The new Guess by Marciano Spring 2009 ad campaign depicts the age-old cliche of an attractive female walking down the street in beautiful clothes, causing a commotion among the guys.

The ads have a retro vibe with [iconic automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture) and old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millennial-rebrand) screen siren styling. I have to say that the old Hollywood glamor concept has been so overused recently, but somehow this campaign presents a fresh take.

The campaign was shot by Matthias Vriens with art direction by Paul Marciano and features models Judith Bedard and Jon Kortajarena among others.

On a side note, it’s nice to see model Kortajarena putting all that [foot fetish vibe](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-jon-kortajarena-spring-summer-2009-ad) behind and going for a more ‘innocent’ persona in this campaign.
