100% Water and Sun Proof

Prockey Pen launched this interesting print advertisement campaign to promote its marker in an unusual manner. The campaign aims at focusing its quality of being complete sun and waterproof as the main strength of the product, at the same time it has attempted to sensationalize the campaign to some extent by publishing these skinny advertisements. A closer look of the advertisements reveals that the models appearing in the campaign are not wearing any clothes but they have painted their body with the marker. As a matter of fact, these products are usually used by children and these markers are comparatively less prevalent in offices, thereby the campaign seems to be targeting smaller chunk of potential customers.

The presentation of the campaign is apparently enticing for people due to obvious reasons. Moreover, using the same concept in all three advertisements seems to be slightly stretching. The text of the advertisement read, 100% water and Sun proof. The campaign was created by Ogilvy, Bangkok, Thailand.

Eva Longoria Appears for Bebe Sport Spring Collection

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has recently appeared in a latest print advertisement campaign for Bebe Sport. In the campaign, the Desperate Housewives actress poses next to swimmers and soccer players in the black and white campaign for Bebe Sport’s Fall 2007 collection. The campaign seems to be banking on public attention using strong star power and popularity of the actress. The advertisement campaign has focused appropriately only on sporting instinct.

The presentation of the campaign is extremely flat and the product benefit is only communicated through the star appearing in the campaign and the environment was created in such a way that it reflects combination of sports and fashion. Therefore the execution of the idea is fairly good. In addition, using a black and white background too has provided the campaign some kind of exclusivity and elegance.

Sisley: Fashion Junkie

is already famous for making racy advertisements to promote its brand image. However, this print advertisement for the brand seems to have traveled some extra length as it has portrayed questionable image of women. As a matter of fact, the campaign has attempted to show their product or cloths addictive as drugs. The advertisement has shown women indulged in the act of snorting cocaine and the dress has been arranged to appear as the drug. The advertisement is also showing some real cocaine kept on a credit card. The fashion has been depicted as a pile of cocaine shaped like a slinky white dress. However, being that its fashion, the advertisement is not actually supposed to make any sense.

The presentation of the campaign has surely compelled some people to raise question over the idea of depicting women snorting symbolic cocaine. The addictiveness aspect could have been shown in some other way rather almost explicitly showing women taking cocaine. The spelling of the word,fashion, has been printed wrong on the advertisements as well. The campaign was developed by Zoo Advertising, Shanghai, China.

Nemcova Starved Herself To Fit In

Czech beauty PETRA NEMCOVA used to starve herself in order to fit in with other models.

The supermodel is famed for her shapely curves now, but admits she tried a range of diets, including a fruit-only eating plan, at the beginning of her modelling career.

She tells Britain's Closer magazine, "I may have curves now, but when I started it was in the middle of the heroin chic phase. The likes of Kate Moss and Jodie Kidd almost forced everyone to be really skinny. I tried many diets, from eating very little or just protein to having only fruit all day.

"It was terrible for my metabolism and took me years to recover." Posted by: Melissa      Read more     Source

Great match: A denim posh miracle

Don't you just love wearing cleverly tailored denim? There's no match for great fitting jeans, but a sassy dress made of thin and subtle denim can make just the perfect in and out of work outfit!


Just look at this Miss Sixty short sleeve dress! Love the cap sleeves and the low belt, and I think a fitted upper with a more forgiving lower part is going to suit almost all shapes and sizes out there.

Pair this beauty with a Mia Venice striped pump, imagining you're a sailor's gal, and a big red Moni Moni satchel. Oh yes, if you really badly want to, you can put on some semi-sheer leggings. Posted by: Ivy      Read more     Source

While San Antonio Spurs Hoopster Tony Parker married oh not so Desperate Housewife, Eva Longoria with family, friends and tons of celebrities attending the ceremony just outside Paris for a "summer wedding" , the happy couple weren't the only people to get the gifts.

A Harvey Nicholas Fashion Victim

This contentious print advertisement was published by Harvey Nicholas in the leading magazines of UK, which landed in controversy and attracted fierce criticism for being irresponsible. The Advertising Standards Authority received many complaints to terminate the advertisement with immediate effect. The complaints alleged that the advertisement is grossly irresponsible as irresponsible it is showing unsafe driving. The complaints were also filed on the ground that the ad was offensive to people who had been, or who knew people who had been, involved in road accidents.
In response, the advertisers had agued that the situation was obviously not actual and said it was projected to be humorous. They further argued that the car was not hitting the man in the picture. On the other hand, magazines such as Vogue, Elle and Harpers & Queen, which published the advertisement, had also stated that the advertisement was doubtful to affront their readers and they had received no complaints.

However, the ASA had upheld both grounds of complaints and asked the advertisers to withdraw the advertisement. The advertising watchdog noted in its verdict that it showed a car in a dangerous and unwise situation, the advertisement was irresponsible. The watchdog while delivering its verdict said that the authority has concluded that the advertisement was probable to cause severe or widespread offence and asked the advertisers not to repeat the approach.
