Fashion Campaigns

Fashion advertising operates at the intersection of commerce and culture, and the best campaigns in the category have moved both simultaneously. Calvin Klein's provocative campaigns of the 1980s and 90s redefined what a brand could say about the body. Gucci under Tom Ford turned a label into a cultural statement. More recently, digital-first brands like Supreme and Palace have built global followings through scarcity, collaboration, and advertising that refuses to look like advertising. In fashion, the campaign is inseparable from the brand.

The campaigns in this collection

  1. Where Jewelry Comes to Life - Velora · Mojo creative studio

    Jewellery is normally shot as a still object on a plain surface. This treats each piece as something animate instead, placing charms inside built environments where light and motion give them behaviour, so the pieces read as experienced rather than displayed.

  2. GG Legends: ZywOo - Gucci · 2023

    To build authentic relevance with digital natives who treat esports champions as modern elite athletes, Gucci leveraged the double meaning of its heritage "GG" monogram—both the founder's initials and gaming shorthand for "Good Game." The "GG Legends" campaign legitimizes top competitive gamers as h

  3. Teaser - Versace · 2016

    Versace "Teaser". A Versace fashion teaser building anticipation for a collection.

  4. Explore Mode On - Zalando

    BETC positioned Zalando Lounge, the off-price arm, as a treasure hunt rather than a discount bin.

  6. Sculpting Aesthetics - SS24 - Brunello Cucinelli · 2024

    A fashion film for Brunello Cucinelli's SS24 collection built on architecture with a sculptural quality. Modern and contemporary references meet in an interplay of forms and reflections, so the clothes are read through the shapes and light of the space rather than shown on a runway.

  7. Spring 24 Digital Fashion Show - Balenciaga · 2023

    Balenciaga's Spring 24 digital fashion show: the maison's stark Paris flagship facade frames a high-fashion presentation delivered as a sleek, minimal digital experience.

  11. Xfinity Mobile - Apple · Goodby, Silverstein & Partners · 2019

  14. Back To School - Dior

    A back-to-school film for the Diorling collection by Cordelia de Castellane for Baby Dior. It runs through the specific rituals of the term's first days, buttoning up for the morning drop-off and the obligatory first-day photograph, positioning the clothes as pieces that hold up across all of it.

  15. Don't Underestimate a Genius - Moncler · 2018

    Made for the Moncler GENIUS collection, the film takes the collection name literally and asks what Millie Bobby Brown would be if she were not Millie Bobby Brown.

  16. Life Has Many Paths - Coach · Marcel · 2024

    Coach's Courage To Be Real platform takes the position that the hard part of becoming yourself is the pressure not to.

  19. Cheetos Pants - Cheetos · Impact BBDO · 2021

    Humanity's most profound snacking question - what to do with Cheetle-covered fingers - solved with trousers dyed the exact shade of the dust. The insight: don't apologise for the product's mess, merchandise it; the brand's most famous 'flaw' becomes wearable fan identity.

  20. My Eyes Are Up Here - XYXX · The Womb · 2024

    XYXX's 'My Eyes Are Up Here' with creator Vir Saini: an everyday social behaviour - where eyes drift - flipped onto men, using humour to make audiences reconsider something rarely questioned.

  21. Create your adicolor - adidas · TBWA\Barcelona · 2015

    Ad for adidas adicolor. Dipping the shoe fully in one colour dramatises the campaign's promise - a blank canvas sneaker for wearers to drench in whatever colour they choose.

  22. Creative Print Ads - Comfort · Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai · 2015

    Provocative ad for Comfort fabric conditioner. Stretching out even the most rigid, unbending figure argues the product softens and relaxes the stiffest of fabrics - a deliberately edgy visual metaphor.

  23. No matter how fashionable you are - samsung · Cheil Worldwide · 2016

    This road-safety campaign attacks phone use at the wheel on the terms of an image-conscious audience. The insight: people who'd never be seen doing something ugly still text while driving, so no matter how fashionable you are, using a mobile while driving is ugly reframes distraction as a style fail

  24. Go Forth - Levi's · Wieden+kennedy · 2009

    Wieden+Kennedy relaunched Levi's 501 around Walt Whitman's faith in America and its future. The insight: a heritage denim brand had gone quiet, and pioneering optimism was its truest inheritance, so Go Forth channelled Whitman's poems and defiant, hopeful lines like all I need is all I got to cast t

Why this collection is worth studying

Fashion advertising is most instructive for what it reveals about desire and aspiration. The products are often less important than the worlds they inhabit - the models, the photographers, the art directors, the cultural references. Understanding how those worlds are constructed, and what they're saying beneath the surface, is an education in the deeper grammar of advertising.
