The upcoming March 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar features a peculiar editorial with Australian model Catherine McNeil and Lipstick Jungle hunk Robert Buckley wearing a bunny suit, walking around New York City.
The editorial was shot by famed photographer Peter Lindbergh and shows that when you hit the streets of New York City, you need an eye-catching accessory, even if that means your boyfriend dressing like a furry animal.
Implications - One of the most effective ways a company can create eye-catching advertising is by featuring an outlandishly dressed character next to their product. The oddly dressed character will draw many curiosity looks, and by proxy, so will the company's product.
