Missoni:

Gender has seemed to find its way into a ton of ads and print lately. Marc jacobs recently featured Cole Mohr in dresses with handbags showing off his feminine side. Same goes for Luke Worhl who was shot in heels and a feather boa for his Dazed and Confused photoshoot. Then there was Missoni who recently did a photoshoot that was very sugguestive towards lesbianism. The images show one girl assume the facial and body language that a male would display while the other still seems to maintain her female aspet of relationship.

These days, anything goes when it comes to gender, sexual preference, or fetishism. So why not display this in advertising? Bigger name fashion houses like Missoni are even playing on this idea, probebly haveing something to do with how much lesbianism has been in the news lately (think Lidsay and Sam). Whatever the reason, these ads are surely very attention driven.
