Gucci F/W 08.09 : Lily, Kasia, Ksenia, Abbey Lee, Eniko by Inez & Vinoodh

I think that may be Kasia and Ksenia in the red and blue? In the background.

Yes and I even sure that Ksenia in blue

 

[AnaBGD]

^^ yeah, and besides, it really was expected for Lily to be the main girl...

This campaign is so beautiful!

I really do hope that Kasia and Ksenia do get closeup shots though. They probably do, just yet to be seen. Otherwise it's just a waste of talent!

I'm sadly still mourning over the loss of Masha!

 

[Bahiyya]

I wanted to see Kasia . She's been growing on me after looking at a bunch of old runway photos recently. Abby Lee makes this campaign for me -- she looks better in that one clear shot of her than 95% of the Lily close-ups. Masha would have been great in this ! So sorry for her and her fans.

 

[FashionCapital]

Wow, they pretty much snubbed Kasia and Ksu indirectly. It makes me kind of mad, honestly.

 

[Northern Star]

C'mon guys we haven't seen that many shots of the campaign yet and I can't wait to see Ksenia in it too, but I'm sure both Kasia and her will feature more prominently in upcoming shots.
I'm stil smarting also from Masha not being in thishaving seen the results she is more than perfect for it.

I really like the new ones, thanks for posting Lily looks amazing, as well as the other cast. Love the Background too

 

[ediewarhol]

Eniko looks oh so lovely. I can't wait to see the rest of the ads.

 

[hfgl]

Completely in love with them

 

[FashionPower]

Too much Lily!!!!
Although I don't like Ksenia,Masha and Abbey I wish they got more shots

 

[dior_couture1245]

Damn...they seem to be bewitched......

Yeah! It's interesting...I've always thought Abbey Lee's look was very "Manson family"...and now that you mention bewitching, all these girls and guys TOTALLY look like the Manson family, dancing around, high on LSD, in their California wilderness hideaway!

And I think that's part of the appeal of the ads, for me. I've always found Charles Manson and his 'family' incredibly fascinating and and in a way tragically beautiful...and that sunny California look that I love...the long, wild, wavy blonde hair, the sunkissed faces of the girls who lived in some shack in the California desert with a criminal psychopath!

Makes me love these ads even more!

 

[Melly5525]

Sooo in love with these ads, definitely my fav of the season, love the shot with the evening dresses, so beautiful

 

[laughingdisorder]

Abbey Lee looks great, i'm not keen on eniko though.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

Lily's blank expression in every shot
and the bohemian feel of the whole campaign
go 2gether..mayb thats why Abbey was chosen as well..
mayb Kasia and Ksenia showed too much life and they didnt
want that, perhaps paralyzed was the look for it..i dunno
i jus think that if Natasha was in this it would hav looked better

 

[brazilianbaby]

Beautiful ads! I love the background colors.

OMG I started laughing when i saw ur post because i can definitely agree, The Manson clan are very interesting and i think this ad personifies it. I can definitely see all the girls in dresses from the collection walking down the courthouse floor singing songs, this ad is reminiscent of The Manson Clan imo, Masha N. would have been icing on the cake given how this campaign looks but im satistfied

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^Masha would have fit that look so perfectly, more so than Lily. I think Eniko also has that 'look,' too.

If anyone is interested, if you watch this video starting at about 1:07 through 1:40, you can definitely see the huge similarity between the Manson family and these ads. (A bit of a warning...this whole video has some disturbing imagery and dialog.)

[satin chic]

I never thought of this, but you are so right. Watching the video, the resemblance is really obvious.

I really think Abbey fits the collection perfectly and the campaign would have been even better with her as the main girl instead of Lily. Add Masha and dismiss Lily and this could have been perfect.

Exactly. Lily just doesn't work in this campaign, I just don't see her as the face for Gucci. The others in the campaign have nailed the vibe of the collection whilst Lily looks..well..possessed.

Unless, they were going for the Manson vibe in which case Lily pretty much is spot on. So, as you were, Lily..

Booooooooooooring!

Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiile!
