the Fashion Spot - Serge Lutens

**iluvjeisa** · 20-01-2008

Serge Lutens - photographer, perfumer, designer...Most famous, perhaps, for his make-up ads for Dior in the 70s and 80s and his Shiseido ads.

I've heard his name before, not exactly sure what he did...
it's interesting to know he was a multi-task type of artist!

Thanks for creating this thread, ilj!

What's theblitzkids.com? It doesn't work for me...

Sorry, fixed the address

I've got some pix comin from my pursuits of magazine happiness

Here's one from French Elle 1975, editorial by Serge Lutens with , I think, his Dior model. Have to research her name...

A couple of those famous and infamous ads (scanned by me).

**La bordélique** · 20-01-2008

He seemed very praised by the club kids of the past decades

I can see a bit of Pierrot influence in the ads he did, and a makeup style that Pat McGrath still tries to achieve very often on Dior runways...

**iluvjeisa** · 20-01-2008

Yes. And David Bowie, of course, Ashes to Ashes, anyone. Couple of more ads (scanned by me).

Ashes to Ashes - or the Serge Lutens tribute video

Yeah, you're right about that. More from French Elle 1975. This make-up is spookier than usual, even

i love this, the colors and the beautiful "clown" feeling,
it's so elegant and melancholy but with that funny kind of edge.
thank you for this thread ilj!

..and I should also state a disclosure that the photo in my avatar is a shoot I styled that was partly inspired by the work of Mr. Lutens
