Provocative / Offensive Ads - Page 32

MyNameIs · 09-04-2007

I'm actually surprised advertising (in fashion) doesn't push the envelope more in terms of offensive or provocative ads. I would think it would be a perfect field to do that, but guess not.

This is off the top of my head.

Yeah, I posted a whole bunch of them a couple pages back (page 11). She was barely 15 in the ads and she was dressed very sexy and hanging out with a guy that was obviously a lot older.

We've seen the provocative ads - that's easy. Let's mix it up with an offensive ad. I'm not particularly offended but some may say otherwise.Attachment 292010 Source: WWD Beauty Biz - Ad Scanned by Me

i love the "provocative" ysl ones
they're all very artistically done
i know that one ^ was inspired by some painting, except the sexes are switched around (one clothed man, 2 naked women). i like the flipped hierarchy, actually!

xmodel citizen · 13-04-2007

^ It was inspired by Manet's "The Luncheon on the Grass". The painting was very controversial when it was released, so they were obviously doing a cheeky take on it. I like the ad better than the original actually.

An old ad, but disgusting nonetheless.

crow_watcher · 26-04-2007

^Being that it's an ad for smoking?

Uchina · 26-04-2007

No, she's rejecting the cookies because she's using cigarettes to reduce her appetite.

crow_watcher · 26-04-2007

I didn't analyze it that way. But now I get it.

HeaTk · 26-04-2007

lol its funny to meeee

**iluvjeisa** · 27-04-2007

^Yeah, pretty much

It's astonishing when ads are actually that honest.
