I didn't see this coming and I'm not sure I like it.

WOW i read today that she was cast, had no idea the ads are alredy out.

But all i can say is MAGNIFICENT!!!!

What a beautiful ad, it looks like the iconic work she did with Avedon way back, the dress is fabulous, her face looks amazing, and i love the pose.Its simple and chic. It almost works like a grave stone for "AF for V", in a sad sort of way.

Thanks a million for posting this.

I agree it would have been great to see color but still i think its absolutely beautiful cant wait to see more

 

[AnaBGD]

Gorgeous! She looks stunning, almost statuesque. I like how so simple ad can leave such a great impression!

 

[Northern Star]

Whoaa!!!!!!!! A big shocker this one
Stephanie for Valentino I would never have guessed but what a picture and as Miss Dalloway says harks back to her work with the great Richard AvedonB) I am very interested to know who lens this?????and wanna see more.
Her pose is very balletesque IMO.

I love Seymour, she's fierce. The appeal of the photo is understandable but I have to say that the flexing of her thigh muscle does ruin it a bit for me.

 

[lindscha]

Its okay... I feel like Stephanie isn't a Valentino girl...

 

[bittercain]

her fingers make nonsense to me
while her thigh muscle disorder my eyes

 

[meganleigh]

while I didn't expect Seymour for Valentino, I am quite pleased with how it came out! even if the spidey fingers are a abit distracting

 

[styleamy]

wow!
It's so good!
I think that It's not pre-spring 2009

thank you Luxx

 

[kwikspell]

I'm with Luxx. I'm not sure I like this, either.

make-up looks like from Mert and marcus works: all their models look like the same one girl wth same make-up (Val garland works with `em, it if im not wrong)

 

[testinofan]

I Liked but rememnber me to YSL SS2001

moda

I absolutely hate this. It's not Valentino to me - the ad lacks the elegance and the romance I associate with the brand. Stephanie's hands freak me out, and her thigh... Ugh. She looks way too muscular for what Valentino represents.

 

[Alien Sex Friend]

YSL was better in 1000 times...

 

[thiago:)]

I don't like it and I don't like Stephanie.

I think it's a stunning shot - I just don't like her hands. They look like huge claws to me. But the image is so dynamic I'm willing to overlook this. It's gorg

 

[MyNameIs]

How boring. And I second the comments about the claws. What's that all about?
