I used to really look up to the Ralph Lauren label.
90% of my high school wardrobe was from them – my shirts, my jeans, my perfume, my socks, my sneakers, and I even had both the Polo Country and Polo Sportsman moccasins for those special dates at TGIFriday’s and various Soph Nights.
(The old Chapsville in Shoppesville sure made a lot of money off of me.)
Yet despite the uproar over this tragically-mutated-through-the-demonic-powers-of-Photoshop print ad, it seems that their art directors just don’t have a clue when it comes to good taste.
Seriously. What is going on here?
Either they need to start hiring new art directors, or at the very least start paying their models with cheeseburgers and a good protein shake or two.
Did nobody learn anything from that wonderful classic “Campaign For Real Beauty” that Dove launched three years ago?
