For some reason I don’t like these ad’s, but their not all that bad. I think it the line “I Hate Ugly” that I don’t like, and the horrible fonts used.

With out that line I would really like these ads.

The reason I don't like them is because there's no idea.

Most fashion ads don't. It's about the styling only.

while you are right, Ivan, I think these guys have tried to infuse a concept here. look... the models are trying to make ugly things look better.

I like. Fashion advertising rarely has some product benefit to fall upon and it's all left to advertising to deliver affinity towards the brand. With 'I hate ugly' they have the potential to take it beyond advertising and create buzz.

Line is fine. But I think the font for the graffiti should be less like "ugly"
