Guess has released their Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaigns and we have two totally different directions for the Guess Accessories SS 08-09 and the Guess by Marciano Watches Fall/Winter 08-09 ads.
Let’s start with the exciting one. The ads for Guess Accessories (the first five images) go for a sizzling photo shoot with super hot models Jon Kortajarena and Irina Sheik showing lots of skin and intimate interaction.
The recent Guess by Marciano Watches campaign pairs Jon Kortajarena with Franziska Frank, but ditches the sleazy art direction and goes for class with the models keeping their clothes on. I Guess it makes sense because its winter. :)
Hey, at least the Guess didn’t go for nudevertising like John Galliano or crotchvertising to sell its watches and accessories...
