Chanel S/S 2012 : Saskia de Brauw & Joan Smalls by Karl Lagerfeld

[TeeVanity]

Actually like it, was a bit nervous how it would turn out, but very nice, not feeling the footwear though.

 

[Riseup]

ummm...you'd be stiff too if you had to hold your body up for the shot on a balance bar.

Please, they could at least try balancing with some sort of grace or a cool pose, it's a fashion campaign, not the olympics...

I like the styling and Karl did a surprisingly good job with the lighting this time but I find the posing super awkward. Saskia looks like the girl that people laugh at in P.E. class because she's just awkwardly dangling there not knowing what to do. Even in the shot with Joan her body doesn't look tense while Joan looks very strong and lofty. I hope the rest of the shots will be better because it has a lot of potential to still be a good campaign.

Seems like Karl is returning to his roots. Vintage Chanel- in love.

I really like the bars shot, the light, the soft make up, the hair isn't distracting, it does show the clothes nicely overall

 

[Modelo]

I was so nervous for Chanel but I think this has potential. The shoes are hideous to no end but Joan is working for sure. Hoping for a repeat season for her!

knowing that Karl shots this,it looks pretty cool and promising, thou I'm gonna miss Freja but it's a nice change of casts. Well let's hoping once again that Baptiste won't made any appearances

 

[organizedrobot]

it's better than i expected, but it's not like i love it though.

 

[lightblue]

never thought i'd like this but i'm actually feeling this. i even like saskia.

 

[abadonna]

Saskia is supercool here!

Its been a long long time for sure. It was said that Kimora Lee did a campaign for Chanel couture when she's 13, so it was probably S/S 1988 or 1989.

So rare to see a black girl in RTW and couture ads, I dont know about cruise and pre-fall ones tho. Chanel used to have couture ad, but now they cut it.

What about Brandi Quinones?

 

[mikel]

Love it! Love the 20's/30's mood. Karl did a good job!

 

[Aedlacir]

It's very 80's but I don't get the whole jungle gym theme.

 

[cul8tr]

WOW!!!! Fantastic. both girl looks amazing. and what is more important they both work with each other so well. There is not question who do I like more. I love them both. Soooooo much better than last season. Can wait for more.

 

[Zephons]

What about Brandi Quinones?

sorry, I forgot about her... |o|

I found pics of
Brandi: S/S 1994
Kimora: F/W 1989

 

[Kanna]

The same, boring and conservative images made by Karl... Whoever the models are. *yawn*

 

[Deleted member 1957]

[ForChicSake]

this is very boring, hope it gets better

 

[Maudelle]

It looks like its from the 30s I like it.

Terrible casting and missing the magic of past Chanel campaigns. Last years Spring Summer campaign was absolutely magnificent! What happened here? Terrible disappointment!
