You've seen the advertisement, now here's the video. Gucci has released this colorful clip showcasing its 2009 spring/summer collection.

Just like the print commercial, it stars Lily Donaldson, Abbey Lee, and Natasha Poly as Amazon women and Jonatan Frenk as a polished and poised Robinson Crusoe. It's also got Dutch superstar photographs Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin behind the lens.

This video gives us a closer look at the new Gucci handbags, which include a luscious red tassled hobo and a to-die-for slouchy ostrich leather bag. The sophisticated collection of man bags might even convince the love of your life to carry one.

These purses have so much personality, but it's a shame I can't say the same thing for the models. Sure they’re attractive specimens, but it's all surface with little substance. Their vacant expressions and slow, languorous movements might be sexy to some, but I think they're just snoozeworthy. I understand wanting the fashions to shine, but a handbag should never have more life in it than a human being!

Gucci has gone troppo with its spring/summer 2009 advertising campaign. The photo has a truly international flavor with models from all over the globe. Australian glamourpuss Abbey Lee stars alongside British beauty Lily Donaldson, Russian siren Natasha Poly, and Swedish sensation Jonatan Frenk.

The models look gorgeous in their colorful Gucci wardrobe, but it’s hard to look at them with that stunning snakeskin purse in the frame. With the jungle backdrop, it’s almost like the python handbag was created using one of the locals! The bold python print and polished gold-tone hardware give this bag a sophisticated style, but the casual slouch make it versatile enough to carry every day.

The tropical commercial was photographed by Dutch dynamic duo, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. I love the saturated colors they’ve used which make you feel the humidity and heat of the photo shoot. Look out for this gorgeous commercial in your favorite fashion mags now.
