What?! No!! Where's Steven? What a disappointment.

But other than that, it's really not a bad campaign.

When I read Ports and Karolina, I thought it was a reunion between Meisel (who used to photograph Ports campaigns) and Kurkova.

you can’t go wrong with her. she’s absolutely stunning. but let’s be honest: this is a glorified lookbook.
Meisel isn’t shooting the campaigns anymore because Karl is not the creative director anymore.

Is this the official one and not a lookbook? I don't spot their huge logo as usual.

Mediocre VP ed at best

This must be a lookbook.

I'm pretty sure all signs are pointing to the Ports 1961 reboot being a major flop. Since Karl's change of role last December the runway shows seem to have stopped and I'm sure the Meisel campaigns will come to an end...

I'm a KT stan for life, but I'm not mad. Unfortunately not every stylist is made for bigger roles (we see it with Edward as well let's be honest) and I would rather see him clocking the odd editorial and campaign job. Plus he's literally driving Zara forward ATM anyway.

Karl is no longer the CD?

Karolina Spakowski is definitely the breakout star of the season

She is really stunning! She is a mix from an androgynos model and a beauty model. Very outshining. She has so many expressions. Wow.
Absolutly in love with her. I dont know whom I like more, her or Ida Heiner
But indeed that looks more like a lookbook than a campaign. But she is doing a good job. Cant wait to see her in more fashion editorials.

That last red dress is so good!

Massively disappointed there's no Steven Meisel for us this season. Yet despite approving of both Karolina Spakowksi and David Sims, the end result here leaves a whole lot to be desired. It's all just so... flat, lifeless and pedestrian. There's more compelling imagery up on Zara's website as I type!
