Christy Turlington poses for Yves Saint Laurent

Christy Turlington poses for Yves Saint Laurent

Evidently, supermodels from the 90s are making their comeback. After Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer, it is now Christy Turlington who will be the face of Yves Saint Laurent for the autumn-winter 2009/2010 campaign.

The campaign has been produced by Stefano Pilati as artistic director, and photographs by the Dutch duo Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

According to Vogue.fr, other unpublished shots from the campaign will be available for viewing in September in the Manifesto, a journal published each season by YSL for the last ten years.
