I love the glorification of opposites in Mackage's Fall 2009 ad campaign. Each image juxtaposes opposing elements, whether it's leather and wool, masculine and feminine or shiny metallics and matte neutrals. The result is a stunning series of photographs that illustrates the inherent harmony and beauty in discord.
