THIS IS GREAT.

Fun nee
Oh man. This is a ripper. Love it.
This is a sad, sad, sad ad. As funny as A Clockwise Orange. Morals aside (although it is hard to do so), who would buy from them? Jesus.
oh get over yourself. this is funny.
It's offensive, low standard of humour. And this is coming from someone in ownership of dark and dry wit. Very disappointed, I normally like this agency's work too..
Love it!

interesting ad.
Deeply offensive. Wit doesn't compensate for morally vacuity of this level.
Hilarious... look death in the face and laugh.
no, you are looking at someone else's death and laughing. big difference.
'look death in the face and laugh'
LOL. best line evah
i don understand why some people are offended by this ad.
its funny, it really is, a bit sad but funny. thats reality.
plus, im really tired of seeing over-the-top-hot-models-who-normal-people-can-never-be, in fashion ads.
change is good, and this shit is funny.
what is funny? that you will be able to buy that dead ladies dress soon? i find this ad lame.
Even made me for the first time in my life to even think that vintage clothings might be of dead people, not just warn out.
it doesn't have to be the dress she's wearing, but the one's in her closet or something. u get the point...
and ma8 u are taking the message way too literal and serious. jus enjoy the funny part..
It mocks elderly people as nothing but clothes racks for ironic kids.
Post a pic of your grandmother so we can laugh at her and talk about what we will do with her clothes once she's dead. Hopefully soon. Get it?
truly agreed
'this shit is funny'
you said it :)
i thought its quite risky, i liked it, lots.
"It mocks elderly people as nothing but clothes racks for ironic kids. " - that seems a bit depressing and sad, i dont see this ad like that :s
it really makes you look, but that's insulting, too
these are not great at all, and somehow those creatives cannot think of any better for the brief. so sad
Its disturbing. In a good way!

On balance, this is a clever campaign that isn't afraid to raise the hackles of the people who get offended by it. I think they probably avoided censure by the UK's advertising body http://www.asa.org.uk/ because of the client's name. If the same campaign was run for Oxfam, or a similar charity shop, it would cause outrage and never see print. But it's for 'vintage' rather than 'second-hand' or 'charity' clothes. So however much it might rankle, it's been positioned for its audience, with a tongue-in-cheek cruelty that is no doubt excused as 'part of the brand's modern and ironic youthfulness.' Still cruel though, but I like it.
