Yves Saint Laurent

Claudia Schiffer has posed for the new Salvatore Ferragmo ad campaign! One of the shots features the supermodel beside a pool in heels and a purple dress and showing off her long lean legs. Look out for Schiffer in the Spring 2009 campaign for Yves Saint Laurent and also keep an eye out for updates on her upcoming beauty range.

It all started with one question: "Firstly, I want to ask you about sex." interviewer Colin McDowell asked.

"For me, the main factor is the seduction factor. I want to look at a woman and feel seduced. I never touch the idea of sex," he insisted. "Sex one of the most complicated things; it's too subjective. And if you have subjectivity, you have to balance it out - with your skills, your knowledge, the values of your brand. Sex for me is personal." said Stefano. "I want to sell clothes," he said to the audience. "There's no red carpet or cover that's going to fascinate me more than seeing them on a real woman." he added further.

Naomi Campbell has been replaced by Claudia Schiffer in Yves Saint Laurent's spring 2009 campaign. Schiffer recently said at a party that Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadib shot the campaign in L.A. last month. Hopefully Naomi respects the decision and doesn't have one of her infamous temper tantrums!

Yves Saint Laurent's art collection is going under the hammer in February and is estimated to be worth up to $440 million. His former business partner and companion, Pierre Berge, said he had no regrets about the decision to sell: "Yves Saint Laurent is dead. This collection doesn't mean anything anymore.

Yves Saint Laurent died today in Paris at the age of 71. His close friend, Pierre Berge, confirmed his passing and would only say he died this evening after a long illness.
