why do hire her when you try to make her look like a complete different person?

I think this is verging on being too sterile for a brand that is famous for being understated.
These are clothes that are worn by real people - they aren't just unwearable pieces of art like Calvin Klein - they need to be set in more natural situations to make them feel less icy. It's getting there, but Daphne Guiness creatively sat on a stool with a severe haircut and a matte-finish face does not make me want Akris.

this is her third season, correct? I guess I just never understood this pairing. She works as a model, she looks good, but she is more of a personality than just a model. A brand isn't going to book her just as a model. However, she is barely recognizable in these ads and the fashion savvy audience that knows Daphne knows she would never dress like this. It is just a strange pairing.

I like the way she holds her legs. Creepy yet comfy-looking.
