Penningtons: Magic mirror
Penningtons is on a mission to give plus size fashion a major makeover. From their fresh, new styles to their exciting shopping experience, everything about the revamped Penningtons is “Styled to Surprise.” So in the spirit of surprise, DDB Canada’s Toronto office created the world's first mirror that reflected the joy of finding a fabulous fit. Upon standing in front of a mirror, shoppers were stunned to see two completely realistic fireman descend from either side of their reflection via incredible, motion-sensored, mirror technology. The fun and flirty virtual firemen checked out the shoppers' new Penningtons clothes and performed a charming act for them before disappearing altogether. Shoppers amazed reactions were captured on film for all to see.

Fun idea...
very cool idea... a fun instore experience
It's a gimmick and doomed to fall by the sidelines in a short time. That said, a delighted customer is worth any price and watching these ladies smile will make any advertiser's day.
A good idea with great results. I hope it goes viral.
