The Top Fashion Ad Campaigns of Spring 2017

Courtesy

The biggest telltale sign of a new season isn't the weather or the fashion deliveries expected to land in stores—no, it's the onslaught of ad campaigns that unabashedly broadcast each brand's vision, spotlighting both new and forever muses modeling fresh wares (or in Gigi's case, an alarming lack thereof).

These campaigns set the tone for the rest of the season. And in this fight to win over the hearts and attention spans (and ultimately, the business) of consumers, these ads have become increasingly harder to miss, as buzzy stars are cast, wild jungle cats or camels become co-stars, and location sets get more exotic with each season. From Versace's horse-riding stunts to Dior's feminist message, scroll to see the top, must-see campaigns of spring 2017.
