Yes i thought about it and the collection is actually most suitable for Linda
it kind of has a uptight older woman look to it

I don't like this. They should have kept Sasha..

I agree

[keica]

She annoys me, espeacially her eyebrows.

[flyingace]

those shadows that don't match with the poses are quite ridiculous.
And I don't like that too forced pose of Linda, it reminds me of one of those articulable action figures that remain static in every position you leave them. If we combine that with the excessive retouching it's going to have, she's going to look like a real plastic figure. The could have used one actually they would have saved the money of hiring a model.

[TheVeed]

If we're going to use older models, can we keep their purpose and NOT retouch the hell out of them?!? I'm tired of seeing women in their 30s/40s/50s retouched to an inch of a botoxed, skin-grafted 12 year old.

Please... everyone, STOP.

Why not just use Natalia Chabanenko if you're going to get retouched like her?

[bedtimestorynyc]

she looks great!!! great ad and linda is great in it!!!

mind you i LOVED sasha in every campaign - she's the best model out there!!!

That's my main problem with this. I find it so hypocritical and annoying. Either make use of her age (there's nothing wrong it, damn it) or cast some random 14 year old .

Linda already has a botoxed face, and adding photoshop to it will make her look like she's 20 or something. She looks so frozen and the pose is very forced, I don't like it at all. I hope the rest of the campaign is good.

I miss Sasha too, but as many people mentioned, this collection is a very mature collection, and I don't think Sasha would be able to work it that well. It was smart to use an older model. But for me, Sasha will always be the Prada girl.

[taben]

I hate this... I love the collection, but Linda is so annoying and looks so bad IMO...

[Amelia]

I like Linda in this. But it's boring, reminds me of Miu Miu campaigns location.. but this is even worse. Like trying to focus on Linda. I wanted something more, I hope there's more..

[Street_a_Licious]

i didn't know who that guy was til i googled him. he's the same dude who did the S/S H&M ads. flashy...

[izzie stevens]

Her facial expression killed it.
