Sunset in Marrakesh with Lindsey Wixson by Terry Richardson for YSL

Terry Richardson captured Lindsey Wixson for the ad campaign of Yves Saint Laurent Beauté: Sunset in Marrakesh.

Sunset.

Glowing shades of violet, bronze, coral and gold illuminate the sky.

A lustrous glimmer proclaims the arrival of twilight.

Like a tantalizing muse,

the YSL woman is silhouetted by the sun’s last rays.

A halo like an intimate golden caress on her tanned skin.

As the sun sets,

its breathtaking rays ignite her incandescent beauty.

Matte complexion, sunset eyes, sensual lips, flashing nails.

The YSL woman gives herself to the feverish spirit of summer.

"Sunset, the magical hour when the sky changes colour, taking on a subtle palette of warm, heady tones that ignite with the first violet glimmers of summer. The radiance of Saharienne heat, contrasted by fresh waves of twilight, sets the tone for the Summer Look 2013 by Yves Saint Laurent. A variation on torrid, golden hues heightened and cooled by touches of violet, coral, fuchsia and green.”
