Marie Claire: Clothing trail

Marie Claire: Clothing trail
Average: 8 (39 votes)

Problem: Due to on-shelf clutter, Marie Claire’s flagship ‘Naked Issue’ isn’t standing out.
Solution: To create the illusion that a woman had undressed on her way ‘into the Naked Issue’, we created floor decals that look like a trail of clothing which led up to the magazine.

Not bad. Although, it's too bad that the woman in the picture is looking at the magazines and not following the trail of clothes.

Never gonna work? That's a very strong statement. The truth is NO stunt would make you buy a magazine if you don't like the content inside. The idea here was to just promote the issue; get people's attention. In that regard, I think this campaign is a success!

Good one! Funny that nobody did this before. Better for macho magazines, but if women are interested in a Naked Issue, the ambient works too.
