New Marc Jacobs' ad campaign, Oh sorry it's Céline actually


Have you seen Céline's new Fall/Winter 10 ads' campaign? It looks like a Marc Jacob's campaign. How can a company like Céline make such a mistake?

I totally imagine the argument between the marketing team and celebrity photographer Juergen Teller who, yes madam, shot the ads:
- Marketing Manager: "I am sorry Juergen but it looks like an ad from our neighbour Marc Jacobs (both companies belong to LVMH)!"
- Juergen: " Well, I am sorry, I am an artist and that's my style..."

Anyway, this lack of creativity is really depressing... It might be time for these fashion houses to hire younger and emerging photographers to get a bit of a fresh air.
