Sisley 1988 Moscow Tour Advertising Campaign GQ

As promised in my blog post: http://blog.therussiahouse.net I have dug out the original pictures and re-scanned them and put them here: http://davesrussiapagephotos.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/sisley-1988-moscow-tour-advertising.html.

The Sisley "Moscow Tour" adverstising appeared in one of the earliest editions of GQ magazine, which was first published 25 years ago.

GQ Magazine 25 Years Old

Its 25 years since British men's style magazine "Gentlemen's Quarterly" first hit the news stands in the UK.  Originally a quarterly publication, hence the name, GQ is now a successful monthly publication with worldwide readership.  What is the relevance here, I hear you ask?  Well, apart from the fact that GQ has published a Russian version for a couple of years now, I used to buy GQ back in 1988.  I clearly remember some adverts in that first edition which were advertising clothes by "Sisley", mainly because I cut them out and still have them (loser!), which were  themed "Moscow Tour".  I kept the adverts because I loved the images of Moscow.  Here are two of them.  They are poor scans - as they were done years ago; but I will dig out the originals and re-scan them.

On Manage Square, in front of Moscow Hotel.  On the advert, I'm sure there was some caption "you must be some kind of idiotsky to speed down Prospekt Marx on a motorbike"
