Reeeeaaaallly now, L'Oreal?
I remember this stunning image of the thinspirational Olga Sherer from the November 2007 (Vogue Montres) issue of Vogue Paris.
Fast forward to the February 2010 issue of Vogue Italia comes an ad from L'Oreal.
Everything's photoshopped these days anyway so the question is, do you think it's Olga Sherer on that image, photoshopped to make her a wee bit plumper or no? What say you?
Just wondering…
Are you saying the original ad was a good thing?? Uh.. that girl looked like a skeletor. When there’s a skull involved, don’t use words like “thinspiration”. Sounds pro-ana or something distasteful like that.

Wow, you’re good to remember this photo! Now, I see all the more the difference between a photoshoped photo and another that is not…look at the hair! I think it’s a different model but definitely the same concept. :)
I think it’s just a photo inspired by the original, but then again, Photoshop is pretty incredible it definitely is possible that it’s the same one!

No, it’s not Olga…the hair is different, arms are different too…definitely another person!
Kisses and have a nice weekend.

History repeats itself.
The first pictures is definitely better!
i don’t think so, the hair is on the wrong side and it’s not even in the same shape. Plus why would they want to make her “fatter”?
eittt!!! i love your blog!!!
letme tell you, the photo seems a full copy!!!
I remember this too! L’oreal has some great marketing campaigns over the years.
Eek… where’s the creativity??

It looks to me as if they recycled the concept, rather than used the original image. The original image is a better photograph: it has been less doctored and is more natural, moving (imvho).
Most likely, both are recycling an image by Man Ray where the model is holding an African mask in front of her face. I just cannot find it. & at any rate, Man Ray was probably recycling something else himself!

like cathy said, probably paying homage to the image – plumper, flowers instead of a skull to symbolize the silkier, healthy hair. good spotting, l’oreal was probably waiting for the special person like you to notice the resemblance!
Plagiarism indeed :)
i think they could have been paying homage to the image the hair is definitely silkier looking
It’s not the same model, number one is way more skinny, has a different hair line, color
Hahaha, great catch! This is what makes you different than others!
It is not her but the smell of plagiarism is really strong!
its not Olga, still I can’t help but notice the concept was recycled… not original. BB that’s quite remarkable for you to notice this after a 3 year gap. You indeed live and breathe fashion(or I think its really VOGUE)
Not her! Different hair line (and color?).
