This is absolutely fantastic! I love the pose, love the muscles, love the greyscale, and most importantly love the clothes. (I love you, Fachinetti!)

The Valentino aesthetic has never been and will never be about the agressive, empowered supermodel like that of Versace and Alaia.

His aesthetic is timeless beauty, classic beauty etc. Seymour is none of these.

are you serious? Stephanie has been the image of Valentino before, Fall 1992 campaign by Walter Chin (pic attached:source:stephanie-seymour.de)

if there's a feminine woman in the world that's stephanie, the way she talks, the way she moves, I really can't believe what I am reading here

it's Stéphanie Seymour ... not Madonna ! or even a young Schwarzneger (sp. ?) open the eyes and stop thinking snejanavladamoussakamagdalena has the most perfect body

god, the same here

now a womanly body means masculinity? wow!

Feminity's nothing to do with someone's body...

[KissMiss]

This is ridiculous! She is a real healthy beautiful woman with fantastic body! I am sure in printed version it will look even better! I prefer to see these kind of women who reflect natural beauty than dry-skin-sceletons!

P.S. by the way the other day ive been watchin French television and there was a reportage about designers boutiques in Paris... and how easily they make 30% discount in case is the customer asks for one... Valentino's store one of them and it is not surprising when the market is soooo low designer are getting back to the great names and faces cos ''sceletons'' do not sell at all.

^ It has been confirmed by IMG.

I hated this at first, but after a second look, I find it strangely captivating.

Yes I just saw that thank you

[Urban Stylin]

its a nice ad though the muscle is abit too much

[cesarcmma]

I think her body is nice, and her face is gorg here...but I hate b&w ads...come on... are ADS you have to see the clothes and the colors to make you think "I want that dress", it's a nice fashion photo but not an outstanding ad campaign.

oh...and I'm so sad Alessandra is gone...she would have put some color in this...
