Video of the Day: “We never forget…”

Earlier this week we highlighted a very simple yet stunning ad directed by Brazil’s Washington Olivetto for Folha da Sao Paulo. For our final post of the week we will revisit another award-winning work by Olivetto. This time it is a tender, heart-warming commercial for a Brazilian lingerie brand. While one would associate overt sexuality with lingerie ads (see: Victoria’s Secret) Olivetto takes a much different approach to create a highly memorable commercial (video link):

Note: The linked ads above are Not Safe for Work.

Have a great weekend everyone!
