I don't get it why everybody is loving it. I don't find anything good about this.

It's personal taste. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean no one else should and just because most people here seem to like it, it doesn't mean you should too.

^thank you for the link

Best campaign indeed! Is there a concept story explained somewhere? I see it as mermaids going from the ocean to land, a romanticised theory of evolution

Even better than I could have predicted. Finally something that feels fresh and new, finally.

Took a very different turn to what I was expecting but its ABSOLUTELY gorgeous.

Every image is brilliant. It reminds me of the Paolo Roversi couture editorials in Vogue Italia.

Right elements of beauty and fun.

It would be nice if the menswear ad used the same kind of theme, but I really can't see it. The collection didn't exactly scream beachside. I'm pretty sure Pudelka didn't even shoot the menswear, but we'll see.

 

[Emmanuelle]

Sooo good ! But I am a little disappointed there is no other picture like the first we got, where the girls are laying floating on the water.

 

[kokobombon]

I just noticed that on the shoes´pic it says "Garavani", does this mean that they ditched Terry?

 

[alienobserver]

This is very good... some shots reminds me of The Virgin Suicides, it's pretty poetic. What about the last eyewear shot? Fantastic

The way it makes you want to know the story - or to write one in your head - is what immediately sets this apart from most of the campaigns produced at the moment.

I don't find any of the girls to be that remarkable, but I like the way the campaign isn't being 'carried' by obsession over a certain model or the automatic hype attached to a celebrity appearing in it. These images are just quietly producing a certain sort of magic, on their own terms.

I agree! This is so pretty and feels very fresh and new!

I think Valentino has been consistently pretty strong with their campaigns lately. They've used a lot of different photographers in the last few years but managed to produce campaigns that all exude that same romantic, quiet vibe. This one is probably the best campaign after the Turbeville one from S/S 2012. The dark water shot is the obvious standout to me, but all images are better than almost all other campaign pictures we've seen for this season. Impeccable campaign.

Oh my, brilliant campaign
I love every image, the setting, the composition, the lightness of every image.
The eyewear shots are my favourite!

 

[HeatherAnne]

One of the few campaigns of the last few years that will be remembered years from now. So gorgeous. It's like a tropical 'Virgin Suicides'.

 

[Vitamine W]

It echoes a similar atmosphere as "Picnic at Hanging rock", none of the girls are smiling as if they're involved in some weird fatalistic rituals. Beautifully captured and compositioned. Well done Valentino, amazing campaign.

 

[Nepenthes]

Hands down the freshest campaign of the season. I love Michal's point of view and hope we see a lot more of him!

 

[Moofins]

I really enjoy this campaign. So many gorgeous shots that really sell the clothes and make them covetable. I can't even pinpoint a favorite shot.

Amazing campaign!
