Known for its only-girl campaigns, Piazza Sempione repeats its signature creative concept for the FW09 season. However, a difference is very evident – instead of having a complex background with various props (As Michaela Kocianova’s SS09 and Leah de Wavrin’s FW08 campaigns have been set up), some intriguing lighting and a simple brick facade serve as the only things accompanying model Zuzana Gregorova. The choice of the wall is obvious, though, as the prints on the Piazza Sempione dress match with the architectural patterns quite well. In fact, the entire getup Zuzanna is wearing echoes the form of the shadows right behind her. Aesthetically, the ad is quite fascinating, but one does wonder if the moody ambiance – one quite contrary to the colorful tone of past two season’s ads – does intend to reflect the reserved, ambivalent state of the fashion industry today.
