Thank you. And I agree about the J'Adore ad, thank you for posting. Carmen SOLD me on that fragrance before I even smelled it. She was PERFECT choice for this campaign, (I loathe who has replaced her since) and I remember when it first premiered, I bought it still without smelling it from Bloomie's on 59th street. I wanted the promo big cards they had of Carmen, and asked them if I could have one, but they said no.

I still love this fragrance and I think of Carmen always connected to it.

The commercial, which I could watch over, and over...couldnt find an english version however.

Thank-you Rado for all you're fantastic scans
No doubt you're scanner will be working overtime right now.

Also Tyler thanks for posting that commercial, it really is something else.....kinda get lost in it.
Haven't seen it in a while so great to see it again.

this j'adore ad is absolutely legendary now - first saw it in 2000 or 1999 on a magazine on an airplane and it totally captured my imaginations

rado, those scans are of superior quality indeed and make me ever hungrier for more!

 

[radolgc]

Unfortunatelly I am going to Uk in a few days and will not be able to scan forever;((
The scans are even bigger, but i had to resize them
As for the DIOR fragrance video...I have it in its original version with Carmen's voice!!!!!!!!!!!AMAZING!!!!!!!!!and then when I saw the fake version...sounded very dissapointing.

 

[LetThemEatCake]

That's awesome to have that signed!!! So lucky! *You are-envied, adored, in awe of..*

(who was the photographer for Dior? Meisel ? refresh my memory)

 

[thiago:)]

Mondino?

 

[radolgc]

) that was the luckiest moment of my life! I have no idea who shot the DIOR AD.
here my other treasure...the 2 most Iconic photos of Carmen and i think ever taken in history)

 

[radolgc]

yes, it can be Mondino!!! good guess

 

[thiago:)]

And the French Vogue supplement 2008 was actually posted, but not in that great quality. Thank you very much for scanning!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Oh was it Jean-baptiste Mondino? That sounds familiar and accurate.

Yes, he generally photographs Dior pefum ads. The last one (I think) that was shot by him was that one with Lily D. But he has also shot that one with Leticia B... Sorry, I don't rembember the names

Rado, just seen the narciso ad now, and you've brought it back!! Love this autograph of hers! And she drew a heart! And put the date!! So still envious!! Lucky lucky you!!

I have to agree with you! That image is pure perfection and with the autograph it's so much better.

 

[Northern Star]

^^Totally envious.....you're very lucky to have them RadoB)

 

[jiaqi]

but who shot tiiu for dior perfum, the one that completely parodied carmen's splendid work? that weak imitation has to be among the least respectable photography works there ever were

 

[prettypouf]

Rado, I am so envious!
I love her eds for Dior fragrance that you posted as well.
She is gorgeous and she looks so young!

 

[fadedcolours]

Thanks for all the wonderful scans radolgc!
Oh and I am completely in love with the way she signs her name, I can't even explain it properly. Makes me hate my handwriting.

 

[jiaqi]

^ agreed. carmen's handwriting almost matches her own beauty
