Interesting, especially the Valentino/Versace one.

ps Valentino S/S 07 is by Mert & Marcus

Speaking of mert and marcus they seem to have been ripped off many times by camilla akrans.

its a little too much to ignore and since the mert and marcus pictures were published first...

 

[mikel]

ande Mert and Marcus are constantly ripping of Bourdin, Meisel, Newton, Ritts, Man Ray, Lindbergh...

 

[BerlinRocks]

Bourdin, Meisel, Newton, Ritts, Man Ray, Lindbergh...

Meisel, I don't think so... and def. not Lindbergh!!!
but the rest = of course!!! these are influences for ever!!!! esp. since 2000s

^The totally ripped of Madonna's SEX photos for the Courtney Love POP story.

And their Armani Jeans ads with Agyness looked so much like some of Lindberghs work!

 

[metal-on-metal]

Meisel, I don't think so...

No, they rip off everyone under the sun, including Meisel quite often.

 

[mikel]

^Thank you

Ive never really noticed similarities with meisel or lindbergh, but i'd love to see some pics. As for Newton, Bourdin, Man Ray, Ritts those dont really bother me because they're not working anymore. Also Ive never see a mert and marcus photograph and thought it was meisel or lindbergh whereas i often think camilla's photographs have been done by mert and marcus. Maybe its just me. Im vey young andperhaps you guys have just seen more than I have.

Mert & Marcus's work isn't very inspired to begin with- it isn't that new or fresh, none of it.

I agree

 

[Joseph26]

the real "inpiration" of the Versace Ads by Meisel are the Revlon ones from the 80's by Avedon.

Versace 2004 by Meisel

Revlon 1988 by Avedon

 

[Joseph26]

Herbert List 1940's and Gucci ad 1990's, probably by Testino
