Paying a fortune to look like this ...

[isitsnowingyett]

Struck by this ad that appeared on FB this morning and not in a good way 😂

Agree @MildredSauce
The blue eye shadow is classic.

I think she looks amazing and really epitomises the spirit of Vivienne Westwood - it’s a fabulous ad! 😍

I agree. I think it's a fake advert to a scam site.

Personally I think it looks like it's from peacocks or somewhere- bloody horrible-not about the lady who looks jolly and fun - purely the clothes- mind you I'm not her market but yep it's def not my taste and I don't think does anything for the woman either

Oops I missed it was a bloke- still think it's bloody horrible

@whatwhatnot Am well-versed not only in Vivienne Westwood but advertising, particularly fashion advertising, marketing and branding too.

But thank you so much for educating me 😂

As mentioned in a previous post, micro advertising like this is huge. It's about engagement.

Anyway, I don't actually use social media any more so really aren't in a place to comment as I don't see this stuff. However, I know many who engineer this stuff (not to mention the more authentic and carefully stage-managed advertising (also linked to in this thread).

I suspect OP is her granddaughter

I agree with@whatwhatnot.
I think it looks like a scam site.

I have reported fake adverts/ scam sites to Alémais and Casey Casey. If anyone cares to, they can send it to VW. Alémais and Casey Casey sent very nice replies thanking me and saying they would try to take down the fake sites.

LOL. Of course you are. Saying it doesn't make it so.

If you were, you would appreciate that even viral/ guerilla/subversive marketing is going to maintain a certain standard of visual quality for a brand standard. The photograph is too bad and low res/blurry as well as badly composed. Even if the aim was to make it talked about as a viral marketing campaign it wouldn't be that bad.

But you are claiming you are expert when you go on to say

On the official VW site they have compiled a list of official social media channels. I haven't checked every single one but didn't spot this.

Vivienne Westwood approved social media

Maybe I'm being naive but I didn't take this post as a slight against the model in particular, I took it as a brand spending shit loads of money on an advert and it looking shite.

The makeup, hair and background are all awful and you can't really see the clothes properly.

But that was just my take.

It's a bit mean OP.

I don't think the brand did. It looks nothing like VW official social media.
Vivienne Westwood Facebook

No, I know that now from reading the thread. But I hadn't known that when I first opened it and that was my understanding of the post.

If they're aiming it at GenX - it's bang on target. Makes me think of Cyndi Lauper. VW has never done the whole bland, borin, disposable fashion bullshit.

@FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee great user name .... I tried to use it but clearly you beat me to it ☕☕☕

Trans man? Really?

Are you suggesting I made this up? 😂

Another one - why on earth would I make it up? Let me go back and find the screenshot🙄

So many people here jumping to conclusions and attributing certain negative characteristics to me based on - nothing . A few words. It wasn't the woman, her age, her belly, her make up - yes it was the dishevelled looking patchwork cardigan and skirt combo - combine that with the inflated price and " well it's Vivienne Westwood" snobbery. It reminded me of the attached. No it's not my look 😂

Here is the uncropped screenshot. You can clearly see it's Facebook . Sorry to disappoint .

Some of us do genuinely like the Vivienne Westwood mad bag lady look though!

Thank you.

Nobody is saying you made the advert up. A few of us are saying the advert is fake and will link to a scam site.
