amazing concept.
i dont think Karmen face expression helps but ohh well. she looks like Bianca balti a lil,no?

i really dont get what is so amazing about the concept?

Hmm.. After the big runway statement they made I was expecting a little more than this.. Karmen looks lovely, but this is very underwhelming. I wan't more shots!

 

[ZFashionBlog]

I absolutely love it, yay for Karmen.

Karmen is gorgeous, the clothes are... interesting, Jack did a wonderful job. This shot is great. I'm in love. This is really the best campaign so far. I can't wait to see more.

I expect more when I knew Karmen shot for the campaign, this is not bad, but just..........not good enough

NEW LENS: Bottega Veneta tapped contemporary artist and photographer Jack Pierson for its spring ad campaign, set to hit fashion magazines worldwide in February. Expressing long-standing admiration for Pierson’s work, Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier praised the new campaign images, noting they “capture the complexity as well as the joy of the collection,” which embraces intensely bright colors and intricate textures.

One image shows model Karmen Pedaru posing by the gently sparkling ocean in a lush dress with a pleated skirt and bodice top, delicate green triangles dangling from her ears.

Shot in Coconut Grove, Fla., the campaign is the latest in a series of collaborations between the Italian brand and a diverse array of photographers including, most recently, Mona Kuhn, Robert Polidori and Alex Prager. A video documenting Pierson’s photo shoot will be available online when the campaign launches.

besides the heavy handed photoshop its quite stunning. i just cant take it seriously when she looks like a painting.

I like it, at least you can really see the clothes with detail and love the fact that there's no accessories except for the earrings which match perfectly with the dress and background. I have a little problem with the Sea background, maybe it could've been more sharp at the top of the picture, but it's a great shot at the end for me.
And Karmen's pose and stare make more excited about this, i think she looks gorgeous.

i love Karmen but this is just dull
dull styling, dull pose, dull hair, dull makeup.. the only thing that caught my attention was Karmen's eyes, really beautiful!

dont feel any luxury on this Cosmopolitan-ish photo.

I think it's absolutely stunning. I love the deep green on the super-bright background, and the water makes everything look really desirable. I wish Karmen was a bit more expressive though, she looks bored more than anything else.

I like it but the background looks fake

 

[valliaddict]

I love Karmen, but I really wish they would have chosen a black girl for this. I'm not even a fan of Nyasha, but I think she would have killed it.

karmen is beautiful!
