[kawing_walker]

favorite:
MAXMARA by Senejan and Hye Park
GUCCI by Lily, Abbey..

least favorite:
YSL by Naomi
Her poses look very tacky and and perhaps she was performing tasteless table dancing?..
and her hairs annoy me so much that i wonder if they were making a commercial for LUX SUPER RICH..

 

[ash92]

Hate:
Oh god. YSL! Hated it. Need I say more.
Prada just got botoxed!
Basically anything with overrated supers.

Love:
D&G(I just it)
Max Mara, just because of Snejana.
Gucci, I know ppl hated it, but I love the ambience of it. The poses were out of this world/awkwrd, which i like. And then, there's Eniko! Not loving Abbey so much though.
LIYA + RAQUEL = PERFECTION @ Lanvin
Fendi, just because it's Raquel.

I seriously have no idea why mine is similar to yours.

 

[annabel_lee1]

i love Linda but i HATED the Prada campaign. Ugh!

 

[helmut.newton]

Fall 2008 lacked genius campaigns, for me anyway.

My favorite was Gucci; for its whimsical and ethereal attitude. The location was great, the casting was great, the photographers were great. All in all - it was the best of Fall 2008.

The worst campaigns were Prada, Chloe (Only 3 images?!), Marc Jacobs (disappointing considering the genius of his previous campaigns), YSL (Naomi on a pedastool? Seriously?) and Lanvin (that awful green tinge and the blurriness were just not working for me. And in a PARK? Why?).

 

[cul8tr]

My top 5 of the best add is:

Hermes - MCB

Lanvin - Raquel and Liya

McQueen - Alice (only 3 pics by still great)

Prada resort - Ymre (I don't know if this is fall or spring but I like it)

Ferretti - Anna, Magda, Siri and Victoriya



I also like:
Chloe with Anja and Angela (there was only 3 pics so it was kind of dissapointing),
Belstaff (with Maryna, Isabeli and Lara),
YSL (with Naomi and beauty with Coco),
Givenchy(MCB, Lara, Natasha, Lakshmi).

I hate:
Prada with Linda (the most horible add for fall season) - Sasha could do it million times better!!!

all pics are from tFS

 

[Kanna]

Oh, I really love this kind of thread

Love:
Valentino - Love Peter Lindbergh. Love the cinematic vibe and Angela's expression.
Giorgio Armani - fantastic colors
Donna Karan - I'm not a 'huge' fan of Kate Moss but she looks stunning there. I actually love almost all the ads she has ever shot and I think they explain why she is still big in that way. I mean, there hasn't been any bad result starring her. She IS versatile. Somehow it's strange that I'm not a fan of her.
Juicy Couture - Tim Walker can do no wrong. It's the most fairy-tale ad I've ever seen.
Chanel - Classic
Oscar de la Renta - I always love to see the sky background in any pics and both Anja and Magdalena look gorgeous there.
Vera Wang
Miu Miu - very M&M
David Yurman - I've always been a huge fan of this brand's campaign and collected all of the ads. This is not an exception.
Donna Karan Resort - Not only because I love Karen Elson, but she looks bloody gorgeous there and I just love the clothes.
Jacob & Co. - Natalia looks so cute and elegant there.

among beauty ads..
Miss Dior Cherie - Tim Walker, again
Chanel Beauty - Natalia's face is just amazing.


Hate:
Dior - I do love Craig McDean but not as for Dior!
Roverto Cavalli - It was recycling of concept from Vogue Nippon ed featuring Lily D. which I really didn't like. The models' hair and dresses were beautiful but the campaign was just awful. I don't understand why most of the campaigns are now under I&V's hand but it was the most awful thing, I'd say. Take back M&M!
Blumarine
Nina Ricci - I found she isn't that photogenic in both Blumarine and Nina Ricci campaigns. (sorry Natasha..)
Versace - Isabeli was just OK, but Natalia was completely out of place. She even looked ridiculous there. What a miscasting..
Celine
Lanvin - The pics themselves are beautiful but they are so dark that I can hardly see the clothes.
Prada - Linda was gorgeous but, from Sasha to Linda? I just couldn't adjust myself to it..

[thiago:)]

Loved:
Lanvin - The models and styling were great, and the special effects were awesome
Gianfranco Ferre - Malgosia and Julia by Meisel
Giorgio Armani - I loved the lighting and photography
Phi - I loved the concept and Coco and Karen were amazing
Stella McCartney - Kate and Frankie were rocking it, perfect

So-so:
Dior - Daria is amazing, but the background and styling were bad
Chanel - Just a few great shots
Versace - I was expecting more
Calvin Klein Collection - The idea was great but Suvi
Fendi - Interesting but boring

Hated:
Prada - Linda's expression
Burberry - Rosie was completely wrong for it
Balenciaga - Balenciaga can't do ad with celebrities, please bring back models! And Charlotte's face was so bleh
Roberto Cavalli - Awful background, weird poses...
Miu Miu - Even though Vanessa is gorgeous it didn't work

 

[irulan]

Good Ones
- Gucci: I Loved it...there was such a strong athmosphere in them, the weird hippie-manson-family dance moves, the location, the make-up. Awesome campaign. Man, Kasia and Ksenia rocked it...gnhihihi
- Alberta Ferretti: Intense. We all rode the subway in the middle of the night with a Starbucks in our hand, a bit drunk, very happy and melancholic. We know how it feels.
- D&G: Bold. Weird. Scottish. Just cool.

Bad Ones
- Prada: a hundred and thousand covers and eds all did it better than stone-faced Linda and lame blue background. All we need now is a time machine and Sasha to make it work.
- Chanel: Why, oh why is Karl Lagerfeld determined to make us believe the Chanel woman doesn't like furniture? Or did she have to sell it to buy one left Chanel shoe? Is that what you're trying to say - choose Chanel or choose a bedframe?
- Balenciaga: No. Charlotte Gainsbourg is not pretty. And she is not a good model. And she didn't pull this clothes off at all.

[rip_ian curtis]

Best:

Calvin Klein Collection with Suvi -strong and graphic, clothes looked great and Suvi was perfect choice!

Ferretti -love the mood of it! classic meisel.

Worst:

Dior -tacky, amateurish and uninspired. the collection was BAD and neither the ads nor Daria made it better or desirable.

Jil Sander -wrong models, wrong location, wrong concept. shame they repeat natasha for spring.
