Review of Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Holiday 2024 Ad Campaign by Creative Director Imruh Asha and Photographer Nicolas Kantor with model Vittoria Ceretti
Chanel unfolds a winter fairytale with its fragrance and beauty campaign for the Holiday 2024 season. The campaign was created in collaboration with creative director Imruh Asha and photographer Nicolas Kantor.
The story centers on a young woman, embodied by Vittoria Ceretti, who lives in a land with no snow, despite her many wishes for a white winter. Eventually, however, her wish comes true, and the film unfolds into a stunning cinematic moment that combines digital editing and human choreography to take us inside the gorgeous dance of a snowflake. A winter storm finally descends on her world, which takes on the aspect of a miniature town inside a snow globe.
As this is a beauty campaign, the beauty looks more than matter, and makeup artist Valentina Li rises to the occasion, using touches of gold to cohere with the campaign and product color palette, or, on the other hand, creating striking contrast and seeing Ceretti as a flower blooming against the snow with a deep red lip and rosy eye shadow.
The campaign succeeds by tapping into a holiday tradition of storytelling and bringing this warm narrative to life through excellently executed visuals. Like that miniature town inside a snow globe, Chanel has managed to fit a world of winter magic into a 30-second ad spot.
