Calvin Klein F/W 13.14 : Vanessa Axente by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott

[Crying Diamonds]

I am screaming my heart just stopped beating this is absolutely iconic, and she looks so expensive.

THIS is a campaign. I love the 90's feel of the shots and setting/hair and makeup. All hail the queen!

It is SO 90's.
I always like the honesty of a Calvin Klein Collection campaign - close up shots of the perfection of the clothing.
But I wouldn't call this iconic, I'm afraid. Very Calvin Klein but not iconic.

This campaign just keeps getting better... Vanessa is great.

Every new image just sells it more and more.

Amazing.

Amazing new shot! Absolutely love this campaign. I mean, it would be even better if she showed a little more range in facial expressions but you don't see all the images at once in magazines anyway.

Does Vanessa remind anyone of a young Karolina Kurkova in some of these shots? I swear she looks like her little sister.

Is she a new comer? or been in the industry for quite sometimes?

Is she a new comer? or been in the industry for quite sometimes?

Been signed to her mother agency since 2010, walked Chanel show in Tokyo at 15, did Céline Pre-fall 2011, then opened Prada / Céline / Valentino Fall 2012, Prada exclusive again for Spring 2013. I would definitely say she is a newcomer but at the same time she really isn't if that makes any sense at all.

simply divine. sigh.

Another flawless campaign from Mert & Marcus for Calvin Klein. Although I think this season, due to the the presence of Vanessa Axente, trumps all of Lara Stone's previous campaigns. It's fascinating how a change in face can revive the same aesthetic. However, don't get me wrong, I did enjoy just about every single one of Lara's campaigns.. but Vanessa's a welcomed change. These are so effortless and I think the phrase 'less is more' is the motto for these wonderful images.

Personally I like Lara's much better. I do think that this is a lovely elegant campaign but I miss personallity and attitude. I missed that also in her Prada campaigns.
I would have liked to see more variety in facial expressions. It's like another member said that it's a good thing that they don't all come out at once in a spread. That said i still think it's a gorgeous campaign but not iconic.

Suprised that she is not exclusive for them like Lara and Suvi were.

Every shot of this campaign is amazing, no doubt one of the best ads from this season
