Guardian’s weekend supplement. We read adverts as a whole‚ unconsciously absorbing all of the elements‚ signs‚ implicit and explicit‚ that are designed to work in unison. The mental short-hand we use for deciphering pictures and words to decode them‚ which is especially pertinent to advertising‚ immediately informs us that the advertisement is not for pleasure‚ but for our attention; to encourage us to choose one brand over another‚ and to consume.

The main themes in both the print and TV adverts present DKNY as a perfume and a brand as both seductive and desirable‚ yet accepted as professional for successful businesswomen globally. Focussing on the print advert‚ the representation of the brand through the model fits with the male gaze ideology‚ applying to this advert even though the product is targeted at women.

The advert was published in a magazine for their spring issue and caused a short term rise of 21% in revenue however‚ it sparked worldwide controversy as the image strongly suggests a stylised gang rape.
