I think i read somewhere that aunty karla's obssession with mr kroenig is due to his resemblance to the love of madam's life, a certain playboy aristocrat who died of aids in the 80s. I actually prefer beloved baptiste of the two, even though the latter is also turning out to be bland.Daniel Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177637203724062390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156867803451235282.post-74475631454161105132010-08-23T07:00:28.417-07:002010-08-23T07:00:28.417-07:00sorry i meant Brad Kroenig. my bad...:(sorry i meant Brad <i>Kroenig</i>. my bad...:(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156867803451235282.post-56778690082430298482010-08-23T06:57:30.787-07:002010-08-23T06:57:30.787-07:00thank you for pointing out aunty karla's obses...thank you for pointing out aunty karla's obsession with americana; that makes so much sense in view of his photographic work.<br /><br />Speaking of the US of A, maybe it's time for him to resurrect Mr Brad Koenig, the quintessential blandly handsome mid-western white boy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156867803451235282.post-17489318176665762212010-08-22T18:28:36.748-07:002010-08-22T18:28:36.748-07:00Dear Rossie: Glad you like this post!

Fendi: Yes, it's a very literal approach to the paintings, especially as you highlighted, with the colours and the textures - ie brick wall and green suitcase, especially the green, and you can see Karla's beloved baptiste's back clad in the black vest and white shirt actually appears in a lot of the paintings.<br />Mert & Marcus: I like that,Daniel Gohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177637203724062390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156867803451235282.post-81072164703307518232010-08-22T11:34:32.277-07:002010-08-22T11:34:32.277-07:00for aunty karla: Hopper definitely; but i also see...for aunty karla: Hopper definitely; but i also see a bit of Magritte, esp. the 2nd pic, where she sits, with legs crossed. something abt that very quiet, still air/ambience in an interior where the subject seems trapped in an invisible yet inescapable membrane of alienation & existential angst, know what i mean...?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156867803451235282.post-559321977408806562010-08-22T08:22:56.320-07:002010-08-22T08:22:56.320-07:00I agree with Anon!

I like the second fendi ad here - a touch of the brick wall and the green suitcase on the left for contrast. Plus she mirroring the painting on the wall. As a campaign, Mert & Atlas wins. Very nice shots on the shoe plus the bus in the background.
