Givenchy

Ok so first proper post of the year! Hooray, happy new decade and everything guys.
So here we go, today its about ADVERTS...wooo.

Well in particular the Givenchy S/S 2010 adverts, the whole campaign has just been released.

I LIKE IT, the shoes are so nice, and i really really like the mens sandals. Even though they are for men. I am not feeling so crazy about these two. It's not so much the way that it's been shot, it's the plain monochromatic-ness of it. In the first one there are lot's of pattern, even though there is only black and white, whereas in the others it's very straight foward and pretty dull. Also the hair and make-up? Ok you have made a collection entirely in black and white, so why make the models hair parted in the middle, and bare faces?

Not to my taste exactly, but I really do like the exploration of pattern for this collection. I just think it could have been shown in a more interesting way.

bye for now
