Versace’s Sort of New Campaign

Though Donatella brought Daria back to open and close her last show, she’s not totally faithful to her veterans. Versace perfume’s former face Angela Lindvall has been ousted by Lithuanian rising star Edita Vilkeviciute. We point this out not only because we're into Vilkeviciute (French and Italian Vogue editorials, opening/closing Burberry last month), but also because otherwise you wouldn’t be able to tell that Lindvall had been replaced at all. Lindvall and Vilkeviciute share the same sun-kissed coloring and sport nearly identical white halter dresses. But in Donatella’s defense, what’s better than one gorgeous blonde face? Why, a montage of three. Always upping the ante, that one. —Kendall Herbst for www.nymag.com
