I am not a fan of re-animating dead celebrities to sell product, however, Marilyn Monroe stars in what I think is this year’s best fashion-related commercial. Chanel very tastefully used Monroe’s images and an historic recording to promote their company’s famous perfume in this advertisment:
I also thought this was a well-done and very smart campaign. Made me, for one, consider giving No. 5 another chance (never liked it in the past, but perhaps I’m older and wiser now?). I do wish they’d ended with her saying “No. 5.” and not gone on to include the “nude” line.
