Michael & Michael Kors F/W 2015.16: Natasha P, Karmen P,Benjamin E by Mario Testino

[Avogadro]

Bronzed beauties in proximity to a luxury vehicle — land, air or sea — as seen through*Mario Testino’s lens: Michael Kors has distinct preferences when it comes to his campaigns. For fall, he tweaked the format subtly, shooting campaigns (both by Testino) for Michael Kors and Michael Michael Kors. The former features a new face for the brand, Natasha Poly, in the buttery leather back seat of a vintage Rolls Royce. The latter spotlights Karmen Pedaru and Benjamin Eidem as a globe-trotting couple, who appear to be deplaning an aircraft (whether it’s private or commercial is difficult to tell) directly into their convertible. The global campaign drops in July with ads running in fall issues of several international editions of Vogue, W, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar and Tatler, in the U.S. and Europe. The campaign, which also includes traditional outdoor media placement, will reach 39 countries as well as digital outlets and social media platforms.

Lol wait, so you've got Karmen...who's been a Michael Kors girl for what? 10 seasons fronting everything!

Now you're gonna downgrade her to Fugly by Fugly Kors and let Natasha get mainline?

SERIOUSLY?!?!

Might as well just have gotten rid of Karmen entirely instead of reducing her to that "other" label.

Natasha's shots are ok though.

Natasha looks okay. It's nothing special but at least we see someone new in the mix. The rest looks same old

 

[VersaceVixen009]

Natasha looks stunning and I'm happy to see a somewhat change within the Kors brand.

The photoshop in the mainline campaign is laughable. Natasha looks like a CGI character rather than a human being.

That was shady to "downgrade" Karmen (and Benjamin) to the lesser label. Couldn't they have just put all three in the main campaign?

 

[TeeVanity]

I don't love the images but it's nice that Natasha is included hope better images will appear from the campaign.

 

[Nomar]

His campaigns are the same every season and just as boring as well I might add.

Neither do I. Everything looks so plastic in those shots. What bothers me most is that her skin/hair/car seat seems to have a similar tone. Ick!

FFS, one giant campaign that will never end. And his collections have evolved so nicely. Ughhhhh.

 

[zacatecas570]

I feel like it is the same campaign over and over again. Amazing news for Natasha tho!!

 

[congacon]

natasha looks confused and clueless. she looks like a newbie who doesn't know what to do. i expect much more from a veteran like her. she is so disconnected from the clothes and acccessories that is advertising for. the campaign totally misses that sensual touch that it has intended.

 

[VogueGirl8910]

Awful campaign, looks the same every season.

 

[RedSmokeRise]

Yet another series where they blur out Benjamin, poor guy.

 

[Pradable]

effortlessly beautiful

 

[kuli_trendy]

It feels Gucci when i see the Natasha shot. Dunno why...

 

[thatsfierce]

Yay for Natasha, but not a fan of the results. This is too photoshoped.

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

Love Natasha, but MK campaigns are always dull. I'd be mad if i was Karmen, although this is might be her final contracted campaign for MK, so they just reduced her role to MMK.

Why Benjamin bothered to show up, i don't know. They could have casted a dummy and i wouldn't know the difference.

 

[khyrk]

I hate her hair. This could have been better especially after her amazing La Perla shots. Looks like this was shot after the show.

 

[Fotoholic24]

Natasha, beautiful, makes the clothes and bags look so good. I just want to sit by her side... Amazing!

Poly makes Michael kors look ultra luxe and sleek!
