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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bunny-bowl), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bark-jacobs), 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vita-coco-halloween-treats-kits) next to their product. The oddly dressed character will draw many curiosity looks, and by proxy, so will the company's product.
