New Ad Pays Tribute To Yves Saint Laurent

Former Girls frontman, Christopher Owens, is the subject of Hedi Slimane's new Saint Laurent advertisement. Hedi, who took over YSL several months ago, pays homage to the brand's 1971 nude fragrance ad, which featured the original couturier.

It's not the first time a brand has paid tribute to the designer. David Gandy was the subject of Dolce & Gabbana's eyewear ad.
