Valentino ads are in a league of their own! Im in love with the atmosphere and the whole mirror illusion!

Bravo Valentino!

Sorry, I guess this is actually Pre-Fall based on what they're wearing and now I see that it just says "Fall" indeed. It didn't even cross my mind, seems a bit late to roll out a Pre-Fall campaign but then again very early for F/W.

So unique, well done Valentino. I am loving this.

This is a stunningly beautiful campaign, Michal Pudelka is an incredibly talented photographer who I'd love to see more of in editorial etc.
My only remark is that I'm kinda cringing at the cornrows considering the cast and the overall history of Valentino ads rarely featuring models of colour. I mean other than Malaika and Fei Fei I can't really think of anyone else in recent years. I would love to see the casting be more inclusive. Oh well..

 

[Wolkfolk]

This is really good. The colors and composition are fantastic. I doubt many ads will be as strking. Well done !

Very nice. Valentino has been serving it lately.

 

[jescajade]

Absolutely love this, beautiful, effortless and casting is great.

 

[gazebo]

Oh wow! This is fabulous!

 

[gossiping]

one of the few brands still doing something INTERESTING AND DIFFERENT

others should taken note..ahem...

 

[Street_a_Licious]

that's actually very nicely creative!

I love Pudelka, the setting and the pictures but I also have a problem with the cast. I am so tired of seeing Maartje and Ine.

I am glad they called Michal Pudelka once more, he had made an amazing job with the previous campaign !! To be honest I am not really a fan of the mirror concept, but the image looks polished and clean (plus the girls and the collection are beautiful !).

The concept is fine. The casting is whatever, but having an all-white cast in cornrows is absolute bullsh*t.

It's clear that the reason behind the hairstyle here is to appear "edgy" and "cool" because they're on white girls. But god forbid they use a black model. I guess they didn't feel the need to cast any because this collection didn't reference Africa or anywhere ~exotic~.

creative <3

Wow, this again is exceptionally impressive! Hope they keep Pudelka for a few seasons. I dont understand how people can already be tired of Ine and Maartjie when they're just picking up steam. All the girls are looking great, even Grace who I'm usually not fond of.

This is such a clever ad I'm glad that the Valentino is utilizing/embracing fresh new talent and not using the 'big' photographers that have seemingly become the norm in fashion. It definitely sets their ads apart from others and this one looks fantastic.

 

[Lausanne]

This is so exciting to see the stairs I used to walk almost everyday few years ago at work to now star in the Valentino campaign
Michal is such a talent. Can't wait to see fall/winter campaign.
