Marc Jacobs F/W 11.12 : Helena Bonham Carter by Juergen Teller

[mikeijames]

As much as how I adore Ms. Bonham Carter, this is just weird for the sake of being weird.

For me, the only remotely appealing thing about this ad is Helena. I agree with kiddokiddo; it's weird for the sake of being weird.

count me in with your number: this campaign remains weird for the sake of being weird, but one must consider that from the jump, marc has played those games with this collection from the styling to the runway presentation. he took otherwise quite conservative pieces -- prertty polka dots, prim pencil skirts, and lacy extras -- and created them into an edgy fashion sensation.

I'm loving the originality

I love Helena and her role in Harry Potter but this campaign just doesn`t give the Marc Jacobs collection and herself any justice AT ALL. It`s just like those quirky left over shots from an editorial. Marc needs to change directions

oh i wish i was on set it looks like a lot of fun

Twisted much. Too twisted for me, actually, not a fan after all.

Well seeing all this just confirms how much I dislike this. Sorry but Helena looks like someone's old grandma, after too many vodka's, messing around after falling into a closet full of Jacobs clothes.
I have a sense of humour, but this just isn't funny and what I would describe as 'trying too hard'........and failing miserably.

^ EwwMG! That's disgusting. That should be rated R for disturbing images. At least we don't get a shot of his taint.

Completely wicked but it works on me.

........and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse......and it just did.
This has to be one of the worst advertising tools in the history of fashion campaigns. Seriously awful.

Both pictures with the balloons are not really my cup of tea.

That's just disturbing. Why would you put a creepy old naked guy in a ad?

 

[mackos]

^Because you´re Marc Jacobs and you think you can get away with anything, I guess?

Anyway, it doesn´t really work for me either, the ballooned bag shot is the only one I like in the entire set. In both sets, actually.

The old man is really disturbing. Just comes across so seedy, worse than the feeling of seeing Terry Richardson posing with a model
