Ok, so I was holding out judgment until I saw more and now that I have I have no qualms about saying that I hate this.

The clothes aren't displayed particularly well, the backdrop is bland (despite the intentionally fake looking water, which just looks odd), the girls don't look particularly good and I don't think it has anything to do with the hair/makeup, and the images themselves are just lifeless. The colors are beautiful, but that's all the positive I'm able to wring out of these images. I wasn't really expecting for this campaign to be better than last seasons', but I liked the show enough that I wasn't expecting to hate it either.

Overall it's weak...
I don't want to bring this discussion back again, but I feel I have to say it... It would be so much better to have Sasha again, imo.

I hate how the bags are so big that it covered the clothes.

Same here. After seeing the whole thing, there are crappy pictures as well as there are good ones, but I'm liking it more. I do feel like the clothes are not displayed propperly. There were so many things I felt these ads could develop, like a gladiatorium or a countryside but overall it's decent. This is more an accessories campaign...

I'm really loving the coats picture. I think there's a nice exposure of the coats and the matching bags.

Yes, it sure was. I saw this one in magazine and it's in the right direction (the opposite one).

they all look like someone is holdin an object in front of them
as if they are at the eye doctor and he is telling them to follow the object
wherever it goes with your eyes..in this case he kept it in front of them

I'm actually surprised at how much I like this. The concept doesn't even compare to last season, but I like this one.
I'm pleased that they kept the styling from the show.

The lookbook has been posted in the Designer's/Collection forum and I have to say it is more interesting to me than this. They even changed the hair in some shots.

Thanks slow_hands for posting.
This is a rather weak campaign for me after last season's greatness.
