^ that one looks already so much better than the one with the orange background...I have to see them in print

This is one of those knee-jerk reaction situations when my NY accent is loud and clear in my head saying "you gotta be kidding me". Like I said, knee-jerk.

This is it, this is all they could come up with with those bizarre shapes, loud florals and David Sims?

The only good thing is that you can see details in the closeup shots.

you mean orange dress blue backround right?

The new one looks better.

oooo I love this one, the blue really compliements her dark hair beautifully, this is my fav Balenciaga campaign since fall 05!

I love this campaign, Jennifer looks like an warrior, Jean D'Arc! Amazing!

oops yes that's what I meant

 

[La bordélique]

I would have liked the one with orange dress on blue background much more if the dress had kept its original shape... it looks as if she broke her hip or something.

i like her, but the ads are not really nice.

I loved the collection and the ads do it justice imo.
I think it's great they kept the ads as simple as possible because the pieces are very "loud" themselves.

 

[mikel]

^that is a good point

Seeing this campaign just makes me think of how great Egle T would be in it if not Jennifer. Carolina Pantaliano would have easily succeeded in this look if they were looking for a more budget wise production of this campaigns since she seems to look an awful lot like Connelly.

I am really not liking this at all...the pose seems awkward and it just has something not quite right about it. Although, i do think the last 2 are better, and that the clothes look pretty amazing

I didnt' care for the collection, but I think these ads have turned out pretty nice, I prefer these over the last few seasons..

 

[Miss Dalloway]

OMG and i thought this couldnt get worse,goodness.

First, I find Jennifer totally wrong for this. She simply can't pull of the outfits from S/S. I would have liked to see Charlotte Gainsbourg in these. Second, the collection was so directional, I think the ad really needed to place these looks into a context, and simply placing the model in front of a grey wall did not create a context here.
