it's great they kept the ads as simple as possible because the pieces are very "loud" themselves.

^that is a good point

Seeing this campaign just makes me think of how great Egle T would be in it if not Jennifer. Carolina Pantaliano would have easily succeeded in this look if they were looking for a more budget wise production of this campaigns since she seems to look an awful lot like Connelly.

I am really not liking this at all...the pose seems awkward and it just has something not quite right about it. Although, i do think the last 2 are better, and that the clothes look pretty amazing

I didnt' care for the collection, but I think these ads have turned out pretty nice, I prefer these over the last few seasons..

OMG and i thought this couldnt get worse,goodness.

First, I find Jennifer totally wrong for this. She simply can't pull of the outfits from S/S. I would have liked to see Charlotte Gainsbourg in these. Second, the collection was so directional, I think the ad really needed to place these looks into a context, and simply placing the model in front of a grey wall did not create a context here.

PARIS — Leave it to Nicolas Ghesquière to use the power of celebrity on his own terms — and in a season when many brands reverted to models in advertising. "It's the friendship: That's why she did the campaign," Ghesquière said of Jennifer Connelly, who appears in Balenciaga's spring campaign, breaking in February fashion titles. "I've been after her for a few years now."

I like Jennifer Connelly but I can't help but wonder, with the look they're going for in these ads, why not use Carolina Pantoliano? Much more graceful and obv would be a million times better at posing while providing the same type of 'look'.

I saw jennifer in "little children", she had a little role. And I can't really feel her, not my favourite actress. (Kate Winslet was great in it btw.)
