Sisley Ad Brings New Meaning to the Term, ‘Coke White’

SISLEY-FASHION-JUNKIE-1.jpg

Animal New York pointed us to this new Sisley ad by Zoo Advertising, Shanghai. Across the bottom of the brand are the words “Fashioin Junkie.”

Irritation over the misspelling of “Fashion,” and consequent suspicion of the ad’s legitimacy, aside, Sisley is typified for the poetic license it exercises to put women in compromising positions, examples here and here. We’re clearly not in the same neighborhood as cause-toting sister label Benetton anymore.

But hey, this is no time to preach the message. Clever use of the credit card in the spot, considering the nicely-carved coke-white dress probably cost as much as a nicely carved couple ounces.

UPDATE: In the comments section, a note from Sisley states these images are not the approved work of the company. Um, right. Is that why it took them so long to make this comment?
