Things That Make You Go ‘Hmm’: Diane von Furstenberg’s New Spring Ad Campaign

As Americans, we are inundated with advertisements of all shapes and sizes everywhere we go.  And thanks to the internet and things like ‘viral videos’ the way in which companies choose to showcase their products is at least getting a little more creative.  But we have never seen anything quite like this.

For her Spring 2012 ads, designer Diane von Furstenberg, or better known to you and me as the initials DVF, has decided to go for a decidedly surrealist art-y bent – that looks different with each ad.

The campaign feature models with their faces cut-out and instead there is a mirror, which reflects the sky above or, if you want to get up in there, your own face.  Clever?  Kooky?  You decide!  We think it’s actually a pretty cool idea.

They call themselves a surrealist boutique and boast to have a collection of clothing and art that will stand out from the crowd. The boutique is run by a collective of artists who have a simple motto: “support local living artists.” They currently have a collection of locally made jewelry, holistic wrapped stones, clothing by Bhoomi and Ratredz as well as a collection of mixed media works by Philadelphia artists which is on display through October.
