Does any one know how that was shot with out chairs or if they were airbrushed out?
I love that ad too
Here is an article on the ad being banned in France:
Paris - France's Catholic Church won an injunction from the courts on Thursday to ban an advertisement poster for a leading fashion house based on Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting of Christ's Last Supper.
The advertisement - for Marithe and Francois Girbaud - shows designer-clad women in the place of Jesus and the apostles, one of them with her arms around a half-naked man in jeans.
Judge Jean-Claude Magendie ruled that display of the advertisements on street hoardings was "a gratuitous and aggressive act of intrusion on people's innermost beliefs".
"The offence done to Catholics far outweighs the desired commercial goal," he said.
He ordered that all posters on display should be taken down within three days.
The association, Belief and Liberties, which represented the church, was also awarded costs.
Earlier, the association's lawyer, Thierry Massis, told the court the advertisement was deeply hurtful to Catholics.
"When you trivialise the founding acts of a religion, when you touch on sacred things, you create an unbearable moral violence which is a danger to our children. Tomorrow, Christ on the cross will be selling socks," he said.
But lawyers for Girbaud argued that to prohibit the image would be an act of censorship.
"The work is a photograph based on a painting, not on the Bible," said the company's lawyer Bernard Cahen.
"There is nothing in it that is offensive to the Catholic religion.
"It is a way of showing the place of women in society today, which is a reflection of our changing values."
Three years ago, the Catholic Church reacted with anger to a poster for the film, Amen, by Constantin Costa-Gavras, which showed a cross whose branches turned into Nazi swastikas. However, it did not launch court action. In 1998, the church complained about a campaign for Volkswagen which also used Leonardo's Last Supper with the slogan: "Rejoice for a new Golf is born."

I remember there was someone somewhere who were asking for these Prada ads, I think they're beautiful and the photographer is Cedric Buchet, there are more pictures here.

I LOVE the Gucci ad you posted pussylee . . . the whole campaign with Mini Anden and Caroline Ribiero was one of my favorites and I've had different pics from it up on my walls in the past three years of college dorms
I also like Frankie Rayder a lot and that makes her J. Mendel Legend ad campaign a favorite for me as well . . . I like the contrast of the fur at the beach.
There is also a similar one with Carmen Kass
Here are the Frankie ads:
