Fashionably black and white would be a simple, yet misleading way to describe the 2009 Autumn/Winter t-shirt collection from Passarella Death Squad.
The arrangement of shirts possess a shaded rendition of a high-end magazine cover. The provocative models are carefully censored by the creative design of the t-shirt.
Passarella Death Squad manufactures and hand screens each garment in London. The 2009 Autumn/Winter collection is an interesting view of regularly colorful magazine covers.
Implications - I'm a big sucker for ads like these. By deftly featuring an ad campaign that is deftly sexualized in addition to displaying the quality of the shirt's designs shows a brand willingness to blend high and low brow.
