You’re no doubt very well aware of the fact that Louis Vuitton (just like any other fashion brand on the planet) likes to make use of their ambassadors. From Sophie Turner to Léa Seydoux, the faces of Vuitton are always out representing the LVMH-owned luxury French fashion house (founded in 1854). Make no mistake Ana de Armas is one of those Louis Vuitton brand ambassadors often called upon for the brand’s advertising campaigns. After signing on the dotted line in 2023, the Cuban-Spanish actress has fronted a handful of Louis Vuitton High Jewelry advertising campaigns. It’s a repeat performance with the unveiling of the La Damier de Louis Vuitton collection from Francesca Amfitheatrof. Out is photographer Solve Sundsbo on this occasion, in favor of Ethan James Green who captures Ana for a series of undeniably flawless campaign photos.

Ana de Armas for the Louis Vuitton High Jewelry 2024 Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Happy for Ana de Armas that she’s getting that bag, but these jewelry campaigns all look the same,” critiqued Hchloe the moment the campaign struck.

“So generic. I am sure I’ve seen better photos from fashion jewelry brands,” tourbillions chimed in.

“You’d think Ana would work well in any sort of generic campaign,” added tigerrouge.

“Beyond dull,” disapproved forum member zoom.

Yet not everyone was left so dismayed over the end result. “This type of portrait photography will always please me to no end. There’s not one element to this that I dislike. Ana de Armas looks absolutely drop-dead gorgeous here. What an absolute beauty! I can appreciate the switch-up to Ethan James Green on this occasion. It’s all just so effortless,” admired vogue28.

“Ana de Armas looks pretty in the photographs. I especially like the shot of her where she is showing off her shoulders. Overall, I agree that the ads are missing creativity,” noted MModa.

Rafael Pavarotti remains of the industry’s most in-demand of photographers. The world of fashion continues to endorse the Brazilian lensman like there’s no tomorrow. Over the past twelve months alone, magazines like Vogue Italia and Perfect have employed Pavarotti to lens their cover shoots. Brands like H&M, Guess, Balmain, and Dior have also rushed to commission Pavarotti. Beymen is one of the latest to sign Rafael Pavarotti on the dotted line, who points his lens toward Jessica Chastain for the department store’s Fall 2024 campaign. The American actress and film producer dials up the glamour (and then some) in the high-glam campaign imagery, complete with vivid gold and deep purple backdrops. Chastain sports looks from the Fall 2024 collections of brands like Alaïa, Tom Ford, Jacquemus, and Victoria Beckham – all available for purchase via the luxury Turkish department store.

Jessica Chastain for Beymen Fall 2024:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I adore the color palette,” raved kokobombon the moment the cover struck.

“A truly wonderful campaign. This is the level of glamour that I will always and forever be here for, and Rafael Pavarotti is one of the very few who isn’t afraid of pure unapologetic glamour. That first shot of Jessica Chastain in the lilac dress is HEAVENLY. The coloring here is divine,” voiced vogue28.

“Once again, Pavarotti proves to be among the best of his generation. Those colors! The first shot with the lilac dress on a purple background is wonderful,” fashionlov enthused.

“I love it. Although the retouching is criminal,” noted Deleted Member 1957.

Also quick to point out the post-production was Hchloe. “The airbrushing is out of control,” they complained.

MyNameIs even went as far as to describe the campaign as “tacky” but do you agree?

The 2024 Gucci Gift advertising campaign is apparently the gift that keeps on giving. Spread across five chapters, chapter one served up Kendall Jenner and gang evoking the spirit of the legendary Savoy hotel in London. Chapter two saw Jenner join Kirsty Hume and daughter Violet, with the casting venturing off on an alpine adventure. The third installment of the Gucci Gift campaign celebrates all-things family for the festive season. Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno casts Tina Knowles and Solange Knowles as the embodiment of the campaign. Also part of the cast for chapter three are Duyen Nguyen, Lauren Nguyen, Chloe Nguyen, Mariel Hemingway, Dree Hemingway, Langley Fox Hemingway, and Yanii Gough. Each of the three families were captured by De Sarno favorite Anthony Seklaoui for the occasion.

The 2024 Gucci Gift ‘Chapter 3’ Campaign with Tina Knowles, Solange Knowles & More:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Wow, that’s bad,” shrieked BlueRuin upon first look.

“WTF is that light placement?” asked a dumbfounded avonlea002.

“This is supposed to make me want to buy these products? Riiiiiiiight,” blueorchid laughed.

Also far from impressed was forum member Frederic01. “This is absolutely terrible and impossibly cringe. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I thought Gucci was supposed to be pursuing ‘brand elevation’ and ‘timeless appeal’? How is this anything here of a elevated or timeless nature?” they questioned.

“If we had razzie awards for fashion, Gucci would take them all at this point,” declared GivenchyAddict.

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again: there truly is just some partnerships in fashion that make complete sense. Whether it’s Linda Evangelista teaming up with Steven Meisel or Penélope Cruz posing for Luigi & Iango – the end result (more often than not) is a one for the books. Kate Moss posing before the lens of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott is also one of fashion’s greatest dream teams. From the covers of British Vogue to creating iconic advertising campaigns for the likes of Missoni – we approve of this pairing. It should come as no surprise to see Kate enlist Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott as photographers to capture the legendary Brit beauty’s upcoming Kate Moss x Zara collab campaign (dropping November 30). In the sultry imagery, Kate does exactly what Kate does best, oozing an effortless ease, showcasing the highly-anticipated collection.

The Kate Moss x Zara Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love this. You could never make me dislike Kate Moss, even more so when photographed by M&M. She looks terrific here, I love the mood and coloring. I was instantly reminded of the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2005 campaign with the beauty styling,” voiced vogue28.

“Stunning! Kate Moss has not looked this beautiful in a good while. I love the hair, makeup, styling, photography, color scheme, and mood. Mert & Marcus always bring out the best in her,” echoed MModa.

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was forum member tomtakesphotos. “Kate looks f*cking GREAT! I love the photos. Can’t go wrong smoldering in a beautiful chair, with those cheekbones and some soft overhead light,” they enthused.

“The best she has looked in a while,” vogue22 praised.

Ever since setting foot in Christian Dior HQ, Maria Grazia Chiuri has commissioned many female photographers to capture the brand’s various campaigns. Subsequent to MGC’s debut season in Spring 2017, female talents like Brigitte Lacombe. Paola Mattioli, Alice Mann, Collier Schorr, and more recently Sarah Jones have been called upon to capture Dior’s campaign imagery. Make no mistake Brigitte Niedermair is a firm fave of Maria Grazia Chiuri as Christian Dior creative director. Nierdermair is back (once again), this time for the Christian Dior Cruise 2025 season campaign offering. Ali Dansky, Jiali Zhao, Sanija Dalecka, and Tanya Churbanova become the faces of the collection, which was presented in Scotland back in June. Throughout the campaign, the girls gaze down Nierdermair’s lens and pose against a pale gold backdrop.

The Christian Dior Cruise 2025 Ad Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I like the blurry background. That’s all,” voiced FashionFanatico upon checking out the campaign.

“It’s like almost there… but not good. It has components to be good and then it all is just a bit meh,” chimed in forum member Kite.

Sharing the same sentiments toward the campaign was reese06. “Everything is disjointed and nothing is working together. This doesn’t evoke any emotion and might as well be a catalog. Awful,” they stated.

Frederic01 wasn’t best impressed either, commenting: “Dior had the opportunity to photograph this collection on location in Scotland. Instead, they chose a studio with a mustard-yellow backdrop? Why!”

“Admittedly, some shots are more superior than others. However, this is just another fine example displaying the level of mediocrity we’ve come to expect from Maria Grazia Chiuri at Christian Dior. There’s just zero sense of life, energy or luxury radiating from this campaign imagery. Such a snoozefest after that spectacular display at Drummond Castle!” exclaimed vogue28.

Chanel continues to remain without a creative director. Following the abrupt departure of Virginie Viard in June, the fabled French fashion house is yet to announce a replacement. As a result, the powers that be at Chanel HQ continue to serve up a strong sense of familiarity with its advertising campaigns. Firm Viard favorite Loli Bahia is ushered in as the face of the Chanel Cruise 2025 collection. Fresh from the Coco Neige 2024 campaign offering, the French beauty takes the South of France via the lens of Jamie Hawkesworth for the Cruise 2025 campaign installment. Back in May, Viard presented the collection in Marseille (on the rooftops of the Cité Radieuse) which was subsequently the designer’s last for Chanel.

The Chanel Cruise 2025 Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Why is it giving house-to-house fashion catalog?” questioned tourbillions upon first look.

“Loli Bahia looks like Bozo’s girlfriend in the shot with the hat. Literally some of the worst clothes I’ve seen in quite some time,” exclaimed GivenchyHomme.

“The South of France setting is what’s selling this to me, which looks absolutely heavenly. I’m fine with Loli Bahia as the face of Chanel but I’m just not sold on Jamie Hawkesworth for Chanel. Everything feels very… pedestrian and juvenile for a brand like Chanel,” vogue28 critiqued.

EDEN21 commented: “I don’t mind Loli Bahia but for some reason I don’t buy her as a Chanel muse.”

Yet not everyone was of the same sentiment. “Jamie Hawkesworth’s work always leaves me wanting more. These images make me dream. Love Loli Bahia for Chanel,” MModa enthused.

If like us, you’ve no doubt become completely accustomed to being transported around the world via the advertising campaigns of Michael Kors. Over recent seasons, the New York-based fashion label has whisked us off to Monte Carlo and Capri. We’re back on home turf with the unveiling of the Michael Kors Holiday 2024 campaign. The American designer secured an all-star cast in the form of Amelia Gray, Delilah Belle, Nyagua Ruea, Sherry Shi, Alton Mason, Patricia Field, Harry Daniels, Morgan Jay, and Citrine Cash Collins for the brand’s festive offering. The cast descend upon upon downtown New York throughout the campaign captured by photographer Jared Kocka, and directed by Bardia Zeinali in the accompanying film.

Amelia Gray, Delilah Belle, Patricia Field & More for Michael Kors Holiday 2024:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Is Michael Kors selling botox and fillers?” quizzed DK92 upon checking out the campaign imagery.

“So nice of the mommy Lisa [Rinna] to fund both of her daughters a round of lip filler and an eyebrow lift,” chimed in avonlea002.

Also far from overjoyed was GivenchyHomme. “Reeks of desperation. The brand is more sophisticated than this!” they exclaimed.

“Philipp Plein, is that you?” asked Ihhbl.

“Remember when the models were jet setting in the Michael Kors campaign? Now they’re riding the bus and taking pictures with bad lighting at midtown pubs,” sighed a disapproving reese06.

Sabato De Sarno is yet to show any signs of ditching Kendall Jenner as the face of Gucci. The American model was first the face of the Gucci Valleria campaign (alongside Bad Bunny) and was more recently welcomed as part of the cast for chapter one of the Gucci Gift campaign for the 2024 holiday season. Jenner is back for the second chapter, of the Gucci Gift campaign, coming together with Kirsty Hume, Violet Hume, Addison Soens, Diane Chiu, Devyn Garcia, Jannik Sinner, and Nile Winchester. Entitled “To the Mountains”, the Gucci gang head off on a festive alpine adventure via the lens of photographer Anthony Seklaoui (a firm fave of Gucci creative director Sabato De Sarno).

The Gucci Gift Chapter 2, 2024 Campaign with Kendall Jenner, Kirsty Hume & More:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Oh dear, this is truly sad and tragic. Nothing about this campaign is chic or charming or anything. A Gucci branded sweater with a GG monogram cardigan over the top paired with GG mittens and GG hat, and then finished off with a GG monogram duffle. They couldn’t possibly insert any more logos into that look if they tried. And Kendall Jenner at a brand that is allegedly trying to become more ‘timeless’ and ‘elevated’? Seriously?” asked Frederic01.

“These people are getting paid millions for coming up with sh*t like this. Have fun while the ship is sinking,” voiced an unforgiving avonlea002.

Also majorly underwhelmed was jeremydante. “Casting Kendall Jenner is pointless. It really is. It’s almost lazy. And I get it, she can be a canvas but it’s so flat here,” they critiqued.

“Admittedly, I don’t mind the sight of Kendall Jenner here or the photography from Anthony Seklaoui. However, there’s no denying it all just feels a little… cheap coming from a brand like Gucci. The sense of luxury, once again, completely missing from a Sabato De Sarno Gucci campaign,” slammed vogue28.

Kim Kardashian unveiled SKIMS to the world in 2019, and since then, we’ve encountered collaborations with the likes of Fendi and Swarovksi. Now, the American shapewear brand is collaborating with none other than Dolce & Gabbana. The iconic Italian design duo and SKIMS “unite to reveal curve-enhancing pieces for everyday confidence and unmatched sensuality”. The partnership doesn’t exactly come as a surprise. After all, Dolce & Gabbana teamed up with Kim Kardashian for their Spring 2023 collection, when the American socialite and billionaire businesswoman curated a collection with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, based on archival pieces from 1987 to 2007. In the Dolce & Gabbana x SKIMS advertising campaign, Kim (joined by sister Kourtney Kardashian) oozes la dolce vita via the lens of Nadia Lee Cohen and seemingly pays tribute to Italian screen icon Sophia Loren.

The Dolce & Gabbana x SKIMS Ad Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Love, love, love everything about this,” aracic heralded the moment the campaign struck.

“Nadia lee is giving us the dream! I think it’s brilliant,” newton91 applauded.

Forum member creationmade14 liked what they saw too. “I really hate to love this. With all these drab campaigns coming from brands we really used to admire, I just love Skims’ evolution and ability to create interesting concepts,” they commended.

“Goddammit both the campaign and video are really good,” GERGIN admitted.

Vogue28 enthused: “Massively here for this. A feast for the eyes. You can just see Kim Kardashian is in her absolute element here, and gives far more to the camera than Kendall Jenner is capable of. This Italian concept has been massively done to death but I doubt I would become tired of it, and it has been executed very well here!”

“Camp and fun! Yes, I am here for it,” raved fashionsavvvvy.

We hold Karim Sadli in extreme high regard here on theFashionSpot. After all, can you blame us? Whether the French lensman is proving every inch his worth as Chanel campaign photographer or capturing the covers of Harper’s Bazaar France – the end result is simply spectacular. Therefore, we are not at all surprised to see the powers that be at Emporio Armani secure Karim Sadli to lens the Fall 2024 advertising campaign. Sadli replaces Julien Martinez Leclerc this season, and points his lens toward models Puck Schrover, Amrit Ame, Yoonmi Sun, Felix Cheong-Macleod, Limamu Mbaye, Max Gottschalk, and actor Jonathan Bailey. The cast pose against a dramatic coastal backdrop throughout the minimalist yet stunning campaign series.

The Fall 2024 Emporio Armani Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Very beautiful,” instantly admired Lola701.

“Gorgeous!” forum member WAVES declared.

“The only campaign I love this season. It’s soooo stunning,” Bertrando3 enthused.

Also very much a fan was vogue28. “What a superb campaign from Karim Sadli. I keep seeing this campaign inside various different magazines and find it so striking. The coloring is gorgeous, and I absolutely love that dramatic coastal backdrop. Yoonmi Sun looks absolutely spectacular here!” he raved.

“A complete KNOCKOUT of a campaign! Best of the season,” applauded VogueDisciple93.

“Beautiful campaign! Other brands should take notes,” voiced NicholasII.

“Karim Sadli really delivered on this one,” grimm stated.
