Aquascutum S/S 2010 : Karlie Kloss and Roch Barbot by Willy Vanderperre

[Flashbang]

KISS ME, KARLIE: Sparks are flying at Aquascutum, with a spring men’s and women’s ad campaign meant to conjure an intimate, fleeting moment. The campaign, shot in a London studio by Willy Vanderperre, features models Karlie Kloss and Roch Barbot. Michael Herz, head of the brand’s women’s wear design, said the shoot was inspired by “escapism, returning from a summer music festival, and dancing in the moonlight. It’s the story of a couple caught before or after an embrace, at dusk or dawn.”

Herz said he chose Vanderperre after working with him on a shoot for the December issue of i-D. “I loved the way he worked with lighting, and in the campaign I wanted to express emotion through light and movement,” said Herz, adding the story of the carefree couple will continue into the fall collection. The spring campaign is the first under the brand’s new owners Belinda Earl and Harold Tillman, and will break in the March issues of the British editions of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire and GQ, and in Vogue Italia and L’Uomo Vogue. — Samantha Conti

She is really having an amazing season! This looks good.

..returning from a summer music festival, and dancing in the moonlight. It’s the story of a couple caught before or after an embrace, at dusk or dawn.

Love his inspiration.
He also couldn't have chosen a better photographer after such a chaotic season for the brand, Willy injects pride and hope in these images.. and Karlie certainly adds a new type of young sophistication as well. My only objection would be Roch's presence, I know it's about a couple but he could've been the hairstylist for all we know.. he doesn't seem that much into it.

 

[Style Savvy]

I love it. Karlie is dominating the fashion scene.

Great lighting, very stylish and a hint of drama. A big fan of Willy's work in general.
Very impressive and this the 3rd campaignthis season I'm liking featuring Karlie Kloss Clearly she is bringing whatever is needed to the very different ads she is appearing in. Maybe I need to re-evalute her modelling ability.

 

[mackos]

I love it. Karlie is dominating the fashion scene.

And I hate it. But the shots look good, actually. It's nice they didn't make her face fully visible.

 

[ALAUU]

^ your so mean! I love the second shot, but I don't like how her hair is all up in her face in the first one. I want to take a comb and just brush all of her hair out of her face.

I agree...Roch is basically just sitting there while Karlie is going all sensually sophisticated.

This is soo not what I was expecting, when I saw the thread title. I was expecting black and white shots, with still poses.
Karlie looks fantastic here. Love the inspiration, can't wait to see more!

 

[thiago:)]

^ haha, I thought the same thing. it's not bad but I need to see more.

 

[Fiercification]

I looove Willy's work, this is the most sensual that I've ever seen Karlie. But they should've chosen a younger male model because those two look like brother and sister at the most, no intimacy really.

 

[missbluejean]

This is stunning
I think Karlie doesn't look like herself here (I'm not saying this as a bad thing btw)

 

[IAmLordZen]

She looks hot in the photos above. Every inch the sexy seductress. The ad looks pretty promising too.

 

[elsaskywalker]

First picture is really sensual, i want more!!

 

[ad041715]

Wow, this is really pretty...but Karlie? Again? *sigh*

 

[xerq]

i would've preferred someone who knows a thing or two about sensuality. she looks unappealing as ever.

 

[abul]

Isn't it weird [and funny] that they called the article "KISS ME, KARLIE"
when she is actually known for not having lips at all

oh and i like the campaign

 

[McQueezy]

I think this might be my favourite ad of the season. It's definitely the best I've ever seen from Karlie.

 

[jacquelineo]

The first shot is amazing. The male model is lifeless. Karlie however looks great in both shots.

 

[Katnani]

I think she looks sexy... The wet effect is amazing!
