Aerie Ads
In Spring of 2014, the lingerie store, Aerie, started an ad campaign never been

seen in lingerie ads. All aerie ads now feature the hashtag #aerieReal and all models in

the ads are untouched. Now, any aerie ad shown in the store, television, magazines and

billboards feature untouched models in undergarments. Most advertsiments for womens

undergarments are modeled by young, beautiful and seemingly flawless women. Models

for these ad are retouched until they appear to have the “picture perfect” bikini body.

Yes, this might look good, but it’s not natural. Who said being natural and real isn’t

sexy? Aerie is working to try to stop the idea that “to be beautiful, you need to be a size

0”. Young women look at these flawless models

Her body is layed out in a sexy, relaxed position and looks confident about her. The

model is clearly not trying to hide her body, but embracing it. You can see the flaws on

the model, but still see the beauty and perfection of real beauty. On the top of the ad,

it reads “The girl in this photo has not been retouched.” “The real you is sexy.” The not

in the first sentence is italized and pink. Also, the sentence “The real you is sexy” is in

pink. Emphasizing that NOT being retouched is sexy and the real you is sexy. The white

sheets, pillows and her white cover up emphasize the simplicity and natural beauty Aerie

is trying to promote. The store logo, on the bottom right hand of the ad, is also in white.

Her teeth glow with shine and radiate happiness reflected in the ad.

The ad has many elements which can loar the viewer in. On the ad, there is text

on the upper left hand and lower right hand corner. The text isn’t very bold and near the

corners because the main focus is the model and her being untouched. The ad is shot at

an angle that shows off her whole body. The angle is flattering to her figure because

The ad gives off a relaxing,

refreshing and comforting vibe. It seems like it would feel warm and soft. The image

appears relaxing as girls should feel in their own bodies. The entire ad emphasizes

comfort and relaxation to help with the ad campaign.

Aerie has created a new way to look at modeling, that no other company has done

before. These confident and happy looking models on Aerie ads will persue viewers to

shop at these stores. The relaxed and confident themes from Aerie ads are comforting

to the viewers. If todays society, many girls have self-esteem issues and no body

confidence due to unrealistic model bodies we are consisetly exposed to. Aerie wants to

create a new meaning to what real beauty is and that everyone is beautiful in their own

skin. Most women who model for undergarments are photoshopped to the point that it

doesn’t even look like them. Girls should not strive to look like an unrealistic girls.

Confidence in girls in everything and Aerie is trying to make all girls feel beautiful.

Aeries ads are helping bring this confidence back and purusing more and more girls

to shop where you truly can feel

    Celebs will attract their fans towards the brand and possibly even those who dislike them (haters). Since American Apparel centers all their ads around sex, the celebs that would best fit the company’s brand would probably come out of the adult entertainment industry. Adult entertainment stars, pornstars, are not real big name celebs but they are considered celebrities to much of the public depending on their rank in the business. The choice of pornstars to promote a brand sets the sex appeal really high for that brand and is bound to attract attention from the public. No need to tell the company who they should get to promote the brand as they chose adult entertainment star Lauren Phoenix. They then describe her as “150 pounds of magic” in hopes of persuading the reader to want to learn more about the model who is promoting the brand. Although celebs attracts their fan base more than any other regular model it is best to stay away from big name celebs such as Beyoncé, Kim K, Rihanna, etc. Big name celebs are normally adored by the public and the usage of their sex appeal may draw too much attention away from the brand…

    Today women are portrayed in media, especially in advertisements, wrongly. People do not notice that this representation of women has influenced our lives in many ways that we are unware of. For this reason Jean Kilbourne started collecting ads in the late 1960s. Advertisements reveal the message to women that what matters the most is the way they look and ads shows us images of what a perfect female looks like. But, these “perfect women” are created by airbrushing, cosmetics, and computer retouching.…

    Everyday ads are shown through newspapers and media. We can see them everywhere, from park benches to sides of buses. However, no one really pays attention to any of them. They are skipped, ignored, and turned over to the next page over by many every single day. The most commonly used saying about ads that one could hear is that they are simply “annoying”. Whether there is a celebrity in them or not, people just want to continue with what they are reading, trying to watch, or listen to.…

    The first thing the viewer would notice about the ad is that the pages are bound together, and upon instinct they will try to pull them apart, with the assumption that something happened, and the pages just stuck together. However, the separation of pages is the key part of the advertisement. Only after the pages have been separated is the text revealed. The advertisement will only have…

    Hairspray Advertising

    • 1276 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The woman is kneeling, and the text is shaped to fit her kneeling position. This draws attention to her slim figure. Her feet are behind her, bare and pointed. Her right hand is dangling gracefully, and her left hand daintily hold her clothing together in the middle- just perfect so that a little skin is shown, but not enough to show too much. I do not think it was an ironic mistake that the hairspray and quote are in line with the her somewhat bare leg. The woman is in a very poised position, and almost looking as if she is saying, “dare me.” Does this image really make women think that if they buy the “sexy hair” product, they will look like her? I think a lot of women in today’s society have the need to look and feel sexy, and some will go to any extent to feel that way- even if that means buying “Big Sexy Hair” hair spray. But why is that? Because today we have such a sex saturated society. Porn sites and magazines are one of the most successful businesses that we have in the United States today. Women have to compete to be seen, it’s no wonder they will buy any product with a beautiful woman thinking that if they use it they will become the same…

    Victoria’s Secret launched its line of Pink products in 50 test markets in 2003. Based on very positive initial results, the company expanded the sub-brand quickly to a national level. With the Pink introduction, Victoria’s Secret hoped to add a new segment to its base: young, hip, and fashionable customers. “Young” in this case means 18 to 30 years of age. More specifically, Pink is geared toward college coeds. According to company spokesman Anthony Hebron, “It’s what you see around the dorm. It’s the fun, playful stuff she needs, but is still fashionable.” The company classifies the Pink line as “loungewear,” a very…
