And then the pictures from autumn 2001, both campaigns was made by the French  photographer of the grand parade (1989), commemorating the French Revolution bicentennial Jean Paul Goude and  Laetitia Casta.  Jean Paul Goude and Laetitia Casta represent the "French touch" mixed with a cultural diversity that reflects the glamour of the city of light.

  
                     
           
                     
           
                     
           
                     
      When I first saw this picture in 2001,  I new she was pregnant. Actually I was a little shocked, it was not like the "ordinary" Laetitia Casta pictures...... That was before I  knew about the Lafayette campaign and the style they use there.

Some words about the Galleries Lafayette:
                     
Then About Today

In 1893 Theophile Bader and his cousin Alphonse Kahn decided to open a fashion store in a small haberdasher's shop at the corner of Lafayette and Chaussée d'Antin streets. In 1896, the company purchased the entire building at n°1 rue La Fayette.


From the start, Galeries Lafayette presented an assortment of frills and ruffles, ribbons, lace and small feminine articles and asserted thus their vocation : high fashion and latest novelties. In order to stand apart from its competitors, Theophile Bader decided to sell fashionable models at affordable prices.
Therefore, he launched or bought manufacturing facilities which made products exclusively for Galeries Lafayette. He also knew that fashion, tastes and envies changed very often. His method was totally original at the time. An outdoor sign claimed on the Lafayette street side of the building in bright lights : " Galeries Lafayette , the best bargain store in all Paris "

In 1996 Galeries Lafayette celebrated their 100th anniversary. On this occasion a few prestigious brands reissued one of their greatest classics : scarves by Cartier, a bee broach by Dior or a Baccarat vase. A thousand other brands offered a thousand exclusive products for the " Dernier cri " exhibition.
