@Lola701 Be nice! It's not fair to hold Meisel's charity work against him.

The worst with Meisel and Anna Sui was that there were seasons where he was delivering fabulous campaigns for Lanvin, Vuitton, Balenciaga and Prada. And in the same season, he did complete trash for Anna Sui.

It's not the best campaign I've never seen, but by current standards, nor is it the worst - it just exists as something with generic appeal, and will never satisfy someone needing to see fashion as we knew it.

The average person is going to see products clearly displayed, against pretty spring colours, on people, some of whom even look happy.

Given the shift in people gravitating towards handbags etc in the past few years, how much does the average Fendi buyer of 2025 care about Meisel and what that should mean?

And given the torrent of low-effort sh*t that passes for fashion imagery these days, I can't bring myself to kick a campaign that probably counts as one of the less-offensive things I'm likely to see on the pages of Jan-Feb-March issues.
