The latest campaign for Agent Provocateur focuses on a desert stripping lingerie film that will get men all hot and bothered. In fact, they are represented by way of a lost man who appears to be seeing a mirage of sexy women in place of a more typical oasis. Yet this vision isn't so out of context when it comes to this label.
Written and directed by actress Penelope Cruz, who happened to have a big hand in the last campaign as well, she makes a split second appearance at the beginning of the desert stripping lingerie film. Although just a teaser for now, Adrants surmises what the full video will reveal, "Yet another male fantasy? A long lost photographer in search of his next objectifying lingerie shoot? Yet another reminder that most of us don't look all that great with our clothes off."

Trend Themes
1. Lingerie Fantasy Films - Creating cinematic lingerie campaigns that cater to male fantasies presents an opportunity for disruptors to redefine the lingerie industry's approach to marketing.
2. Celebrity-created Advertisements - Celebrity involvement in the advertising sector provides avenues for disruptors to challenge the preconceived notions and ideals of traditional marketing.
3. Feminization of Male Fantasy - Shifting the narrative from male-dominated fantasies to female-oriented empowerment themes- and implementing this in subsequent lingerie campaigns- presents an opportunity for businesses to turn the tide on conventional perception.
Industry Implications
1. Lingerie - Lingerie companies that challenge the market's advertising practices through fresh and innovative campaigns can disrupt the industry's stereotype.
