an update on the cavalli campaigns from wwd:
CAVALLI'S NEW QUARTET: Roberto Cavalli has switched things up for fall. For his company's upcoming ad campaign, Frankie Rayder, Angela Lindvall, Isabeli Fontana and Raquel Zimmermann were photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin in Los Angeles, with the inspiration for the shoot coming from the film "Il Gattopardo," starring Claudia Cardinale and Burt Lancaster. "I've always been esthetically fascinated by this film," said Cavalli. "I also find 'Il Gattopardo,' a story is based on the idea that 'the more it changes, the more it stays the same,' a good metaphor for fashion. In the campaign, the heroine — a sort of new Angelica — Cardinale in the movie — dances in the wilderness while a fire rages in the background. She represents the force of everything that is new, yet in the end she's dressed like a romantic debutante. I find this idea, the contrast of old and new, to be very modern and thought provoking." Rayder, Lindvall, Fontana and Zimmermann replace Kate Moss, who has done the Cavalli campaign for the last few seasons. But the designer hasn't dropped Moss — she is appearing in the Just Cavalli ads.
Much as I like Angelina Jolie I didn't think her ads for them had much impact.
^^ Apparently they are fond of CARMENS ...lol
