Worst Ad Ever

[Sweet rus]

Versace with madonna, very ennoying to see celebrities in ads

I find that deisel add just plain ugly, and personally I am not a big Fan of Versaces adds. Maddona, Demi Moore?!?! sorry.

i agree, versace doesnt float my boat. thanks for contributing guys!

Original Sin, i agree with you about the YSL Daria ads, but i have to say that those ads are not photoshopped like crazy. It's just Juergen Teller shooting his style at night in Paris, probably with direct flash, and not bothering to balance the exposure "correctly." (I have no problem with him shooting how he shoots -- if YSL want to pay him for that, then more power to him. The shots are kind of cool, but a bit ridiculous for an ad campaign.) The campaign that i think is really weak is the Ralph Lauren collection ads with the cheesy aviator look. It's so amateurish and simple that i almost get embarassed looking at the photos.

thank you so much for that explanation! i dont know a whole lot about photographer and that was very informative

 

[OriginalSin]

Agree with prettyjuice and OriginalSin--I don't like those ads either, although I think the Diesel ad you mention pales in comparison with the Diesel ad with the man and woman with a scythe on a bearskin rug.

oh i know which one you mean! i was asking all my friends...so what the hell is this ad about? it looks stupid not to mention disturbing.

I second that .

[finalfashion]

every versace ad ever,

especially the red and white themed ones with mariacarla (those ones looked like they were ripping escada! ha ha)

and those awful ones with the sickly multicoloured lighting from last season

This thread reminds me of the wise words of a former classmate: Without ads, how would we know what to buy? I'll have to think over my least favorites...

 

[sugarbabefairy]

I have to say the Levis ads, where the jeans are sewn on to the model's skin... rank rank rank!!!!!

versace all thw way

 

[travis_nw8]

the new ysl ads-especially the mens one with the eiffel tower in the background and the gold tints..

 

[Amelia]

Prettyjuice: you're right. The newest Diesel ad with Ana Beatriz Barros and naked model. It's so awful

 

[melbguy]

not a big fan of those shoe ads with Isabeli

 

[CharlottefromCA]

I'm not sure Hate is the word.. but I strongly dislike Solange's Gucci ads... such a dissapointment..

 

[CharlottefromCA]

Just reading through the thread and I have to add Demi Moore in Versace.. and I actually hate those ads.. I'm not a fan of Demi Moore.. and I'm not a fan of celebs in ads..

Not that I hate them, I just didn't understand their appeal, last season's Prada (s/s 05)

They weren't the worst ads I've seen, but people were going nuts over them and I couldn't help but think, why????

S/s 04 Prada on the other hand, I hated those.....the models looked plastic, and not in the Mert and Marcus photoshopped to inhuman perfection way, but just eerie plastic people.

This season's Gucci ads are pretty abysmal too, as are the last 3 seasons from Dior, talk about boring.

 

[J'aime_la_mode]

I hate all ads with celebrities like the Louis Vuitton ads with Uma Thermon eeeew!

I hate all ads with celebrities like the Louis Vuitton ads with Uma Thermon eeeew!

Uma's mother was a model ... isn't she a second-generation model who also acts?

I think Uma's beautiful in those ads.
