I'm in love with this. The mood is fantastic and all the models look gorgeous.

I love the embellishment overload in the first one, so gorgeous.

i have people at Vuitton telling me that stores all over Europe refuse to stock too many F/W winter pieces cause everyone's afraid to sit on dead stock

Really? Why?

Great campaign! I love it!

 

[Fiercification]

The campaign is sort of growing on me, although I can't help but feel like a Roberta, Jasmine or Lina would have jazzed up the cast. The tight grouping in the single shot works for me; creates the feeling of hustle and bustle on long-haul European train journeys. Hope to see Franzi up front and center in one of the shots though!

Really? Why?

cause of the reason i stated?

 

[mikel]

It's a great concept and the individual shots are superbly executed, but as a set all the shots look and feel quite repetitive.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

cause of the reason i stated?

No need to be rude. And fyi I didn't quite understand what you meant by "dead stock". A simple explanation would have been more appropriate than a sarcastic response. Don't bother explaining, just think about how you come off next time.

 

[Street_a_Licious]

lol it's not rude unless you take it for 'rude'.

dead stock just means that it's unmovable inventory. stuff that doesn't sell. if they got a certain inventory and are unable to move a certain amount, it ends up looking bad in the next quarter report and no one really wants that.

besides, you didn't ask me 'what' dead stock is. you asked me 'why'. and i clearly stated why.

 

[Ortemis]

The first shot is bad. The rest of the photos are horrible. This is like the worst ads from a top brand i've seen in my life. LAWD.
I blame it on the models making it looked so cheap and dead. I love the setting!

 

[Pradable]

BTW HIDEOUS campaign I thouhgt it was going to be better, nut not. Wakala!

 

[MyNameIs]

I'm kind of loving these. They go against EVERYTHING I believe in, lol. But I can't help it. I'm simply drawn to them. What I get from these, is such sadness and melancholy from this sea of anonymous faces (quite literally for me too), and given the clothes and styling and the economy, it's as if they're longing for a better yesterday. At the same time too, with so many of them cramped in such a small space, it's very claustrophobic and overpowering, like I need fresh air just from looking at the images.

I do agree that the images are repetitive, but at the same time, it almost works in its favor because it becomes even more haunting and persistent in its message.

Lol, I don't know if/think any of what I just wrote was intended by any of these images, but it's one of the rare collection of images that I am able to connect with on a deeper level than just 'this is pretty', etc.

Marina Heiden is coming to my city! Hopefully I can book her for editorial.
