Chanel F/W 11.12 : Freja Beha Erichsen by Karl Lagerfeld

[fluxxx]

OMG worse than the previous season, last season was boring and this one even worse....

 

[tentalicious]

I'm officially sick of Karl's photography why he can't just get his act together and thrill us with his creations...

 

[Kite]

I will happily take his job, and i promise you all, i will hire a photographer for the campaigns!

Well... it's very Karl... as in... 'strange' (but not in a good way) ... but NOT very Chanel.
I dunno, I don't really like the whole 'dark and misunderstood' direction Karl Lagerfeld's going in at the moment. It all feels a bit angsty teen.

 

[*ana*]

The excessive repetition of models and Karl's lack of talent as a photographer have been making Chanel ads a bore, although never exactly ugly. It seems Carine saved it this time, though. I like what I see, and I'm very curious to see the rest.

 

[holaloha]

oh my god. karl really needs to stop doing the ad campaigns. theyre getting extremely old and stale (i mean freja again... really?? for the 87908607th time?). this one is possibly the worst one yet..

 

[balmain1914]

narcissistic lagerfeld never realizes how awful his photography is.

 

[alonsoJonathan]

well i prefer the "boring" but gorgeous pictures from chanel past season than this boring and weird pictures this just do not fit the chanel image for me

 

[jeremydante]

im bored with this.
i like freja, but there seems to never be any real concept of versatility for the label in terms of model casting. karl is always using the same people & the design concepts are too similar from season to season, year after year. we need something new & fresh.

i know karl likes to shoot the campaigns & look book images but i feel like it would be super dope if mert + marcus did something super classic for a campaign.

Given that I've had no interest in Freja from the moment I first saw her, for me, Chanel's main campaigns have stretched into an endless sea of boredom - one which manages to worsen whenever they include the embarrassment that is Baptiste.

 

[pavonine]

It looks as if Terry Richardson shot it!

 

[elle_gb]

I'm really excited to see this campaign as a whole, Karl shooting and Freja fronting it yeah no surprise at all but what is really fascinating is the concept with Carine on the line. The preview itself look promising and provoking than usual. So i am finger cross hoping its turn out great.

A bit more about the campaign from The Cut:

His recent projects include the fall 2011 Chanel campaign, famously styled by Carine Roitfeld, and shot by Lagerfeld in a photo booth. “It’s about one woman who is transformed,” he said, mysteriously. And apparently we at The Cut aren’t the only people interested. “Everybody talked about this campaign and wants to see it,” he said. “Apparently there’s already a few images on the net. They were stolen; because we had shown nothing.” He has no idea how the photos leaked.

When I saw this thread's title I thought "Oh, how innovative" . I'd like to see more pics to judge.

 

[Whats Ur Name]

Is this a real campaign?? Are they serious??

 

[Street_a_Licious]

stolen? explains the quality

 

[carmen_kass]

I can't with first image. Who goes into a photo booth looking like the sluttiest widow ever ?!?

 

[Purpledinosaurxo]

I usually love the Chanel campaigns, this is just scary

 

[ParisFashionMuse]

as for me i can never get over freja and karl just like i cant ever get over poly and gucci. its just a match and it works.

however, compared to last season beautiful campaign this is too bleak for chanel. not moving at all. and thats where i think freja saves the campaign. she's a safe and smart choice.

 

[MON]

Beautiful. But I hope there`s more to this.
