Calvin Klein Collection S/S 2009 : Anna Selezneva by David Sims

^ i don't know what to say

Suvi was better, like someone already said, she was more dynamic, Anna is just boring..

 

[hfgl]

I like the men's campaign.Very nice colors.

I love fabien baron's use of angles from the past campaigns, the only thing that made me look forward for these ads. But it turned out really disappointing.

but david sims, on the other hand, did an awesome job for the menswear. Great lightings as usual.

the accessories ad looks very good, but the clothes should definitely be photographed in color. and I don't find anna suitable for this. why can't they just sign suvi as their new natalia? they have used her already three times, and even got back to her after toni's campaign. she IS the calvin klein model of today. well, looking forward to the fall season...

oh and LOVE the mens campaign! this is the way anna and the clothes should have been photographed!

 

[mackos]

For some reason I love the men's campaing

This isn't the best I've seen Anna S look. But this is the best i've ever seen the clothes -- their boxy shape is showcased, but in a way that makes them look really figure-flattering in the ads (def more so than they did on the runway, and on the random celebs that have worn this collection to date). Which, I guess, is ultimately why I like this ad; the mixture of the newness of the shape of the clothes and the classic hour-glass figure they create.

2 new ads in the feb issue of interview:


snaps by me (sorry for the bad quality - i don't have a scanner)

 

[AnaBGD]

^ thanks for the snaps.

These are just as bad (if not worse) than the first one. They could've and should've done so much more with Anna...

 

[helmut.newton]

This is really really horrendous. Besides the fact that Anna S looks terrible - the way they've chosen to market this collection is all wrong.

The boxy/architectural pieces were already intimidating on the runway - why did they not go the other way and try to soften the image?

I mean really; this is perfect for an editorial showcasing the structural futurism of the collection but for an ad campaign in order to sell the collection?!

To me this campaign is a collective of bad choices and bad decisions; aesthetic and otherwise.

 

[cake_batter]

love the last two. so chic. but wtf is with her hair. the mens ads are delicious.

 

[Ed..]

Can someone please post again the picture in #61? I can't see it. Thanks in advance

my same words....I couldn't agree more....

and one thing are pretty cheekbones like Kinga's...but Anna's are scary

 

[vogue28]

I quite like the new shots, thanks for posting.
BORING! is the only word to describe the concept. Anna looks stunning though, the styling on her is great.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I have to say, although its boring, i still strangely am attracted to this.

 

[Northern Star]

I really think someone is taking the piss with this campaign I am starting to 'get' the concept, but it is just sloppy as hell and how the hell anyone could make someone as beautiful as Anna S. look this horrible in a top drawer worldwide campaign is beyond me.

well said!
Anna S. looks like a scarecrow in these and what a bad way to try and sell your collection!

 

[Li Ya Fan]

Anna Selezneva took this ad from boring to hideous. She looks like a scrawny duck in profile.

Probably the worst Calvin Klein campaign ever. But I haven't liked any of Fabien Baron's photography efforts for Calvin, his/their new vision doesn't resonate with me at all, and while Fabien's a "good" photographer (what a multi-talented man), he's not up there with the masters.

Calvin Klein Collection selected model Anna Selezneva, who walked in the September runway show, for its spring campaign, replacing Suvi, who has been the on-and-off face of the Collection for the past few seasons. Fabien Baron remains creative director, even though he didn’t shoot the campaign, which was photographed by David Sims. It’s the first time he’s shot the Collection campaign since fall 2001 (however, Sims has shot other campaigns for Calvin Klein since then).

the shots are ok...

i like the concept, but Anna S looks unimpressive. (if not downright bad).
