Arizona Muse Plays Peekaboo Behind Palm Trees in Yves Saint Laurent's Spring '11 Video Campaign

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 09:09:40 PDT

Print ads are great, but there's something about videos that take campaigns to the next level of fashion greatness. And that's exactly what Stefano Pilati did, along with Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, for Yves Saint Laurent's Spring collection. Like the hard copy, the scene took place in the gardens of a 1930s villa in Marrakech's Palmeraie resort, reminding us of Yves Saint Laurent's love for Morocco. Inez and Vinoodh beautifully captured video shows Arizona fading in and out of palm trees all while wearing exquisitely cut gowns and jumpsuits from the collection. A fine four minutes you don't want to miss - check out the video now!

Fab Ad: Dree Hemingway For Gianfranco Ferre, Spring '10

FabSugar — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 13:00:22 PST

We were fascinated a while ago - we still are - but so are Gianfranco Ferré designers Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi. The design duo chose the famous great-granddaughter to model their dramatic Spring collection. “We know she’s very trendy right now, but she really reflects the feminine and sensual message of the spring collection,” said Aquilano. Also look out for Hemingway in Mango's Spring ads, alongside Scarlett Johansson.

Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin snapped the sepia-toned black-and-white scene in a New York studio. The graphic cross-shaped structure provides cool contrast to the flowing fabrics. Dree looks pretty fantastic, as do the clothes. Are you smitten?

Who needs stagnant models when you can have them in fabulous motion? "I thought maybe we need a bit of action," said Alber Elbaz about his Spring '10 ads. And action he delivered. Steven Meisel shot, while model Jamie Bochert bent. In the men's department, Elbaz had married couple photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin get in front of the lens for a passionate kiss. What do you think of the latest Lanvin?

Fab Ad: Giuseppe Zanotti Spring '09

FabSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 04:00:22 PST

Deee-lish. It takes a bold gesture for a fashion ad to stop me flipping. I always love a '50s throwback to the swell days of muscle cars and poodle skirts. Would you have been a Rizzo or a Sandra Dee? In the Spring Giuseppe Zanotti ads, shot by Inez & Vinoodh, model Anja Rubki is a bit of both, and, therefore, deee-lish. I love the simplicity and candy colors. And, I can always be enticed with an ice cream sundae. The shoes, as always, are delectable. Rizzo Dee's uniform of sequin mini and tee is also a fun look to mimic when you're feeling frisky. So tell me: do you feel frisky?

Fab Ad: Yves Saint Laurent Spring '09

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 13:00:22 PST

When we found out Claudia Schiffer was Stefano Pilati's Spring muse, we were pretty sure the outcome was going to be Fab. See for yourself.

Shot in LA, right smack in front of the Hollywood sign "Y," it is stunning. Though you can barely recognize Claudia's face - it's more just a statuesque blonde in a long and lean navy ensemble - you can tell it's a pro in YSL garb. And notice how the silver grid shoes tie in with the black grid structure. Shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, this image will also serve as the cover of YSL's next manifesto. Behold: Spring YSL.
