The adverising picture is inspired by the painting "Les Trois Graces" by Jean-Baptiste Regnault.
The three graces were the goddesses of the joy of living and infused happiness in the hearts of the gods and humans.
Aglaia was the goddess of Splendor, Euphrosine of Joy, Talia of Prosperity.
In the advertising there is also a man, symbol of fashion, who is looking at the observer.
The three graces and the man are close, and this means they are similar. So fashion becomes a way to reach joy and, as the goddeses, can send happiness in the heart of people.
