I love Emanuela de Paula and Francisco Gassen, and I loved Osklen's spring show inspired by Carnival in Rio, but I am sort of disappointed with the new ad campaign which is already in Brazilian publications. I get it that it is unexpected and fresh to do a minimalist ad campaign when the inspiration for the collection was Carnival and sequins, but it just didn't work here (well, unless the actual goal was to make  the super sexy Emanuela look as plain as possible). It's Carnival on valium.
