Tami is such a queen!

Wow, what a stunning campaign. I don't even care how literally they went for the african theme. Those shots with the "sand storm" are breathtaking. So far my favourite ad

I wish it was just Tamiiiii

Beautiful campaign. The styling is amazing and the location is just incredible.

Thanks so much for sharing, sensation!

Such a stunning backdrop, just beautiful images, but I totally agree the other girls bring nothing, this should have just been Tami. But then I'm sure this would have received more criticism for racist undertones. That 6th shot is just as iconic as Jean Paul Goude's photo of Naomi racing the cheetah.

I love when a less traditional photographer shoots fashion like Steve McCurry. I find the involvement of the Maasai people far more interesting than some of models. There is a possibility that this campaign will be problematic for various coherent reasons, which I completely agree with.

Cast: Alice Metza, Cameron Traiber, Greta Varlese, Kirin Dejonckheere, Tami Williams (the genuine star of the campaign)

Happy for Tami, but I'm going to pretend I didn't see this/that it doesn't exist and go jump off the nearest cliff now.

Precisely. The natives-as-backdrop thing's been really exhausted already (and might I ad, if they were going for a Kenyan angle, why not use a Kenyan girl in the casting, like the beautiful Nicole Atieno?). That being said, the majority of the pictures, even if a little static, are visually stunning and very rich. There's always something new to appreciate with each viewing of the pictures, which is something I appreciate in a fashion campaign, something that's so often surface-deep. The 6th, 8th, 9th and 13th pictures are especially beautiful, I find.

AMAZING!
I wasn't a fan of the collection on the runway because it lacked finesse and i was slightly offensed by the jewelleries but this is great. They did it with taste and i really like the unexpected choice of photographer (as usual for them).

Sometimes, something literal is great...it's just a matter of execution!

With the clothes and the amazing landscapes, i don't mind the girls doing nothing.
Tami is really the star

Tami is beautiful. The other girls are just unnecessary. Beautiful ad Valentino!

UH-MAZING campaign. Tami is clearly the star here but the cast is gorgeous and the landscapes add stature and drama. High marks to #TeamValentino
