Valentino S/S 2008 : Amber, Anja, Raquel & Shalom by Inez & Vinoodh

[style_expert]

Even though Valentino's SS08 campaign features four great names -- Raquel Zimmermann (#1), Anja Rubik (#8), Shalom Harlow, and Amber Valetta -- Inez & Vinoodh play an interesting game of hide-and-seek in the advertisements, angling the shots so that long hair obscures the faces of all the models. Now...who is who, exactly?

So not what I was expecting...

Thank style_expert.

Nooo Now that's depressing! Raquel's face is so beautiful to be hidden

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I know -- shocking, isn't it

But it's I&V...

I'm half-appalled and half-amused

So basically Anja has the best campaign season of her life, and her face is obsured in two of the biggest campaigns. Fantastic, there's always a catch.

 

[ThiagoMello]

Raquel better be the one with the eyewear shot! Where is the blonde hair?

So not what I was expecting...

Same here, I'm slightly underwhelmed

Hahah me to,i think its great we are actually surprised by Valentino for once.

 

[ThiagoMello]

Caroline Ribeiro's ads from 2002 also didn't show her face.

I like the poses and all but I'm not happy about the no face rule, and the same hair to everybody just so we can get messed up! The all look like Freja! The old Freja

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^Lmao,It was done on purpose hahah.

 

[xPedro]

I love it but ... WTF? I wanna see Raquel's face!

 

[happytrail]

well that's just stupid! why have top models in the campaigns if no one can see them? i don't like valentino and his campaigns anyways, so i wasn't expecting much.

 

[Cosette]

wow, i completely love this.

 

[masquerade]

part of me loves the idea that they hired all these big name models only to hide their faces and part of me is sad because these are disappointing

 

[carmen_kass]

At least the got paid.

 

[unipine]

these are just silly. i don't like them.

 

[carmen_kass]

I don't see the point in using top models for this kind of campaign, if the faces were going to be hidden, they could have used some new girls who could have used the work, at least they could say "I've been in a Valentino ad campaign"

 

[hfgl]

Oh,hell no!!Piiiissed!!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^I like it,thats the point.And in the end its their decision,the models got paid anyway.So its like every other campaign,just we cant tell who is who.
