Donna Karan F/W 07.08 : Catherine McNeil by Mario Testino
wwd
NEW TALENT: For her fall Collection campaign, Donna Karan has gone after the next big thing. Catherine McNeil, touted as one of a new crop of up-and-coming models, is featured in the ads, which, in typical Donna manner, are meant to evoke a celebration of the power of a woman. After several years, Karan has reunited with photographer Mario Testino, who discovered the Australian model. The campaign was shot at the Baryshnikov Arts Center within the 37 Arts building at 450 West 37th Street and features McNeil among a gaggle of men in black suits, black shirts and black ties, with cool black sunglasses. The campaign will break in August issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair and W, and run through October in major fashion and lifestyle books, including Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country and Interview. — Marc Karimzadeh
I like the mood of the ad, but Catherine looks off, she seems so over-photoshopped in a way, I hope it has to do with the size of the picture.

I looked at the guys first. Tried to ID them too but with no success
This Catherine/Testino thing is getting on my nerves, though!..
