At least Dior celebrity choices are better than most other brands, in my opinion. I totally disagree with choosing Kristen Stewart for Balenciaga, Blake Lively for Chanel, and Emma Watson for Burberry. There are others but I can't remember who they are at the moment .

Guess she doesn't have love anymore for Uncle Karl...
That you can remember any of these blah girl-next-door-but-one 'celebs' is commendable
ush: and Gucci sued Guess? GGuess I'm obviously not in GGucci's demographic for that eau de toilet (sic)

I wonder if Balenciaga executives feel that they have made a bad decision now that Kristen is in the news for cheating. That's what they get for choosing a hyped up new actress; you get what you pay for
Guess copies Gucci like crazy. They have shoes that look almost like Gucci shoes, except in stead of GG monogram you get the ugly Guess one.
Guess deserves to be sued.
Balenciaga used to be so cool. Arty, unusual and intellectual - (words I can't use to describe many Hollywood actresses) What happened to the brand? (no need to answer ).
Whatever models are really like, their job along with the team is to create illusion and let the onlooker suppose themselves in their place whereas these actress/rent-girls are just 'solid', to me they look uncomfortable with glamour.
I loathe this visual.Well said! Actually, the Balenciaga Florabotanica ad is one of the corniest high-end ads I've ever seen. Looks like a high school cut-and-paste collage with a random picture of Kristen Stewart. And she looks so stiff and uncomfortable in her pose that it almost makes you think that the clothes are too rigid and stiff, which is not the case.

Yeah that's the word that sums up what I feel, too! I can't believe that the executives at Balenciaga approved this ad for publication.
Not that I am a fan of Charlotte Gainsbourg but the previous campaign for the Balenciaga Paris fragrance was at least quite elegant. This mish-mash disaster of a visual on the other hand evokes Ed Hardy or Baby Phat. Or Sarah Jessica Parker's tragic NYC fragrance:I agree, it's all over the place, like averagejoe says, it just seems like a high school (i'd say kindergarten!) cut and paste project, it doesn't make sense and nothing comes together. The bottle itself doesn't appeal to me either. I can see how it's meant to be tied in with their striped black and white motorcycle bag, but still........

The Ed Hardy fragrance that I bought was a mistake, even though I like the brand, can't remember which one it was but it smells too sweet (I prefer a subtle sweet floral like the Miss Dior Cherie) and there was too much going on. the NYC fragrance by SJP looks like a jungle....wasn't that supposed to be part of the theme?

OMG, graphically challenged before a lid is even lifted -
Reaching for my my Terre d'H and my last bottles of Gucci Rush and A McQ's KINGDOM (BF hates it but...). What to do when all the gorgeousness is gone?
