Probably my favorite campaign of the season.
Disregarding that, I'm absolutely puzzled as to why, of all the models, Bette didn't get a close up show.

Mine too, and the only one I love
I didn't like the first shot much, but the rest is lovely.

Wow, this campaign is beyond impressive. A nice change from David Sims, although I really liked his campaign last season. I knew this was going to be amazing judging from the first shot posted.

This is quite a romantic campaign but could have been executed better. There is no chemistry between models, nor between models and background setting, and the last shot with Fei Fei and Clement seems a bit random. Zuzanna looks stunning, and despite I don't see Fei Fei as a Valentino girl, she is beautiful and poised in it. The house has been delivering something quite different from the past, from collection to ads, too young and fresh for me to swallow.

Every single image is lacking - the clothes aren't impressive enough to have such a basic line up of girls on a naturally-lit and empty background.
The models have no motive - they look as if they have been told to do what they like, and though you'd think this would create something natural and beautiful, it just looks awkward - they appear dislocated from each other in very flat images.
This would be the one image with the most potential, entirely due to the perspective, but unfortunately it is ruined by the lace espadrilles and the wearer's expression.

And for me the campaign is 55% about Fei Fei 
. I don't even know who the girl is but like I mentioned in Deborah's thread, when you see her [Deborah's] body of work and then look at what Fei Fei projected here.. she just seems made for this specific lens and campaign, you almost forget about the rest. In that regard, I do think there is a lack of 'balance' between the skills or just 'involvement' of the models but for me, the weakest (or just the less 'strong') of the entire casting has got to be Maud, there isn't one picture when she doesn't look like she's waiting for the camera to click or like she's become extremely tense after holding the same pose for a while. Guess one could blame it on her inexperience.
That said, these are minor complaints, I still find the set to be divine and it's all about textures and making each garment come to life through the scenery, you often see photographers/labels dying to create a sequence between 10 pictures, and I love that in this campaign it's almost a marriage between the construction of the clothes and the materials of these abandoned houses and their synchrony with nature.
