L’Wren Scott, Elizabeth Taylor, and Herb Ritts on set of the ‘White Diamonds’ campaign which is the best selling celebrity perfume in history.
——“The legends,” as I called them, were always my favorite shoots. The White Diamonds advertisement with Elizabeth Taylor was my all-time favorite. Herb was so obsessed that she was happy and loved her pictures, it took weeks of planning to make the set perfect. He wanted her to have a special golf cart bring her from the makeup trailer to the set so her dog could ride alongside her.
—— When she got there, Elizabeth pulled off her own massive diamond earrings and quoted her famous ad: “These have always brought me luck!” But when she saw the jewels for the shoot, she exclaimed: “Oh wow! What can I keep?” I looked nervously at Herb, because he always knew the perfect thing to say. “Oh Elizabeth,” he said. “That’s a surprise. We have not even started shooting yet.” After the shoot, Herb arranged for a very special small box to be delivered to Elizabeth." -Excerpt from Herb Ritts: Golden Hour
