Don't move, I'm gonna get you a towel.
Gisele Bundchen is the new model for the footwear company, Olang.
26-year-old Brazilian supermodel wears nothing but a splash of water and of course, the sandals for the new advertising campaign.
I chose to post this because of the media interest (see below) and because the photoshop work is pretty remarkable. Keeping in mind that this is an ad for sandals, I suppose the excuse for the water dress could be that you wear sandals at the beach.
This image to me is very similar to what someone might keep as a desktop background back in the windows xp environment. The flat color with a bit of a halo effect behind Gisele seems very low-effort.
Here is the image without the ad, just so you can appreciate the digital work.
The reason that this has received much media notoriety is that Bundchen is currently listed in Guinness World Records as the world’s richest supermodel. She has also included in the list of Forbes magazine’s Highest Paid Supermodels, with a total earning estimated at 33 million dollars by 2006.
Additionally, back in April, the cover of Vogue Magazine showed a picture of LeBron James and Bundchen in a pose resembling that of a King Kong poster. Not only did it show a man dominating a woman, (can't you just feel the fear in her eyes?) but it was also the first time a black man had been on the cover of the mag. This of course implies a racist depiction of violence and abuse. It was also compared to an old WWI recruitment poster titled "Destroy This Mad Brute"
