Jil Sander S/S 2008 : Kasia Struss and Clément Chabernaud by Willy Vanderperre

[MulletProof]

I actually like the skull

that makes two of us .
I lovelovelove it.. it's all about shape for me.. and I think it's beautiful how both the dress and skull are colliding against each other and playing a perfect summer balance of heat connotations, airiness and the freshness in Kasia's expression and styling. they're really proving less is more with this campaign .. a lesson to be learned by the celebrity-hiring, monogram-saturated houses.

Jil Sander had such a strong collection for s/s 2008, but the ads turn out to be very plain, and to me, Kasia is NOT a right choice, she's super boring, her face is just impossible to look attractive.

beautiful beautiful ads, but why oh why did they choose this ugly white tulle dress - looks like the fabric was just thrown on her - yuck!!! this collection had SO much better outfits/dresses!!!!!

^^I agree...not the best outfit to choose...and it's not that flattering on Kasia.

 

[gius]

oh interesting..
i wonder what the skull is for

 

[Starry]

Finally, the scans! Thanks!
I'm also confused about the skull...

 

[Ed..]

I think the hand holding the skull is Clement Chabernaud's

 

[bedtimestorynyc]

^ whom i absolutely adore, and can't wait to see in the ads!!!!!

 

[gr77]

Not a fan of these ads, mainly because Kasia's face is very boring and her hair looks too greasy

 

[hfgl]

Hmm,maybe it's to be the opposite of Kasia,who looks young and fresh and very much alive,contrasting the skull representing death?I'm totally just guesing here

 

[mikel]

^That's a good interpertation.

 

[oomarhatelier]

I love the fact that the dress worn by Kasia has the same shape and symmetry as the skull. The skull appears as a dress in this case, what a beautiful creation.

The Jil Sander website was updated with pictures from the campaign. There's only one new shot of Kasia, but these are the first from the menswear campaign, I believe .
