The International Herald Tribune has announced that Claudia Schiffer will join the lineup of high-profile speakers at its annual luxury conference.

Titled “Techno Luxury”, the conference will take place at Berlin’s Ritz-Carlton, On November 17 and 18, 2009.

The program will focus on how the technology and other marketing innovations can offer new creative direction and business opportunities for luxury goods.

Made up of five scents, The new D&G Fragrance Anthology is set to launch globally in September.

The five fragrances are inspired by different tarot cards, each with a distinct identity and represented by a different model, some of them iconic and all of them naked in the advertising.

Gabbana and Dolce aimed to capture different sides to their personalities in the five fragrances, and gave them names referencing tarot cards and their corresponding numbers.

Claudia Schiffer is back in the spotlight; the German model has been named the face of Yves Saint Laurent and we’re thrilled with the new ads.

The Spring/Summer 09 ad campaign was beautifully shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin under the creative direction of Stefano Pilati.

The stunning shot is the first of the campaign to be released, and will feature on the cover of YSL’s must-have Manifesto newspaper, now in its fourth season, which will be distributed on Valentine’s Day next year.

The French luxury brand placed a four minute “discover the making of” video on their site including interviews with Marc Jacobs, Stephanie Seymour and Naomi Campbell.

The gorgeous ads, that were shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in 2007, feature supermodels Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Stephanie Seymour, Claudia Schiffer, Angela Lindvall and Natalia Vodianova in colourful Louis Vuitton creations on exciting cars, exemplifying the glossy and glamorous Vuitton woman.

The campaign, conceived in collaboration with Richard Prince, has a night-time feel and combines, according to Marc Jacobs, the concept “ hot chicks and cars”!
