Truth be told, I like the image posted on #16 a lot more than this seasons camppaign.
Zebra print really needs to be handled carefully and with finesse. The Meisel pic is kind of crude, and I cannot help but thinking the pic would have improved so much without that hideous print overshadowing everything else in the image.
When I first saw Isabeli, I thought she was doing drugs in the pic... (you know the party/club scene depicted here, the whole Euro-trashness etc.) I still think there may be some subtle meaning behind her gesture. I am not a fan. Meisel is a good direction, but I would have preferred to see a pic that shows -or shows off- clothes for an ad campaign, rather than some random 'screencap'.
Then again, lately Cavalli ad campaigns have mostly been quite terrible, even though they hire some of the best girls in the biz.
