[Mr Yayo]

Is she another nepo model?

Is she another nepo model?

Nope. She is working since 2013. Scouted by an agent from Pulse Management at a country concert in Minnesota, Liz’s digitals were subsequently sent to agency boss Stacey Eastman who signed her in the wink of an eye.

Styled by Carine Roitfeld. It’s very interesting campaign. Liz is captivating. I like her very much.

Liz kinda looks like Bella Hadid in these shots.

 

[GivenchyAddict]

Carine really managed to elevate the whole imagery for the brand. Kudos to her.

 

[Avonlea]

It's not bad but the references couldn't be more obvious, Carine is so lazy these days.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

Its a decent campaign though giving more of an editorial than campaign vibe.

 

[Wolkfolk]

You can tell Carine did her thing. There is just something about the allure and the styling which catches you. Though not every shot works, this is a good campaign. Very obvious references and Tom Ford-wannabe-energy but it works. It feels very New York, it feels very now: at least the now of Laquan and it makes the clothes look desirable.

 

[VogueDisciple93]

Looks like decent digital editorial but weak campaign.

 

[WAVES]

Styled by Carine Roitfeld. It’s very interesting campaign. Liz is captivating. I like her very much.

first thing that crossed my mind was ‘this looks so much like Carine’…

works perfectly as an editorial not really as an ad campaign.
I miss this type of styling ngl

No way she's nepo!!! Glad to see Liz! I remember seeing her in several eds from the late 2010s and quite vanished during the pandemic. Of course due the mediatic girls took the spotlight. It happened to so many models.

Carine really managed to elevate the whole imagery for the brand. Kudos to her.

Yes! She did her thing. Campaigns in interiors can really elevate the whole vibe.

Somehow I feel like his clothes looks cheap still.
The rooftop shots are very Newton and the girl laying in pantsuits on the carpeted floor is so Carine for Tom.

Maybe Laquan will finally get there with efforts!

 

[Scotty]

The clothes are so tacky.

 

[THD96]

It's good, that Carine delivered what she was asked for, TF on a budget. Good for her, she deserves that paycheck.

But still, there is no way the targeted clients will be this glamorous or sophisticated in these clothes in real life. Good luck with that.

But please someone from Europe, Virginie or Peter call Carine, don't let her out here surviving on LS paycheck.

Carine has Givenchy. Tom Ford beauty hasn’t released a campaign yet since Peter Hawkings took over so I don’t know if she is still involved.
And she is doing Vogue World.

It’s more a favor for LS. But it’s good, it keeps her up with younger talents.

Anyway, the woman is not struggling.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

The clothes just don't look good. The close-up shot in the fur looks nice, but editorial nice not campaign nice.

Interiors are seductive as hell though. I don't get why Carine styled looks to colour match them. Makes none of these looks visually pop, which is the opposite of what you want for a campaign.
