Scandalously Violent Footwear Ads

More of the Steamy Brian Atwood S/S ‘09 Campaign

It seems that the first images we featured from the Brian Atwood Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign were just an appetizer.

The real games start here with even steamier, more violent and scandalous scenes between 55-year-old actress and rebounding model Rene Russo and top male model Jon Kortajarena.

Another male and female model are thrown into the mix in these shots, but the main attraction is the rough love and kinky games between Jon and Rene.

Photographer Tony Duran is known for his sexual images, and this campaign only cements that reputation.
