Berry Versace

Posted by Michele Obi on Thursday, 5 January 20062 Comments

We were promised a “visual success” when Halle Berry signed up to be the face of Versace and boy did they deliver.

Photographed by Mario Testino in LA for the spring/summer 2006 ads, Halle took a day off from filming X-men 3 for the shoot which lasted 20 hours. Versace said of Halle,

“Halle represents everything that is great about this collection – someone who loves colour, has a real sensuality, who is strong yet feminine and who is a real woman who has lived. For me she is easier to relate to and more relevant than a model and of course she looks simply beautiful in the clothes. Furthermore I have known Halle for many years and have always admired her determination and her professionalism.”

In between editing, freelancing and spending most of her time on the internet, she also finds time to shop (too much) and obsess over shoes. She loves sushi and counts Matthew Williamson, John Galliano, Valentino and Hussein Chalayan as her favourite designers. Her biggest regret - never seeing Prince in concert!

Ok, I was completely sceptical about this after the Madonna and Demi Moore campaigns (sorry but not a fan of either - IMO they’re both a bit beyond it and the ads were tacky) but they’ve shot this really well - it’s actually a fantastic photo and the classic white far beats the gaudiness of some of their other ads.
Pleasantly suprised!

Yes, I completely agree with you on that one Tania. Halley Berry, wow! I really dont think I have seen her look better, she’s so strong, sexy, and yet elegant because shes Halley Berry. This photo sends a great message of dominance.
