Esprit, 1987

Spring looks by Oliviero Toscani

Esprit’s Susie Tompkins started the company out of San Francisco when she felt dissatisfied with American fashions after a trip to Europe.  Their ad campaigns shot by Toscani (who is also known for his United Colors of Benneton campaigns) embolden the clothes with a carefree ease and optimistic reality that perhaps could only come from Northern California.
