Julia Nobis Fronts a Beautiful But Colourless Campaign for Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2013

The campaign, like the collection, has been getting mixed reviews. Over in the forums Slimane’s refusal to shoot in anything other than black and white has been the main criticism, while his choice of model hasn’t been copping quite so much flack.  

Julia’s bedraggled blonde hair and unperturbed demeanor are perfect for the via-LA route Slimane is moving the label in. She also moves effortlessly between the collection’s two personalities, sequin-clad seductress and moody androgyne, with a little wild, wild west thrown in for good measure. The ruffles and oversized pussybows are almost as OTT as the much-circulated open letter Slimane addressed to Cathy Horyn on Twitter, yet come across better in the campaign than they did on the catwalk.
