| Seduced by Vibrance... or by Feminine Beauty? |
I have been, for days now, posting about the brunette bombshell featured in David Yurman's Spring-Summer 2013 campaign, knowing not who she is. Well, yesterday that all changed with the posting of a tagged Instagram. It turns out the face of DY's latest campaign is none other than Catrinel Menghia, the twenty-seven-year-old Romanian fashion model known best for her work for Giorgio Armani and Fiat. On Wednesday Menghia made this posting to Instagram in which she acknowledges that the beauty is the campaign is, indeed, herself. (Note the unassuming caption.)

Can you blame a guy, though, for not recognizing the famous face, given the work she's previously done? Heck, Menghia is normally done up to the nines with a focus on her body as opposed to her equally-gorgeous face. Yurman has done with her what the company did with Bundchen and has stripped away the Photoshopped veneer through which the the world typically sees the woman. What is present in the shots is not a plasticky fembot but, rather, a ravishing natural beauty who exudes an aura of vulnerability seldom seen in modern advertising. Cheers to Yurman's creative team for viewing and treating Menghia as it does the company's product--as not an object but, instead, a fantastic work of art.
