Naked Beauty: Natalia Vodianova Ad For Guerlain Shalimar

The new ad campaign for Guerlain Shalimar features beauty Natalia Vodianova. Natalia’s innocent sensuality in combination with the French chic brand delivers a beautiful ad. The short clip was shot by famous fashion photographer Pablo Roversi. In 1999, Pablo published his Nudi book, which featured models posing nude and transformed into “angels and figures of light; they [the models] are subtle and vulnerable mystical icons filled with erotic energy. The reader [of the book] is faced with sensuous beauty, and the magic of the human body.” This completely captures the mood of the Guerlain ad also; sensuous beauty, the magic of the naked body, and the addictive scent of French luxury.

Natalia Vodianova for Guerlain Shalimar

Natalia Vodianova had great things to say about her experience with the photographers. “Paolo Roversi is really Italian and makes you feel so beautiful. Mario Testino has that incredible talent of making not only you but everyone around you feel very special. Steven Meisel is so organized and focused, and he always thinks about you as a person and makes sure you’re comfortable. Patrick Demarchelier is like a big teddy bear, and a really nice person. And Bruce Weber is like Father Christmas–he never forgets about you. He’s very generous.”
