Marithé + François Girbaud, There’s no half-singing in the shower, you’re either a rock star or an opera diva.
I really have no idea what is going on here, but I don’t really care. I love the visuals anyway, a little strange but not boring. Allot more fun that another boring condom ad. They look a bit editorial too. Actually it looks to me like Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair cover but on acid.
Cool locations and styling, fun looking characters/models and general “I do not give a shit if you don’t get it” attitude. Like I said good… whatever, interesting …yea. I do think if Annie did this, she would light it a little smoother, perhaps more interesting. Well actually probably her team would.

This ad for Marithé François Girbaud clothing company is definitely anything but boring. It grabs your attention and makes you look.

The first two say “if you are gay and your family is this weird, you might need some strange clothing”.
The first kid must be adopted, but the second kid could almost be their kid (don’t ask me how, the mind boggles). I just feel sorry for that second kid though, it seems like his “parents” are more concerned with sitting and posing than with him.
The last one says “If you are mostly normal, why not run your skirt over with a lawnmower, it will look more stylish”.
