Most fashion ads are so bland, lacking any aesthetic creativity: typical-looking model stretches out along velvet chaise in cleavage-bearing dress, looking into camera.
This Gucci ad, however, is captivating. At first glance it may seem like another look-at-the-bag ad, and on a basic level it is, but when you look a little closer, there is a lot more going on. And the inevitable question is: what the hell is going on? How have these two women ended up with their legs in that position? Have they bumped into one another (which would create a very awkward image up top), or is something more mischievous going on beyond the scope of the camera lens?

You are right. That is indeed a very intriguing ad. It makes me wonder what the rest of the picture looks like. And the ad also brilliantly sells the shoes. The position effectively gives us 3 different angles of those platforms and they all look darn hot and not awkward or uncomfortable in the least-as one would imagine such an awkward position would cause!
