Le Rouge et Le Noir
May 7th, 2010 Betty comments (59)Rare is the brand that people get excited about in terms of fashion, imagery AND casting. Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci is one of those and for F/W 10, WWD gives us a preview of the campaign with one exciting and unexpected face. Lea T, a Brazilian transsexual who is his former assistant and fit model joins longtime Tisci favorites Mariacarla Boscono and Simon Nessman. Returning face Jonathan Marquez appears as well, with a pink haired Malgosia Bela and Catherine McNeil adding supermodel vavoom. Fresh faces Joan Smalls, Ming Xi , Paolo Roldan and Willy Cartier appear in their first major campaign which was styled by Carine Roitfeld and shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. (Click here to read more about Riccardo’s thoughts on the campaign)

I’m amazed, just a really great campaign.
Perfect Models, Stryling and Shots.
Hope it’s going to be an awesome campaign season.

Bela stole the shot. That’s why she’s an icon.

HOW IS THE TRANSEXUAL IN THE PICTURE ???????????

finally! the one i wait for every season. the saturated colors look so original. mariacarla is dynamite and finally catherine is back. best casting by far.

Ming Xi shines!!! There’s room for more than just one asian. Everyone here’s equally amazing though. Love Catherine and Malgosia’s hair.

Wow, Catherine was such a suprise for me, while she didn’t walk in the show.
I have to mention that Dafne Cejas is also included, but not in this shot.
Pity MCB is stsnding before catherine, but MCB looks great, too.
I don’t care about the rest, at all.

Can’t wait to see the part of Dafne + Joan. It’s breathing the campaign

Where’s Dafne Cejas? I thought she was suppose to be in the campaign too?
May 7th, 2010
at 1:46 pm
i love what i see with the casting and overall mood = a mix of ck one + helmut lang + bennetton
the styling looks better here – i wasn’t a fan of the runway presentation (the hair in the women’s runway show didn’t flatter the models.)
will there be accompanying videos?
i’d like to see givenchy collaborate with roberta close (my favorite brasilian trans)
May 7th, 2010
at 1:50 pm
I’m looking forward to seeing Dafne too!

This early campaign news is so exciting! Good to see the new kids after the shows popup in the mix. AND CATHERINE MCNEIL!!! She had seemed to really be falling off the radar to me, and I surely didntexpect to see her here. I’m just elated to see Mariacarla again, as we all know she is the ultimate muse of Tisci. She should have rights to the brand or something. I love her to def!!!! I love Simon Nessman even more than that. Five consecutive seasons at Givenchy is kinda unheard of for a male model, no? However, he is doin the damn thang. He is everywhere (edits, campaign cred), and is still rising, so it seems. (Watch out Mr. Giabiconi, Mr. O’Pry.) Good casting for this campaign, but wanna see more. Thanks Janelle for this ‘early-bird special’. Got my fashion fix today!
BTW………How many times has Mariacarla done Givenchy?
May 7th, 2010

More Lea T please…..her beauty is haunting. ….
I love La Dolce Boscono’s body language here. Ming Xi is stunning!

Thank you Betty! (Gotta give your props. Sorry.)

Amazing. I think Lea T looks so stunning.
I as well cannot wait to see the rest of the campaign

Ohnooo, not Joan Smalls…..

The only thing I love about the campaign is the diversity of it
other than that, i find the campaign pretty boring

Lea T looks fantastic…the whole campaign is fantastic! So happy to see Cat McNeil, too.

Cat looks spectacular. Very “rouge”.
May 7th, 2010
at 7:22 pm
Actually if this ad was in black and whit, the concept was too close to the “CK” campaign campaign from the ’90s with Kate Moss, Stella Tennant and Jenny Shimizu…
Thoughts?

Ugh, why do people keep saying Liu wen would be better?? Ming is far more beautiful physically IMO
May 8th, 2010
at 12:51 am
First glance.. perhaps I’ll muse elsewhere
Second glance…beauty and love becometh.
It is subtle but quite the eye catcher.
I find my eyes dissecting every line and piece. So vivid.
The gloves on Malgosia have got my name bedazzled all over them…

Ming looks great with Mariacarla!Ming deserves it!Liu closing the show doesn’t necessarily mean she gets the campaign.Ming’s looks are much stronger than Liu TBH and I can totally see Ming going to be HUGE!

PS… just read the comments… Toby K… i am not tranny obsessed, but get a life… they are part of the public that comsumes fashion. They too deserve representation. I guess you’re stuck in the 1930′s. Too bad for you, they’re fun and they SPEND $!

May 9th, 2010

Lea T. seems like Jamie Bochert in this picture.
May 9th, 2010
at 6:44 pm
Yeah, Toby K. what’s up with you saying the transexual is not cool? Is it cus u didn’t like the pose? Or the fact that she is a transexual? What ever you meant it sounded pathetic and immature.
May 9th, 2010
at 8:41 pm
Lea T is divine! I’m soo glad Ming scored this one, let’s see her more often why don’t we!!!!
Thank you Ricardo for breaking the boundries and accentuating fashion in new ways. In brilliant ways! J’adore Givenchy la rouge et la noir!

Regarding Dafne and Joan, these were the only images released by Givenchy. And as to why they didn’t mention Dafne in the WWD article, who knows? I am old school and will only mention campaigns booked if sources like WWD mention it.
