Louis Vuitton S/S 2011 : Raquel, Freja, and Kristen by Steven Meisel

[Psylocke]

kristen.

Oh yes...

After seeing the whole campaign I actually love it! I didn't like the first shot that was posted at all, but as a whole this looks great. I'm so in love with the cast and the random posing and messy background. Freja looks a bit weird in the shots were she's tilting her head back, it's not flattering with her nose. But I think I like the models' odd facial expressions in this, like they were secretly caught lounging around humping chairs and tables all while wearing ridiculous make up and tacky dresses. It works for me

Well this campaign clearly shows that these girls can't compete with Kristen. She knocks them down in every single shot. At this point it's not even outshining anymore.
Seeing the campaign as a whole, makes me appreciate it even more. Even though, Feja and Raquel look ratherd.

 

[congacon]

i have to agree that kristen totally outshines both freja and raquel. freja and raquel just look awkward and uncomfortable, in other words they just dont fit it. i would have chosen coco and sasha or even karen(the real red head) instead of raquel and freja for this campaign

 

[carmen_kass]

This is so difficult to look at.
Garish!

 

[BibiRose]

There are so many things wrong in this campaign for me- the colors, the hair, the makeup, and the poses...

 

[purplethistle]

Did not expect to see Raquel to be outdone by another person in every shot of a campaign. But what do you know Kristen has done just that.

 

[Spike413]

Love it. I wasn't so sure about it when the first shot was posted but seeing the entire thing has changed my mind. It's fabulously gaudy and glamorous.

 

[PHILOSOPHY]

How can Raquels face be off in every photo?...
I love Freja and Kristen in this, should of just been those two imo.

 

[get fashion]

Love it, with that cast nothing can be wrong!

 

[Street_a_Licious]

god, i hate Raquel's toothy smile. it's..... weird.

i don't like this campaign, which is a shame since i liked the collection a lot.

they should really consider rehiring Mert & Marcus. their work for Vuitton sh!ts all over the last few campaigns by Meisel.

 

[Breathless]

Raquel & Freja could easily be cropped out of this campaign.

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

^Completely agree. Raquel was a bad choice for the ad.
The campaign itself looks worse with each shot. Kirsten could have done a better job alone. Hated how Meisel tried to squeeze three "big" girls into a small space.

 

[MyNameIs]

This is hands down the worst campaign of the season and one of the worst EVER. Absolutely nasty. Even the Etros and Ralph Laurens out there that shoot their campaigns backstage have better ads than this.

 

[ad041715]

Oh no! This is an absolute mess.

 

[Bengt]

I think they're instructed to pose like that…

"...with the models striking louche poses in color‐ blocked lurex, silk cheongsams and lush iris prints." - from the press release

But Raquel's expression is quite distracting. She looks sleepy/about to sneeze...

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

i love the outlandishness of
it...maybe they were suppose to look like
concubines. Kristen and Freja manage to look perfect while
Raquel's shot are evident that Meisel hasnt worked with her for some time

 

[deboradematos]

To me, this is a total mess. I hate the concept, the background is too distracting and i cant even notice the clothes, that weren't so good in the first place. The cast is good, I'm really glad that Raquel got it, but this ad really isn't doing anything for me. Weak campaign for a weak collection.

 

[Mchunu]

Hm..I admit that Raquel does annoy me in every image besides the first, but the campaign is so unsafe I can't help but love it-it's gorgeous.

 

[LeBonChic]

Omg Steven this is one real bad joke. Can you release the actual ad now ?

 

[lady stardust]

lol..i like it!
very decadent and very chic..
the colors is magnificent and the models looks great.
