I would like to share the Spring/Summer 1999 Ad Campaign of the clothing label, Yves Saint Laurent (YSL), because it can serve as an example of how art can be an inspiration and an influence for fashion as well as advertising. This ad campaign is now part of the archives of the brand and is now considered a classic.
The ones on the left are the photos of the ad campaign shot by photographer, Mario Sorrenti and the ones on the right are the iconic paintings that served as the inspiration for the photos of the ad campaign.
