Diane von Furstenberg DVF Artsy Bold Painterly Fashion Print Ad 2009 2000s

Diane von Furstenberg turns a black-and-white portrait into a canvas in this 2009 ad, with slashes of hot pink, orange and purple paint breaking across a model's windswept face. The message is that the DVF woman is expressive, free-spirited and a little unruly. Mixing photography with hand-painted gestures was a favorite trick of 2000s fashion campaigns that wanted to feel like art. Collectors who love fashion as visual culture will want this one.
