Marc Jacobs stays switching it up when it comes to enlisting photographers for his various different advertising campaigns. Over recent seasons, everyone from Tyler Mitchell and Tyrone Levon to Juergen Teller and Harley Weir have been commissioned to lens campaign imagery for the designer’s eponymous brand. Added to the list with the unveiling of Jacobs’ latest is Carin Backoff. Shining a spotlight upon ‘The Sack Bag’ for Summer 2024, Jacobs endorses a whole plethora of personalities as the face and embodiment of the handbag that launched earlier this year. Sabrina Carpenter, Vittoria Ceretti, Irina Shayk, Anok Yai, Charli XCX and Gabriette make appearances throughout the vibrant and splashy campaign, each styled by Alastair McKimm and captured against a gray backdrop within Backoff’s photographic studio.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Vittoria and Irina look great! Not sure about the panties, tho,” voiced justaguy.

“Love the photographs! Beautiful and minimal with a pop of hot, bright colors!” MModa admired.

Also very much a fan was vogue28: “The strongest Marc Jacobs campaign in what feels like forever! There’s a sense of life here, feels more… sultry and alive than recent Marc Jacobs campaigns. The casting is great, but would’ve just left it at Vittoria Ceretti, Irina Shayk and Anok Yai. Nevertheless, a thumbs up from me!”

“The girls look great but the products are not desirable…” scoffed forum member thiago.

KoV agreed, exclaiming: “Imagine getting this cast together just to hawk that bag!”

The fashion powerhouse that is Christian Dior has an extensive rooster of A-list talent on speed dial to call upon as brand ambassadors. Names on said list include the likes of Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jisoo and Rihanna. The fabled French fashion house welcomes Rosalía as global brand ambassador for 2024, fresh from showcasing a chic black Christian Dior Haute Couture creation designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri to the 2024 Met Gala. Cementing their relationship even further, Chiuri taps the Spanish singer-songwriter as the face of the Lady Dior handbag (designed by Gianfranco Ferré in 1994). Following in the footsteps of Marion Cotillard as the face of Christian Dior’s most iconic handbag style, Rosalía poses for Collier Schorr in this year’s campaign series, captured both in full-color and black and white.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Terrible,” exclaimed Scotty the second the campaign dropped.

“Collier Schorr is so overrated. She can literally make anybody fall into depression. Happy for Rosalía, but they could’ve done something else,” Creative chimed in.

Also majorly underwhelmed was Snejana Onopka, who commented: “They set my girl Rosalía up. This is so lifeless!”

“The way Collier Schorr can make anything lifeless/boring is low key amazing,” laughed fashionvvvvvvy.

“Grim. This is a campaign that sells you the idea of doubting you’ve made the right purchase before you’ve even bought the bag,” shared a disapproving tigerrouge.

“Banal beyond belief. To add insult to injury here, this appears to be have been shot with the same lousy setup as Collier Schorr’s Pre-Fall 2024 campaign,” vogue28 pointed out.

Ethan James Green is proving to be a match made in heaven as one of Louis Vuitton’s campaign photographers, with campaigns since the Spring 2022 season becoming an instant hit. The American photographer is called upon by Vuitton’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière on the regular, having shot everyone from Deepika Padukone and Léa Seydoux to Phoebe Dynevor and Naomi Osaka for the famed French fashion house. EJG teams up with stylist Marie-Amélie Sauvé with the unveiling of Louis Vuitton’s latest campaign offering, shining a spotlight upon a selection of the brand’s leather goods pieces (including the Capucines, GO-14 and Side Trunk styles). Models Ida Heiner, Sacha Quenby and Chu Wong assemble before EJG’s lens, and pose on a luxurious sail boat against a sublime and serene seascape.

“Love it, it is so fresh and beautiful. Gives me totally summer vibes,” admired Bombshell1.

“Very beautiful! Marie-Amelie Sauvé did her thing!” applauded Lola701.

Vogue28 shared the sentiments, commenting: “Absolutely spectacular! This, this right here, is precisely the type and style of advertising campaigns I love from Louis Vuitton. Another beautifully shot campaign from EJG, who has become the perfect match for Vuitton. The casting is terrific, the girls look flawless. The setting is beautiful and I love how poised, refined and aspirational it is.”

“Simply WOW! This is amazing,” Bombshell1 expressed upon returning to the thread and checking out more campaign imagery.

Subsequent to becoming creative director of Alaïa in 2021, Pieter Mulier has endorsed a whole host of modeling’s finest with the Paris-based fashion house’s advertising campaigns. Campaigns from the get-go have included everyone from Mona Tougaard and Anna Ewers to Anok Yai and Kaia Gerber. Earlier this year, the Belgian designer secured none other than supermodel sensational Gisele Bündchen for the Winter/Spring 2024 campaign installment. Now, for the Summer/Fall 2024 season, Mulier taps model-of-the-moment Loli Bahia. The French beauty of Algerian descent poses before the lens of photographer Sam Rock. Styled by Aleksandra Woroniecka, the industry fave (who stars in the current campaigns of Versace, Saint Laurent and Chanel) poses within Rock’s photographic studio, showcasing pieces from Mulier’s Alaïa collection against a stark white backdrop, shot in crisp black and white.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Beautiful. I always love Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa ads. So mature and glamorous, Matthieu Blazy should takes notes,” voiced Kanzai the moment the campaign struck.

“Mulier’s clothes are terrible but his campaigns are fabulous! Very Farida [Khelfa] mixed with Sade [Adu] coded! Fabulous!” Lola701 enthused.

WAVES simply described the campaign as “stunning!”

“So freaking beautiful! Love every single thing about this campaign, including the clothes. Sam Rock never disappoints and Pieter Mulier is one of my favorite designers at the moment. His clothes are exquisite,” raved forum member philophile.

Sharing the same level of enthusiasm was vogue28: “Absolutely love this. All for the simplicity and how stark, crisp and clean it is. Always loved Pieter Mulier’s Alaïa from his designs to his campaigns – and this is no exception.”

Balenciaga continue to roll out advertising campaigns thick and fast. Back in January, the storied Paris-based fashion house unveiled a ‘Closet’ advertising starring Kim Kardashian, Patricia Field (and more), each captured within the spaces of their own closets (some of the cast, at least). Then came the Summer 2024 campaign installment, lensed by Czech portrait photographer Jitka Hanzlová. More recently, Demna (Balenciaga’s creative director since 2015) secured Kate Moss, Mona Touggard, Yang Chaoyue and Juyeon as the faces of Balenciaga’s iconic Le City handbag. Not even five whole months in 2024 and that’s a total of three official advertising campaigns. Scratch that – four with the unveiling of Balenciaga’s latest, shining a spotlight upon the Rodeo handbag.

Released early February as a reinterpretation of the everyday tote, the leather goods pieces made its runway debut during the Fall 2024 runway showcase at Paris Fashion Week. The accompanying advertising campaigns sees Demna welcome back Mario Sorrenti as campaign photographer. This time around, Sorrenti fixes his lens upon brand ambassador Nicole Kidman, American model-of-the-moment Amelia Gray and (returning campaign star) Chinese actress and singer Yang Chaoyue. Demna’s ensemble cast tote the same Medium Rodeo style (named after the famed street in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles) in the simplistic campaign imagery, each adorned with different charms (like a Balenciaga ceramic tag and miniature dolphin key chain).

Subsequent to Sabato De Sarno bringing Daria Werbowy out of retirement for his first official campaign as Gucci’s creative director, the Italian fashion house’s campaign imagery has spiraled… into mediocrity. Not even campaigns photographed by David Sims, Tyrell Hampton or Anthony Seklaoui have managed to impress. Seklaoui appears to be a firm fave of the Italian designer, welcoming the French-Lebanese lensman back to shoot Gucci’s Summer 2024 campaign, aptly titled “Lido”. Inspired by the spirit of a quintessential Italian getaway, we’re whisked poolside along with a handful of models including Aboubakar Konte, Adele Aldighieri, Ana Rossolovich, Betty Schupp, Brando Erba, Camille Rowe, Gabriele Gherardi, He Cong, Jiahui Zhang and Victoria Fawole. Styled by Alastair McKimm, the cast frolic under the warm sunshine, and demonstrate their capabilities of breathing underwater throughout the splashy campaign.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“After the Daria Werbowy offering, I had such high hopes for Sabato De Sarno’s Gucci campaign imagery. However, I’ve been left so deflated and majorly underwhelmed by the vast majority of it. Not feeling this summer campaign whatsoever, hate the underwater concept and the random casting,” critiqued vogue28.

“Fun but it’s not Gucci. Nor it is aspirational,” voiced TaylorBinque.

GivenchyHomme felt the same way, commenting: “It’s a good idea, but it’s for the wrong brand. For a brand of this caliber, there should be glistening supermodels lounging on yacht with a Gucci bag and glass of champagne. Not at a pool in someone’s backyard.”

“The new Gucci by Sabato, and styled by Alastair Mckimm is drowning…” shared an unimpressed 90sFan.

“These people be jumping fully clothed into water! Are these items supposed to be waterproof or something?” asked Mr Yayo.

Maria Grazia Chiuri’s love affair with all-things female photographers continues to go stronger, with every passing advertising campaign. Since 2016, when the Italian fashion designer became Christian Dior’s first-ever female creative director, MGC has endorsed female talent like there’s no tomorrow. A whole plethora of female creatives have captured and documented Dior’s various different campaigns. Including eveyrone from Brigitte Lacombe and Paola Mattioli to Alice Mann and Brigitte Niedermair. Up next is Collier Schorr. Chiuri called upon to American photographer to shoot Dior’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection. This collection was re-unveiled to the fashion press in New York City at the Brooklyn Museum just last month. Models Alice McGrath, Diane Tassigny, Ena Poppe, Nayonikaa Shetty and Ying Ouyang were called upon for the occasion, who pose throughout Schorr’s series of portraits, paying homage to screen legend Marlene Dietrich.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Always the same boring concept,” immediately called out forum member matheus_s.

“Admittedly, this isn’t the worst Christian Dior advertising campaign I’ve come across during Maria Grazia Chiuri’s tenure. However, it’s all just so… insipid, lackluster and flat. The drama, theatrics and glamour needed to be turned ALL the way up for a collection inspired by Marlene Dietrich,” voiced vogue28.

Karim Sadli’s photography has become synonymous with Chanel. As creative director of the fabled French fashion house, Virginie Viard has enlisted the Paris-based photographer to capture various Chanel campaign imagery. Sadli was tasked with photographing the Fall 2019 campaign (the late Karl Lagerfeld’s last collection) and has subsequently went on the capture models-of-the-moment for Cruise 2020 and Lily-Rose Depp for Cruise 2021 (to only name a few). After shooting last year’s eyewear campaign offering, the Harper’s Bazaar France regular is back for the 2024 installment, shooting models Loli Bahia, Liu Wen, Alaato Jazyper and América González against a sleek white backdrop for a series of classic and sharp portraits, selling Chanel’s latest 70s and 80s-inspired frames like there’s no tomorrow.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I love Alaato’s photo,” exclaimed Ihhbl the moment the campaign struck.

“I like Loli’s black and white pics,” chrisand489 chimed in.

Also very much a fan of the outcome was vogue28: “Always adored Karim Sadli’s eyewear campaigns for Chanel. This is no exception. Sadli’s simplicity always works wonders for a brand like Chanel, and his photography style always feels like a breath of fresh air. The casting is superb. Alaato Jazyper serving Grace Jones in James Bond’s A View to a Kill is everything!”

Hedi Slimane (the most talked-about designer in recent weeks) first unveiled Celine Haute Parfumerie to the world back in 2019. The Celine creative director adds another fragrance to the lineup for 2024 with the introduction of Zouzou, inspired by Slimane’s obsession with 1960s youth culture. To coincide with the release of Zouzou, Slimane himself (obvi) goes behind the lens for the accompanying advertising campaign. The French designer who has been at the helm of the storied French fashion Maison since 2018 called upon Esther-Rose McGregor to be the face of the scent, with the British-American actress and daughter of actor Ewan McGregor morphing into icons of the 60s (like Jean Seberg and Tiwggy) in the immaculate and utterly flawless portrait campaign image.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“It’s perfection,” declared yslforever the moment the cover struck.

“I love it!” exclaimed vogue28. “The campaign image itself is great, commands your attention instantly. As per usual, Slimane’s photography is immaculate. The beauty styling is equally as flawless and I love the Twiggy-ness of it all.”

“She looks absolutely gorgeous,” Toni Ahlgren chimed in.

MModa commented: “The result is very polished but I am not loving the photograph.”

Victoria’s Secret may be onto something when enlisting Mikael Jansson to photograph their campaign imagery. The partnership began in 2023 when the Swedish fashion photographer was called upon as the original VS Angels (including Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel) reunited for the Victoria’s Secret Icon campaign. Jansson was rehired to lens the imagery for the American lingerie retailer’s “Body by Victoria” collection and is back once again, this time for the Summer 2024 season. Stylist Emmanuelle Alt joins the team, as we’re whisked off to a tropical destination for a series of sun-soaked images. Gigi Hadid, Paloma Elsesser, Emily Ratajkowski and Tina Kunakey hit the beach and roam the surrounding areas throughout the campaign, ultimately making us want to book a summer getaway stat.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Nice AI,” stated Toni Ahlgren the moment the campaign dropped.

“Victoria’s Secret isn’t even trying, That ‘show’ last year sealed their fate. Hopefully the sales are goodbecause their marketing is all over the place,” critiqued Urban Stylin.

Also not best impressed was zoom: “Hope the girls got paid well to wear this cheap, ugly trash. Alt and Jansson should be ashamed.”

“It’s Victoria’s Secret, were people expecting something different?” asked blueorchid. “I’m confused at the disappointment.”

“If someone told me this was content from the next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, I’d believe them,” chimed in tigerrouge.

However, not everyone was left so disappointed. “Given the fact I’m relatively easily pleased, I like this. Mikael Jansson’s photograph of Gigi on her knees in the sand is gorgeous, as is the shot of Emily with the palm leaf. The coloring and Jansson’s lighting are both lovely, and I can definitely spot some of Emmanuelle Alt’s signature styling throughout. A thumbs up from me!” approved vogue28.
