Selling Shoes with Sex, Fights & Murder

Crimevertising in Carvari's ‘True Detail&#8217

After delivering one of the sexiest footwear ad campaigns with their Spring/Summer ‘08 ‘Flora Amore,’ Luciano Carvari return with an equally creative, but totally different, Fall/Winter 2008-2009 ad campaign.

The ‘True Detail’ campaign celebrates the craftsmanship and attention to detail of the Luciano Carvari shoes with ads that illustrate precision, timing and hand skills.

They range from an angry girlfriend skillfully throwing a handbag at her boyfriend and a young wife putting the right amount of poison in her old husband’s food to a cyclist tripping over a well-placed banana peel and a detective examining the scene while tying his shoes. It’s all about paying attention to the details.
