London Fog "Gisele"

Leaders from Glossier, Shopify, Mastercard and more will take the stage at Brandweek to share what strategies set them apart and how they incorporate the most valued emerging trends. Register to join us this September 23–26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Gisele Bundchen’s angular face and leggy frame feature prominently in this London Fog print push. But rather than imbue the brand with some personality or heat, the approach has the opposite effect. Yes, Gisele is lovely. Still, the come-hither stare feels artificial and insincere, as if the shoot couldn’t end soon enough for its star. Those robotic poses and by-the-numbers glimpses of skin just seem gratuitous. The whole enterprise is clichéd (she’s naked under that raincoat — how novel!) and drained of life.
