That is, a successful advertising can literally turn people's minds, to do the norm that had seemed unfamiliar, strange or even unacceptable.

< Versace, 1992

It would seem that this so incredible in this advertisement? Yes, it flaunt iconic supermodel 90, from Linda Evangelista to Naomi Campbell, but what hidden meaning?
