Giorgio Armani’s handbags and ready-to-wear fashions are true works of arts. So it’s only fitting that creative director Emanuele del Fabbro’s spring summer 2009 collection was inspired by surrealist paintings.
She’s no Weeping Woman, but Russian model Sasha Pivovarova makes a convincing surreal muse. The minimalistic makeup by Charlotte Tilbury and the angular hairstyle by Luigi Murenu help achieve this bold look.
Sasha Pivovarova might be gorgeous, but for me the star of this ad is that sexy Giorgio Armani satchel. It seems to mark a shift away from the oversized bulky bags so popular last season with its streamlined look. The retro domed shape and cute flap pockets have me salivating!
There’s so much movement in these commercials; the images nearly leap from the screen. The elegant look is achieved with classic black and white tones, a welcome contrast to the colorful campaigns we’ve seen for the new season. Congratulations to photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot for daring to be different!
