Subtly Victorian Fashion Ads

The Links of London Fall 2012 Campaign Stars a Romantic Codie Young

The Links of London Fall 2012 ad campaign has a romantic Victorian vibe despite the fact that it is clearly promoting modern fashion. From the darkened shots and ornate backdrops to the classy styling and beauty touches, the images are as timeless as they are tasteful. Not to mention that the tag lines sound like something Jane Austen would come up with. A black sheer top is paired with 'Of Pride and Passion' while a men's watch is accompanied by "Of Courage and Honour."
