Besides, the models look like dogs in a shelter - absolutely miserable and slightly afraid of the camera.

Did they not consult PR beforehand? Or did they just not care? Surely they could have scrapped the ad given what's been happening in the past couple weeks.

For what it's worth, they stopped crediting Terry on their new posts on instagram.

I think that photography is fine, interesting concept for Valentino. especially for their new line. I know people hate Terry because of his attitude and I completely share this vision.
But pictures looks different from the Valentino main campaigns, and there are actually models, not some insta-girls or supermodels from the past whom I am tired of so much.

Yes, they do!! The photography and styling is revolting. I would hate on this even if it wasn't shot by him. The makeup on Tori Bowie is really bad and looks cheap.

Was surprised to finds that modelling is just a side gig, and that she's actually a big Olympic athlete!

Well he's just been blacklisted by Condé Nast International so I hope that's the case.

probably because people -myself included- were shaming them for using him

On Tuesday afternoon, a Valentino spokesperson told the Daily Beast: “Valentino's last campaign with photographer Terry Richardson was shot in July 2017–there are no plans on a future campaign and, of course, take these allegations against Terry Richardson seriously.”

A spokesperson for Valentino would not elaborate on why the label had decided to terminate their working relationship with the photographer only now, in the wake of Richardson being blacklisted by Condé Nast International titles, including Vogue and GQ.

Valentino acting as if Terry was innocent before July 2017. Disgusting.

Yeah, they were living under a rock in 2014, apparently.

Horrible campaign in general and the fact it was shot by Terry makes it even worse.

 

[Perickles]

He is getting roasted now

This is the opposite of what I think of when I imagine Valentino; I'm not sure I really like it. That being said, Faretta and Selena Forrest are the standouts in the group. The solo image of Ratner is also p nice, especially with those BEAUTIFUL doll-like eyes of hers

Controversy aside, it's a bad campaign. It's not glamorous, it's weird, the cast is weird, the set is weird.
I love Pierpaolo but this is a no!

If at least it had some humor...
