If the Freudian unconscious does not exist, advertisers waste millions communicating with it.



Here Armani returns to the theme of a strong woman conquering an urban streetscape that was used in 2011 Number 1 and in 2010. This version features an androgynous figure.


This intended audience for this ad is those who mentally undress men. The graphic’s targets either actually buy clothes for a significant male-other or have significant input into that purchasing decision. The image focuses on the male model’s crotch. This wet man’s standing perpendicular in the pool provides a strong sexual reference.
