Talbots Part Deux

Linda Evangelista for Talbots A/W 2010-11, ph. Mert & Marcus

We at LEvangelista.net are thrilled to announce that we've received another ad (sans Talbots logo) from Linda's new campaign with Talbots. In this photo, Linda gets an opportunity to show off her skills by giving us a shot that highlights her understanding of body lines. I'm actually enjoying this photo even more than the first ad with the hat and leapard print coat. Which is your favorite? Click HERE to see this ad in larger format.

Linda Evangelista, Mert & Marcus Take on Talbots

Linda Evangelista for Talbots A/W 2010-11, ph. Mert & Marcus

Linda's back! After a busy year in 2009, La Linda stepped back a bit from the spotlight (ongoing L'Oreal Paris contract aside) for the first half of 2010 and is now front and center in Talbot's Fall/Winter 2010-11 ad campaign. Talbots? Yes, Talbots. The formerly stodgy retailer has rebranded itself, and in the process has emerged looking mighty fine and refined. And this is no half-hearted effort; Talbots has pulled out all the stops by booking the iconic supermodel along with Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, currently the hottest photography duo on the planet. This marks the second time that Linda has worked with Mert & Marcus, the first collaboration with the acclaimed duo being an editorial for French Numero back in October of 2001. The campaign was shot over a two-day period at Jack Studios in the heart of New York's Chelsea Gallery District. As told to Stylelist by Talbots chief marketing officer, Lori Wagner, regarding Linda: "There was no B.S., no drama. She's on time, she's on set, and was pure perfection. Every single frame had a different expression."

Upon first impression of the first released ad (above), the staff at LEvangelista.net felt the ad had sort of a Polaroid touch and feel, reminiscent of Linda's memorable 1990 Spring/Summer Lanvin campaign photographed by Paolo Roversi. Simple, yet undeniably beautiful and elegant. Definitely a bold and dramatic move on the part of Talbots. What do you think?
