It seems to me that Christy Turlington is one of the hardest working models in the fashion world right now. Just as her Bally fall 09 commercial is revealed, we’re already seeing her face again in ads for another label.
While Turlington might be the perfect Bally woman, she’s also glamming it up for Yves Saint Laurent. Following previous rumors alluding to the collaboration, the 40-year old supermodel stars in YSL’s fall/winter advertising campaign for 2009-2010.
One of the things I love about the ads, besides the gorgeous bags and clothes the model showcases, is the sleek style of the set. Forget European landmarks or natural settings, this Stefano Pilati designed campaign features only the label’s items, Christy, and a black logo frame against a white background. The result is striking and dramatic.
Bravo to the major labels who are featuring these experienced, mature (if not impossibly ageless) models from the past. Turlington looks as fabulous as ever here for Yves Saint Laurent and will surely continue to do so for many more years.
