Balenciaga S/S 2008 : Jennifer Connelly by David Sims

terrible background, terrible choice of girl, terrible pose
 
I think this ad would be better if it was a model, jennifer doesnt look terrible but the concept needs to be changed and well if the right model was in these clothes the ads could be stunning. This wasn't as nice a collection as last though imo.
 
Just for comparison,even this shoot from latest UK Vogue editorial would have made a way better ad.

she was photo chopped to almost look like one of them brazilian supreme girls what's her name pantoliano (sp?)
I was thinking the exact same thing...Carolina Pantoliano...they've made Jennifer look so much like her, especially in the eyes and eyebrows.

Hmm. The Vogue UK editorial does look a lot better than this, but I like what they did with the loud background color in the second picture. And I'm not put off by the weird leg placement very much. It kind of lends to the alien feel of the clothes, how they sculpt a completely new body for the wearer.
 
I like these, I like the awkward appeal.
It's pretty decent, especially for a celeb in a fashion campaign.
 
boring to Balenciaga loveed Jennider but this no are good to summer campaing
 
So the rumors were true.

I honestly love her as an actress, because she`s unbelievably talented but I think in the role of spokesperson pour Balenciaga she`s completely miscast.

It doesn`t capture the essence of the collection, does it? I mean not that there was much of an essence but it looked more artistic on the runway and unbelievably commercial and almost cheap on the pics!
 
If it had to be an actress in this campaign, I'd like to have seen Cate Blanchett. She wears Balenciaga well.
 
clemence posey wears balenciaga best! not to mention her alter ego fleur goes perfectly with the collection
 
yawn! Even though she still has "street cred" and I like the second pic. I hope celebs as model dont become a constant for balenciaga
 
I like Jennifer, but this campaign is horrible. Horrible pose, and even more horrible expression, I think that has something to do with the hair style.
Also the blue background is a really bad choice, the grey one looks a bit better.
And yes, I don't know how but they've managed to make her look like Pantoliano.
 
Daria should have got the campaign...

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, by all means. however by choosing jennifer, nicolas obviously felt that jennifer best suited the collection, not cate blanchett, or a model. and while i love carolina p, jennifer mastered the light eyes-dark hair-strong brow look long before carolina started modeling.
