I suppose Naomi's pose is the most interesting. That's all I've got.

Boring shots but the cast makes it good!

Photographed by Lacombe, no wonder it's such a snoozefest!

Chanel should stick to Karim Sadli with Carlyne at the styling. She did wonders for their previous watch ads.

Bravo to Naomi as this is her first ever Chanel campaign. She is not very Chanel...I would have preferred to see Brandi or Nadège maybe but Naomi is iconic so it’s fine.

La Première is a better watch IMO.

Looks like a funeral card photoshoot.

Agreed, she's really not Chanel at all, but this is just a watch campaign so I suppose it's fine.

Excellent cast (even if both Naomi Campbell and Ali McGraw seem out of left field), very keen to see Carole Bouquet and Anna Mouglais. The cast certainly does encapsulate Karl Lagerfeld's Chanel, and I cannot help but to feel this is a very subtle and beautiful tribute. Claudia looks terrific, easily my favorite out the bunch!

It's just an absolute shame that they hired the overrated photographer that is Brigitte Lacombe (major UGH) for this. Perhaps the images will be elevate somehow, once viewed inside the magazines complete with a sleek art direction and the Chanel logo etc.

Ali was the face of Chanel in the 60’s. It’s a link between Coco, Jacques Helleu & Karl.
Alek Wek would have been perfect for this. She was a favorite of Karl..

I’m happy they didn’t include Pharrell in this.

Who keeps giving Brigitte Lacombe jobs

LIUWEN is gorgeous

 

[AD011620]

pleased for the ladies... they all look lovely but the campaign is overall boring...

 

[Perickles]

I would get rid of the 90's supermodels and the nepo insta models first. I would only have Liu Wen.

 

[Hchloe]

The black and white portrait thing is such a lazy cop-out.

Here's what the finished campaign will look like, complete with Chanel logo:

The finished ad is way, way better! Not much of a departure from previous campaigns though.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

I’m not a lily-rose fan but her shot is gorgeous. The others are boring and very awkward

 

[Fancyfree]

Only 9 ladys' pictures are gloabl campaign.

I'm looking at Naomi's version of the ad on the back of a newspaper supplement, and it looks more like an Instagram shot where she's flaunting a watch she got as a bribe, and the look in her eyes dares you to come at her for taking it.

That said, it's the most exciting page in the Sunday supplement.
