On the Safari – Karmen Pedaru and Simon Nessman play nature lovers for Michael Kors’ spring 2012 campaign. Joined by a tour guide and male model Armando Cabral, the duo soak in the sights with Kors’ safari inspired creations featuring animal prints, satchel bags and tawny jumpsuits styled by Brana Wolf.
I generally like Michael Kors, but safari and especially this safari just isn’t doing for me one bit. And Mario sure didn’t help things here (and I love him most of the time).
HATE that Armando is in the back or cropped out on the side in all these shots. It’s pretty insulting that this collection and campaign is African inspired yet the only person of color is relegated to the background. What a waste of a great model and opportunity for truly stunning ads.
Could not agree with you more! Such a waste of his talents
I usually enjoy Kors ads.
The airbrushing on this is really OTT in a bad way … Karmen’s eyes look terrifying.
This looks a little deja vu. Haven’t we seen this before from Michael Kors? I wish they kept up with the “couple” pairing with at least some chemistry, like Carmen Kass and Noah Mills.
Karmen’s eyes are everything in this. So strong.
Why Armando in the back? he should be the front since this african aspiring ad.
