Saint Laurent Taps Joni Mitchell for Spring Campaign

. (Radio.com) Saint Laurent unveiled its latest Music Project ad campaign for January 2015 and it's music legend Joni Mitchell. In a series of tweets, it was revealed that Mitchell was photographed in her home in Bel Air, CA by creative director Hedi Slimane, wearing a leather cape made specially for her by the French design house along with a Saint Laurent folk tunic and classic fedora.

The campaign is running in current issue of V magazine. Previous YSL Music Project campaigns have featured artists as disparate as Marilyn Manson, Marianne Faithfull, Daft Punk and Kim Gordon, all hand-selected by Slimane who cultivates a closer relationship with musicians than most fashion houses.

This follows the announcement on Jan. 6 that Joan Didion would be the face of a spring campaign for French luxury fashion house Celine, as the house curates a '70s look in step with their spring/summer 2015 runway collection.

These two women are miles away from American designer Calvin Klein's selection of a shirtless Justin Bieber as the face of his jeans or Kanye West and Kim Kardashian kissing in the Balmain campaign.
