Note from WWD
"...The Valentino campaign also plays with camera angles. Photographed for the first time by Michael Thompson, with art direction by Alex Gonzalez and Raul Martinez, the entire campaign was shot from above. The images feature Danielle Zinaich and John Pearson lying back, looking up, separately and together.
The Very Valentino campaign is product-driven, has more of a commercial feel and features models Aurelie and Elsa and Thom Gwin.
Valentino, which has been acquired by the Fiat group investment company HdP, which also controls designer apparel maker GFT, said it would increase its advertising budget 35 percent for the spring/summer '98 season. The media buy will be concentrated in the U.S. and Italy, and will focus on daily newspapers with large, double-spread formats and prime positions where possible."
