Cara? Really?

At least it's in color...

 

[Hchloe]

Of course.

Cara in a campaign is becoming like florals for spring. Hell, that girl is everywhere!

I'm loving it to be quite honest. There's something appealing about these images.

^Really?

It seems like Hedi wants to tease us with his despicable casts.
What a tragedy this brand has become.

I like the melancholy vibe of it. And all the textures, from the model´s hair to the drapes...
However imo it looks way too "angsty teen" for a HF label like Saint Laurent.

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

Beautiful.

I'm almost sure I would love this campaign if there were different models in it. I generally don't like Cara but think she often fits the brands she models for, but she's completely miscast here. She looks silly. And that guy is even worse :/ It's all so extremely try-hard and awkward. I really liked the collection and think the setting and the styling here is great, this could have been really good with a better cast.

Other than the casting and the clothes the images look quite good. I love the use of color...

I don't mind the Cara takeover, but I agree those that say that she looks super miscast. I don't so much mind the concept he's using for the campaign (I hated the show, I didn't exactly have high expectations), yet she really looks like a moody child in this, like if Forever21 came out with a "punk" line.

...at least some of the shots are in color, I guess.

Can you imagine how beautiful this would be with a good model and decent clothes?

I know. I don't mind Cara at all (as long as she is not carrying powdered sugar in her purse), but the creative direction of this brand has gone to hell!!!

Photos from Hedi with colour!!!!! Praise the Lord!

Like the concept, seems like she's looking at the future, with the big window open for her to takeover the sky, and with the window open comes a new breath of fresh hair (that are Hedi's creations for the house), that's how I feel about it! LOVE IT!

Don't mind that Cara's in it...

This is really great. Everything is right and comes together. I'm not a fan of Cara at all but I think she and Cole were great choices, they wear the clothes really well. The styling is great too, they picked the right pieces from the collection and they actually look really desirable. The winning point here is the fantastic set. The ocean landscape in contrast with the old house creates an awesome mood. Love how he used the sunlight in some of the photos too.

I think Hedi's vision for the house is getting better and better, hope that next collections will follow the same path so can put an end on the hate bandwagon.

Sea side for a fall campaign? And how nice to see that the Saint Laurent client is now a teenage rock groupie...

Oh and that blurred/shaken effect he put on some of these... Come on...

ETA: And that guy has nail polish on... EDGY! I just want to punch this campaign in the head

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

Totally loving this. My favorite shot has to be Cara laying against the couch in that flawless pink, fur chubby.
I think the ocean backgound and the melancholic direction goes fantastically well with the clothes. It just works, and I'm glad he chose to go with color this season.
I LOVE that Cole Smith is in this! LOVE his music. Just seeing the slideshow on the website with the beautiful ocean scenery in the campaign and DIIV playing in the background...bliss.

It's like we get new sets of saint laurent and hedi's vapid photographs every week, but ugh it's the Pacific... how can you not ....
