Levis is such a diverse company. My dad wears them for pennies AND I can go to a full-retail Levis store and buy a pair for myself that cost triple what his do. Levis has a new line of women's jeans that is suppose to fit "three universal body types." Now, leave it to Wieden + Kennedy. They are taking control of its advertising and created the "Curve ID" campaign to launch the product. I'm sure I'll be trying these out because W + K convinced me. Finding a good fitting pair of a jeans is like Christmas morning for me. It is a rare occurrence and when it does happen it is wonderful. Check out this Ad Week article about it... and you will probably go out and try them too.
And PS: W + K, next time I am in Portland or New York-- you better believe I'll be hounding someone in the Account Management department.. I need to talk to you about all this stuff!
"I think advertising is poison gas. Advertising should tear you up, it should choke you, you should get the chills and maybe you should pass out when you're watching." - George Lois
We couldn't agree more. The ad-world fuels our endless curiosity for what moves people to do what they do, how we can invade people's homes and lives, and how, at the end of the day, we can convince people to buy more crap they don't need. Like poison gas, this shit's in our veins...pervades our lives and every waking (and sometimes sleeping) thoughts.
