Last month shortly after Chanel showed its Cruise 2011/12 collection, I posted images of Karl Lagerfeld shooting images for the press kit. Those images – also used for the Chanel Cruise 2011/12 ad campaign – have now surfaced online. The ads are shot in black and white in a studio setting and they feature Karl’s “it boy” Baptiste Giabiconi and Saskia de Brauw. The photos are a bit plain but I suppose they highlight the clothing and jewels since there is nothing else in the photo to distract you. I have to admit that I don’t get why Saskia de Brauw was cast for this campaign. She seems a bit plain to me. What do you think of the photos?
