Fashion Meets Art – Nordstrom Spring 08 Ads
For their Spring 2008 Ads, Nordstrom has teamed up with artist Ruben Toledo who painted 20-by-30 foot walls to serve as a backdrop for the models which were shot by fashion photographer Ruven Afanador. Toledo even painted ON the models for the campaign. The result is an artistic and stylish eye-candy.
“It’s one thing to say that fashion and art go together and to show it by putting a model in an art gallery. We knew we didn’t want to do that and we knew Ruben’s artwork needed to be more than just a backdrop. Instead, what Ruben and Ruven came up with truly fused art and photography. The art became the environment–transcending the very idea of a backdrop. The result truly exceeded our expectations.” said Linda Finn, executive vice president of marketing at Nordstrom

I truely love Ruben’s style. I was just querying artist Nordstroms and it appears I am not the only person who noticed this find artist whose work is remininsent of a young Andy Warhol, except perhaps even prettier on the edge of European fashion design.
His line drawings are very dynamtic.
Cheers! Bravo!
