The Models Direct team have just checked out Diane von Furstenberg newly unveiled spring ad campaign and were surprised to see a completely faceless model.

Shot by Camilla Akrans, apparently the ads are inspired by the surrealists, whose work typically featured the element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions and non sequitur.

This ad’s tag line “Be The Woman You Want To Be…”, however, seems to make perfect sense and as the model’s face is covered with a mirror, it makes us think the designer wants us to see ourselves in the image – wearing her dress of course!

Von Furstenberg told trade journal WWD: “I like that you can see yourself in these images. This time for me is all about new beginnings.”

The fact that the model has been transformed into an object mystery most certainly channels the surrealism movement, and makes this ad not only one of the more visually striking images we’ve seen this season, but also one of the most thought provoking.

Let Models Direct know what your thoughts are on the ad – would you be happy to pose faceless?
