Valentino F/W 12.13 : Caroline, Frida & Monika by Deborah Turbeville

PALAZZO VALENTINO: The ornate Sicilian Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi in Palermo serves as the background for Valentino’s fall campaign, lensed by Deborah Turbeville. In her second effort with the Italian house, the photographer zoomed in on the red gowns by creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, juxtaposed against the plush carpets, dripping chandeliers and imposing, gilded doors of the Palazzo, a jewel of Sicilian Baroque architecture, where director Luchino Visconti chose to film some of the most memorable scenes of his 1963 film “Il Gattopardo.”

“Deborah captures her models emphasizing the values of the Valentino women exquisitely. They’re sophisticated, romantic and dreamy, but with a dark modern edge,” said Chiuri. The campaign will bow in July.

Frida, Jac, and Caroline by Deborah Turbeville, I believe

marsnoop2 · 25-06-2012

this house has had such boring campaigns lately and this is no exception.

TREVOFASHIONISTO · 25-06-2012

^to match their clothes perhaps. But I do like their campaigns under her, even if it is girls wondering in mysterious places again

At least the background is interesting this time. But yeah they're in the same boat as Dolce and Gabbana imo. Its all so boring and so "done before".

It looks very similar to previous campaigns, but so excited to see Caroline landing a blue chip campaign again!!

visualoptimism · 26-06-2012

it looks nice but it's a little boring and too similar to the last one. i do like the red and the model cast though.

vladimiryeo · 26-06-2012

The setting is great but those girls are not giving 100%

testinofan · 26-06-2012

Look good but im not fan to repeat style of previus seasson

yesitsdagny · 26-06-2012

my favorite trio!!! the preview doesn't excite me that much but I hope the rest of the shots are better

LagerfeldBoy · 26-06-2012

I love that they're working with Deborah again.
Oh, and I'm SO happy to see Caroline B. here. Ugh, she's so Valentino for me.

I couldn't agree more with you.

So I guess this is the campaign where Zuzanna was replaced by Jac and Frida. Too bad because she would have rocked this a thousand times more. Very happy for Caroline!
I think the campaign is gorgeous! I really like the darkness of it, it fits the collection as well!

Caroline and Jac are the perfect Valentino girls, I'm happy to see them return for their third time and for Frida to finally have her debut with the brand. Very well deserved.

I love the setting a lot more than last season's as it feels more appropriate in a way. I'm still not sure what the point of it all is though, and it's a little boring as others have mentioned, but it's certainly beautiful albeit somewhat empty. Last season's campaign had the same problem imo.

I guess I'll wait to see it in higher quality and for further shots.

very silmilar to previous ones. they need to do more OG I think...

very boring
