I think it's a great way to shoot a campaign ... and the result is not too shabby!

nastassia Natalia's thread is not a proper image credit. You must credit the original source that the images came from.

TIA

In fact the last two pics are the same which are in the first post of this thread, so the source is WWD too (maybe you could delete them ?)

These are stunning! I love Natalia & the way all the colours & writing are layered...it's all very emotional to me. I think they really have succeeded in bringing to life the vision DVF has for the brand. Thank you so much for scanning these Faith

I could not agree any more! These ads are soo full of creativity and emotion I can't help but be more invested in DVF.

I agree that it isn't like the other eds of the season. Very interesting, very post modern.

Diane von Furstenberg's collaboration with artist François-Marie Banier and model Natalia Vodianova for her ad campaign is making its debut in select March magazine issues. Those wanting a peek into the creation of the images, which combine photography, painting and words, can do that from today on dvf.com. The designer's official site will offer a link to an online art gallery, which presents images from the campaign, as well as information on the making of the project, including Banier's artistic process, and biographies of the artist and Vodianova. In addition, there is a five-minute-long video clip documenting the project, which evokes the mood of the photos.

Von Furstenberg is likely to build on the concept of an online art gallery for future initiatives. "I loved the idea of telling the story in an online art gallery," she said. "It shares the experience as an insider and preserves the integrity of the project....The film and the images reflect the story beautifully and show the emotion."
