^^^ Boss away if such fashion supremacy as the Sorrenti one was the result. Concepts are dime-a-dozen, frankly (…and even then, these lessers nowadays can’t even come up with a decent one. This Ferragamo one is very… 1st-year/1st-semester "Intro to Photoshop" class assignment...).
It’s the execution that defines the creative talent and experienced, technical skills of fashion vision that will be remembered. That Mario’s (and even if Berge had contributed on-set as a bossy CD/AD, it will still be Mario’s photography that defines the excellence of the campaign imagery) is still being held as the standard nearly 25 years later is a deserving testament to genuine talents involved. Again, the likes of Tyler/Rafael/Elizaveta and their roster of student post-production team— and as seemingly passionate and excited as they are for fashion, almost always come off as a bunch of fashion students’ weekly class assignments ripping off the Greats. No one will be studying any of their messy imagery 5 years from now, let alone 25-- when hopefully people will finally come to there senses and employ creatives for their talent and experience, rather than for affirmative action. “Graphic design is my passion” comes to mind for these types.
