Jeans Advertising Campaigns

Jeans

Let us take a look at the most interesting advertising campaigns of custom made jeans brands.

Four TV spots of Live Unbuttoned advertising campaign by Levis created by advertising agency BBH London inspire with their own philosophy, understanding, completeness and fan viruses. Live unbuttoned is a campaign with Levis 501 jeans spirit. It is associated with unrestraint, freedom, disengagement and the opportunity of self-expression. And the process of jeans unbuttoning is a symbol of this spirit. It means that unbuttoning our custom jean we unbutton ourselves and break away from conventionalities and prohibitions. The advertising campaign presents the act of jeans unbuttoning as the act of self-expression and self-revealing.

John Anderson, president and CEO of Levi Strauss & Co says: We sell Levis jeans in 110 countries and we are jeans company number 1 in the world. This global campaign gives us a unique opportunity to let the new generation of people wearing tailored jeans know that original jeans 501, which are a quintessence of our company, are modern and reflect their lifestyle.

4 advertising TV spots illustrate the eternal insight of self-expression and riot. Two of them Unbreakable, visualizing a curious way of self-expression and First Time, in which a boy and a girl do something for the first time were created by the famous first line director of photography Fredrik Bond. Guitar spot created by Swedish director of photography Emil Mller shows the dialogue of the young man with his unusual inner voice. And the last TV spot called Secrets and Lies was created by Jeff Labbe and depicts a young man and a girl who are up to have sex but carry out a sincerity session admitting their lies and telling each other secrets. The soundtrack of the spots was written and performed by Genesis.

Besides, apart from virus and TV spots the campaign included printed advertising in Maxim, Details, Rolling Stone, Paper and Sport Illustrated magazines, as well as outdoor advertising and online spots.

Malaysian advertising agency Bates Asia offered its version of Mermaid story in Levis tailor made jeans advertisement. In this interpretation Mermaids wish to become legs appeared after she found jeans by Levis in the sea. After this she visits the sea witch and a happy-end follows, when Mermaid puts her desirable jeans on.

Anomaly advertising agency created an unusual campaign for Diesel jeans called Be stupid. Custom jeans made by Wrangler also had an interesting advertising campaign last year. The slogan We are animals for European and American markets was created and carried out by FFL Paris advertising agency. Refined aggression of the advertisements is concealed in the total confluence with nature, up to dissolution. The spot characters are quasi filmed by a careful camera of naturalist Steve Bloom, and instead of posing they hide themselves, fiddle around secretly, or, tailing away in the swamps, like alligators, seriously wait for something without any evident reason. Naked torsos and fashionable jeans are present, but the camera man fluently builds a communicative barrier young people from potential target audience do not invite to join them, they rather attract someone elses attention. You wish you might come there, into the wild, but it frightens you as well. As a result you desire it desperately. It seams that the work of French artists has its own smell. But this is not the smell of hot machos or sweet babes, it is rather a smell of cool and moistened earth, mysterious reality, where it is ridiculous to ask questions, why you have designer jeans on. Because you were born with them.

Making skinny jeans work on men

Wholesale Clothing

Skinny jeans have snuck their way to the heart of more than one fashion trend and can now be counted as an essential for any fashion-forward guy. However, as with many of the most popular trends, skinny jeans aren’t always easy to get right. To look good in these tight-legged trousers, you need to make sure you not only get the right fit, but you also need to make sure to accessorise well. With a few handy hints and tips, you can conquer your fear of figure-hugging bottoms and try out the joys of skinny jeans for yourself.

The most essential part of introducing skinny jeans into your wardrobe is the moment you try them on for the first time. A close fit is essential to carry off the style but you don’t want jeans that are so tight that it’s possible to see the exact shape of your leg through them. Instead, you want skinny jeans that skim over your thighs and calves.

It’s also really important to make sure you get the waist measurement right as there’s nothing worse than skinny jeans with straining buttons. Avoid pipe cleaner legs or sagging bottoms by taking your measurements or trying on lots of different pairs until you find the right fit. You may also want to choose denim jeans that have a small amount of spandex in the mix, as they will have a little more stretch to them than other varieties.

Footwear is perhaps the biggest make or break choice when it comes to getting your skinny jeans right. Skip big, white trainers and choose something a little more flattering such as classic Converse boots or a gym shoes style. Boots can sometimes look good, especially if you’re rocking a cosy, winter look, but avoid wearing any too thick or sturdy, or they can make your feet look out of proportion. A pair of smart leather lace ups can also coordinate nicely. Wear these with a t-shirt and cardigan or to go with a fitted white shirt.

When it comes to your outerwear, you have a few great choices. Skinny jeans look particularly good with tailored coats and military designs. Throw on a pea coat or a structured army-style jacket for an effortlessly stylish look. On the other hand, you can team your jeans with a white t-shirt and a leather biker jacket for a real rock star vibe.

If you prefer a preppy look, wear them with a thin jumper, a simple blazer and a pair of geek chic rimmed glasses. The only thing you really need to watch out for are jackets that finish above the hip, as these can give you an awkward looking shape. Bomber jackets are a particularly bad offender in this regard. When it’s cold outside, you can pile as many layers onto your upper half as you need to without compromising on style as skinny jeans tend to balance the weight out nicely.

Accessorising with skinny jeans is easy once you know how, so stock up on some well-fitting mens skinny jeans and get ready to show off your legs and your well-developed sense of style.

The Origin Of Handbags

Handbags

Roughly 150 years ago, a brilliant scientist named Charles Darwin wrote a book. This book was the Origin of Species, and it was destined to become one of the foundations of modern thought. In this book, he laid out in great detail his revolutionary theory of natural selection, and explained a general outline of how every species came to be.

What you may not have considered, however, is that this system of spelling out also applies to other areas. For example, handbags. If you consider the history of each of the major fashion designers, it can be difficult to see any common ground. However, it is not that hard to find a sequence common to all of them. And so, without further ado, I present The Origin Of Handbags!

First, start with a dream. Almost all of the current major labels, such as Fendi or Chloe, started with a single woman opening a clothing shop. Naturally, of course, not every major designer begins quite the same way. Gucci, for instance, started with a man opening a shop, not a woman. Sometimes they begin by selling clothing, sometimes not, but always the founder discovers an unforeseen sense of fashion within themselves.

Shortly after their shop begins to succeed, the founder begins creating new and original fashions. At this point, they have a small shop in a big city, and begin to display their wares. Many people crash and burn here, or simply fail to attract the right attention, but for the soon-to-be major label designer, they quickly draw the attention of the cities fashion-conscious. Here, excellent business sense, and a significant amount of persistence, are needed to lift them to the top.

while some may struggle initially, such as Guess did, when trying to get their jeans into shops, others are immediately successful- such as Ralph Lauren’s ties. In any case, as soon as the public gets hold of their work, they very swiftly rise in fame. Within the founders lifetime, they see international recognition, and decide to expand their company.

This is where the handbag arises. The label, having now reached some degree of renown, begins to expand… perfumes are created, new fashions conceived, and they begin to sell handbags. Each label develops a distinctive look, to match their previous clothing design, and their handbags enter shops.

Whether you favour a classic Diego Rocha, or an elegant Prada, you cannot deny that each brand has its own look, it’s own feel, it’s own rare style to it. While everyone needs to wear clothes, handbags are optional, an accessory, and as such they are a blank canvas on which the designers work their magic, the one place they can be truly innovative and original.

In time, the original creator of the company passes away, and control of the brand is passed to his or her children. Sometimes they fight amongst themselves, as Aldo and Rodolfo Gucci did, or work peacefully together, as did the daughters of Adele Fendi. In any case, the label remains within the family. They continue to design ever more works of fashion, and the sales — and prices — of their handbags rise.

Once they have achieved international renown, not to mention uncountable awards, there is no where left to rise to- they are already at the top. By now, of course, the brand is a commonly spoken name, and everyone knows them. Usually the founder as, well, although not always. Could anyone, ever, hope to rival the fantastic designs and glamorous life of Roberto Cavalli? I hardly think so, save perhaps, by another designer…

This brings me to the end of my article, and my general description of the evolution of the labels behind the handbags. I hope I’ve entertained you, and possible even educated you slightly, but in any case I leave you with a question to ponder- is there anything else, that follows a similarly general pattern?
