I have to admit these ads are a little freaky at first, but they definitely do catch the eye. Maybe it is the [flashy suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salute-the-detail) or maybe it's the torsos with the missing craniums, but these spreads do a very successful job of drawing the viewer in. The Parx Campaign was masterminded by [advertising agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/people-will-talk) Dentsu Marcom and promotes the company's latest fashion line.

The Parx campaign uses the successful formula of body dissection which is used in a lot of [fashion ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asos-inspired-by) and usually works very well.
