Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Fragrance Ads

[iluvjeisa]

The vintage YSL ads certainly deserve their own threads.

Starting with a fragrance ad featuring the designer. From 1974.

And the classic smashed mirror ad from 1978.

Scanned by me

Thanks for scanning!

I find it interesting how much he was featured in their advertising, you don't see a lot of that these days. Kind of love the fact that the bottle is half full as well

^Yes, that's one of those "imperfect" details that make 70s advertisements especially beautiful....

This is Ing Marie Lamy, 1974. Scanned by me.

I have such fond memories of seeing the Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma advertising campaign splashed across department stores and inside magazines way back when. I always thought the image itself (the dress!) and the accompanying commercial was so unbelievably expensive looking and super super chic!
