Valentino S/S 08 : Amber, Anja, Raquel and Shalom by Inez & Vinoodh

i only like the dress the hair is really annoying!!!

[sassyposh]

anja's shots are nice. no wonder she is one of the most bankable model of our time. i love the faceless ads and with the models showing their faces. great, great, great! love it so much.

well, it is a nice way to leave the fashion business.

mr. valentino, you are surely to be missed and of course, your "red" pieces too.

like a gossip girl book:"nobody does it better"

What a way to go out with a bang! It's got everyone talking, whether they like it or not. Great advertising technique. Everyone has done their job, even the "pointless" models. Their experience and name are important to an ad like this, and it probably means a lot to them on a personal/occupational level to be a part of something new and different. Well done.

http://www.fashionfile.com/ has a video of the making of the campign

[mikel]

thanks! Very interesting to see how they did that shoot.

it's pretty funny to see how Shalom steals it all every single time. i mean, look at the girl, she's always at THE center of attention, something i noticed in the 'making of video' of chloe campaign featuring Shalom, Anja and Freja. Contrary, Anja seems to be very down to earth and even kind of shy. She's amazing and really intelligent girl. Love her so much.
the video is awesome and it's always great to see I&V at work. really flamboyant and lively.

i just knew the "without face" shots and then saw a few ones.... I didn't know the whole campain before seeing this video (which is interesting on a certain level).... but where's Amber Valeta????? Are they sure Amber was there???

[cul8tr]

^ Yes. She was there (I think). Look at post #154. Girl in the black dress is Amber.


And what about "without face" camapign, who are the models? Anja, Shalom, Raquel and Amber or some others?

lol. I so agree. She should not have been booked for that show. She cant work it for sh*t anymore. Shalom's got her beat, in every sense...also she saw to it that she would be in more ads than Amber.

That's my girl. She deserves it.

i loved these ads although i did think the point and flash technique looked a little cheap for valentino

[vogue28]

when your looking at the start of the thread the campaign is wierd (bags over faces) and then later on in the thread, they start to change. strange.

[helmut.newton]

^^^ Yes, that was strange.

What were those beginning shots? Test shots?

[mikel]

No, just a different campaign.
