How incredibly boring... and expected. I wish he would at least let us see the clothes.

 

[mikel]

Saskia looks like a Beatle.

 

[jmrmartinho]

I guess YSL campaigns are all going to looks like this from now on...
And how pretentious to put Saskia on the men colection ad.

 

[anlabe32]

Ouch, this will be a slap in the face for the already scarce men's advertising opportunities.
I like it though, but it's becoming boring...

 

[niknak]

WTF is this?? I'm not sold yet on Hedi Slimane's total control @YSL. I mean, people try to crack on Karl, but I still seem to appreciate his work. (Although yes, he is predictable too; and the man is a l
Legend.) Hedi forgot about the clothes it seems, and has only produced his signature B&W portraits. Geez!! Good for Saskia though, I guess. I've been on the fence with her lately.

 

[ALAUU]

Well, she does look like a boy. I bet most people who see this ad wouldn't know that she's a woman.

 

[VogueDisciple93]

As much as I enjoy the casting, the campaign itself falls flat. Very flat. The entire vibe is so dated. And from what I can see of the clothes it just reminds me of Topman (I know he did it first earlier in his career), and that's not a good thing.

 

[Nymphaea]

I agree with Mikel, she looks like one of the beatles. It has a sad vibe, I don't like it.

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

This is too good. Saskia looks like a member from a 60s rock band, like from the Beatles. The styling is so my taste. Strong, cool, and youthful. Couldn't ask for anything more

 

[xPedro]

I'm just mad at this, Saskia is an incredible model, she has a flawless editorial work and here comes Hedi with his boredom and lack of creativity and makes her look like a 60s druggy.

 

[miguelalmeida]

It's very flat...like my comment...

 

[ad041715]

Eh... I'm not really digging this but then again what was I expecting? Typical Slimane photography.

On the other hand I really like the decision to cast a female to model menswear.

 

[JuiceMajor]

I like the choice. He kinda following Karl's model of choice!

 

[elle_gb]

I like it but now I want to see Saint Laurent in color.

 

[disco54]

Where is the YSL man in all this? All I see is a girl trying to be a 14 or 15 year old boy , there is something very creepy in all this and not in a good way, the brand seems to be catering to teenage rockers in their early mid teens lol. Hedi it is not Dior Homme circa 2004.

 

[Street_a_Licious]

oh, Hedi would! he TOTALLY would and then actually did. ugh

 

[eugenius]

Well, it is better than those "preview" ads w/ Kati N. that came out a few months ago. Those did absolutely nothing to excite me about what was to come.

That being said, this just looks like he's trying to recreate the Inez/Vinoodh shots from his DH days..just w/ a female model. Aesthetically pleasing? Yes. Fresh? Groundbreaking? Original? Not even close.

 

[Royal-Galliano]

there we go again! but yes, this is much better than the preview ads.
