If you look closely, model Raquel Zimmermann is in there. After witnessing McQueen's future primitive Spring show, it's no surprise the ad campaign elicits a few "wows." Shot by Nick Knight — who also filmed McQueen's webcast runway show — ophidiophobics beware. The slithery, slidey pool of snakes gives way to McQueen's sadistic shoes. Underneath it all: a reptilian, rainbow print bodysuit. Genius or gross?

i'm torn on this one. It's beautiful artistically but the snakes are pretty gross, and furthermore you can't see the clothes at all. I give it A for art and D for fashion ad.
1Agreed, it's not much of a fashion ad. The snakes completely overshadow the clothing. However, it is a gorgeous artistic photo. It's a shame that there aren't more daringly fabulous ads and photos out there...
2It's beautiful but I'll agree with the comments that it is difficult to distinguish the clothing.
3Wow, that´s all I can say.
4Beautifully done, very artistic! But, eek, I would not want to be that model- I would have freaked.
5I hope she got paid a ton of money. So gross.
6i got ur back "silver"...it's grossss
7It took me a minute to find the model in the picture - really cool and artistic concept. Snakes are beautiful creatures.
8I want to see these shoes in real life.
9Man, how I hate those shoes. It's a cool pic, but doesn't sell the merch.
10Great work in photoshop I assume, can't look at the ad for more than a second HUGE fear of snakes
11I voted magnificent, because it's a very artistic photo and somehow I can't tear my eyes away from it despite how morbid it is (and yes, I hate snakes).
However...looking more closely, I see tons of little snakes everywhere! Especially around her hand. That definitely pushes it over more into the disgusting category. It just reminds me of worms and those are even worse than snakes. The combination...*shudder*
12piece of art!but not a piece of fashion.
13I think it's too extreme to go from "simply fascinating" to "simply disgusting." I'm somewhere in between. The colors are great, but all I see are snakes which out of all of God's creations, creep me out the most. YUCK.
14It's a great concept, love the snakes, the ad is fab.
15But I can't get over the snake skin used for the shoes.
This ad is fantastic, both in the artistic sense and also in the intelligence factor; it highlights the irony of how animals and the natural world inspire fashion, yet it's only through nature's destruction that we fashion capitalises on it (snake-skin shoes surrounded by real life snakes)
16I think this is amazing. More stomach-churning than the snakes are those disgusting shoes. Fun fun fun.
17i dislike this ad and how could u even walk in those shoes they just look painful
18I like the ad; at least it's something different, and it gets your attention. I still hate those shoes, however.
19Totally amazing. It's a high fashion advert so, We don't need to see the clothes... because chances are if you're seeing these adverts in a magazine then you already saw the runway show (be it video or stills) because you love fashion. This is what a high fashion advert needs to be. It grabs ours attention and gets us remembering what the runway show looked like.
20and yes I want those shoes more than anything.
Wow that's insane!! Amazing photography!!
21I almost didn't see there was a girl in there.
