Valentino

 

Models: Karen Elson / Elite, Stella Tennant / Women. Maggie Rizer / Elite

The Editor: Very similar to the Gucci in a way that you would think would be detracting but it actually works. Reminds you of a really great Fashion Week after party, where the girls left the show in the clothes and make-up. Really communicates a sense of jaded exclusivity.

Photographer: That's because everything's slightly green. Love the green tint. Makes it sick. This is new and elegant as opposed to old and elegant. You know what really impresses me here? I'm impressed by the use of red to contrast the flourescent green tint. It's slightly tarnished like copper turning green. Very cool.

The Clothes Horse: I'm losing the clothes though. I'm getting great ideas for hair and make-up for the next time I do an after-hours. The slick backed hair with a big loose bun in the back is wicked! But there's something about this ad, it's not letting me know how to dress the way Gucci does.

The Editor: Maybe the people who wear Valentino don't need to be told how to dress darling. These clothes aren't trendy in the least. It's a very hip, very, very trendy advertisement but the clothes are very 35 and over. Which is wonderful. I think.
