Reminds me of Céline a bit.

 

[DutchHomme]

I like the collection but dislike these images

 

[GivenchyHomme]

It looks very Marc Jacobs. It could go either way.

You can tell they barely put any effort at al in this, new level of lazy

This is weird and unappealing. I only kind of like the shot with the red curtain because I like that outfit.

 

[narcyza]

Everything is wrong here.

 

[anonid]

It looks too harsh for Weir's usual aesthetic

Harley does her best Juergen Teller who already did it better for Celine.

 

[gazebo]

I like the fabrication of it all.

Poorly version of this

My first reactiok was also "This looks exactly like that Elise ed by Meisel".

Happy to see Alek though but looks like backstage shots. Only the one with the vinyl caps is pretty striking.

It's like a darker version of Juergen Teller. It's not pretty but very fitting to Demna's aesthetic. He sees beauty in strangeness.

^ is it strange though? looking like your common fashion ad next to the Austrians (to put a random example).

Sometimes I feel like I contribute to the vulture-esque culture where you find yourself yelling "NEXT! MORE!" within a season or two, but really, when you look at Harley's work from 2012 (Leur Logette, etc).. and when you look at the way these legendary/established photographers (Demarchelier, Vanderperre, Turbeville in an extreme case.. even Teller) have nurtured their work along the years and redirected it slowly as they assimilate moods and elements that suit their work.. I'm sure the problem isn't really just the spectator, but the lack of interest among younger photographers in staying firm to their identity, finding their own voice or exploring something to some depth that challenges their own work before walking (instead of jumping) onto the next thing. They're willing to do or imitate whatever or whomever is necessary for exposure. So we end up with everyone looking like everyone and being perfectly replaceable.

I'm sure the whole point of luxury labels is to cater to the shallow and so extremely trendy they enter that awkward smug territory where they're not sure what they're attracted to is an actual trend or a byproduct of their one-of-a-kind mind .. so these three pictures accomplish the mission.

Wholeheartedly agree with you here! Only this looks far more pretentious. Which is about right when you think of the new Balenciaga. I was looking forward to see this campaign, some of the pieces are really good. It's a shame these images does nobody justice, not the models, Weir nor the clothes.

Poorly version of this

Because Meisel holds a trademark on red curtains of all things

 

[TaylorBinque]

I makes me feel depressed. Not sure if the image itself or just the level of effort they put into this. I am not buying any nonsense they would come up with this.

 

[Lola701]

Pretentious. I'm don't have any time for this...
NEXT!

It looks like something Marc Jacobs would have done 10 years ago...
