Ouch

Posted by Robin on 3 February 2011 8 Comments

Model Eva Herzigová for Givenchy Hot Couture, way back when in 2000. The concept was "a provocative take on Givenchy's eccentric fashion" under then creative director Alexander McQueen. McQueen was replaced by Julien Macdonald the following year.

    To me it’s more cute than provocative! I like it. I can’t believe that’s 11 years ago already!

      It isn’t provocative, and I should clarify that McQueen, so far as I know, had nothing to do with the actual commercial — the scent & advertising was just supposedly inspired by his fashion.

    Hm. Nothing much interesting about this ad, but I must say I do like this fragrance quite a bit.

      It’s not really interesting, but I found it nicely done in the visual sense…they did a good job with the hands theme & the pins, and I liked the humor. Most fragrance ads are so dismally bad that I’m very easy to please, LOL…

    Kind of whimsical. I noticed that she objected to supposedly being stuck by a pin, but not to the pair of hands on the underside of her breasts.
    Sorry, I guess I have my snark-o-meter turned up too high.

      She’s a model, so likely not modest about such things :-)

    Eva is my dream woman!!!!!!!
    Still can’t believe she married (and divorced) the Bon Jovi drummer.
    11 years already – now I feel old ;(

      Did she? I don’t even know who Bon Jovi’s drummer is. I will have to google.
