Diane Von Furstendburg took some flack for the s/s '08 campaign, which featured Natalia Vodianova shot and illustrated by French photog François-Marie Banier. The illustrations and vibrant hues obstruct what should be the main focus of the ad- the clothes. Personally, I think it is the artistry that really commands the attention of the viewer and adds an element of intrigue. Plus, anyone familiar with the DVF aesthetic knows bright color and bold prints are always incorporated into her designs.

I completely agree with you. When did fashion become so defined? I say eff convention and make art! Plus it got people talking right?

Thats an interesting one...but soo often you come across photo shoots that have an artistic spin on them and they end up being blurred or something and the clothes are very hard to see.
At least this is something different and a real work of art.
I believe that an ad is supposed to represent some sort of a lifestyle that we're trying to buy into. Whether it's clothes, cars, or anything else.
