The new [H & M Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) is a fun take on geometry with supermodels Eva Herzigova, Shalom Harlow and the odd man out, actor/model Vincent Gallo.

Shot by photographer Andreas Sjödin, the ads feature the models playfully posing next to assorted larger-than-life geometric shapes.

The ads can be effectively used by fashionistas to teach their kids about triangles, circles, rectangles, and lines.

Now, who says fashion can’t be educational?

The [print campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) is complemented with an equally [fun video spot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-and-parker-posey) that features the models getting lost in rooms and mazes. It gets rather surreal and weird, make sure to catch that spot above and the making-of video below.
