Before the days of PhotoShop...

Not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you think of DVF.

Also want to point out, this is not some pre-photoshop 1980s picture magic. They actually staged and shot this hair-brushing scene 4 different times in 4 different colors.

Gee, those colors make me nostalgic! Never would've guessed it wasn't just an airbrush job!

Hehe, the way everything at Sears matched is so fascinating.

I have seen this ad before, but this is the first time someone suggested how it was made. If you stare at it long enough you can see differences in the curtains and beds, and even the towels. It is possible that the model is pasted into each picture. I am not sure.

You're 100% right!

Just noticed that one of the lamps is different - did someone drop it by the time of the peach shoot?

Ha, ha, ha! You're totally right. If that wasn't different, I'd have a hard time believing it was a different shoot. I recall being a kid and it being done that not EVERY accessory to a room was available in the exact same color (because I'd often fixate, of course, on an item I liked that was a different color).

Oh 80's...I miss you so.

At first I thought it was photoshop and the hue was just changed on the objects but then I saw that the textures on the bed and patterns were different so no they are real photos. Her expression is not quite the same and the distance of her hair to the wall is different in some by cm's.
