This [lingerie-and-swimwear shoot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat) titled 'Jana' by Michael Novoselov ditches the typical poolside or beach shoot in favor of an urban highway. The model lounges on a pool float in the middle lane, seemingly unaware of the perils of rush hour and speeding motorists.

In other shots, the model lounges along a [concrete roadside barrier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture) -- perhaps channeling a fashionable hitchhiker or drifter? See more from 'Jana' by Michael Novoselov above.

**Implications** - One of the most effective ways a company can advertise its product is by featuring [sexually charged advertising](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty). The ads immediately generate interest from potential consumers, as well as a controversy-obsessed media, and critics of the ad's content. The kind of attention it creates immediately raises brand awareness.
