If you ask me which one is my favorite fashion ad campaign I will swiftly answer you - it's definetely Christian Dior's experiment in 1959, when head designer of the house - Yves Saint Laurent make a quite extraordinary decision and send his models to Soviet Russia. As you know there was no fashion in Soviet Union (including my homeland - Georgia!) at this time, so french models dressed in luxurious clothing by Dior caused culture shock! French divas walked in the streets of Moscow and you can enjoy surprised faces of pedestrians in the photos, that were published in LIFE magazine.
