I was distractly watching TV a few days or weeks ago, and I saw (and heard) one of those fashion adverts, about a perfume. I don't care one bit the world of fashion, it usually bores me, but for some reason, I was loving this advert. There was some words said in Italian, and I could understand them, most of them anyway, which got me in a good mood. Then there was something about the model in the advert, and then it finally struck me: the voice and face were the ones of Cate Blanchett. My all-time favourite actress. She was advertising the perfume Si by Giorgio Armani. I am NOT a slave of fashion, I will never Armani, Gucci, or Chanel or what have you. Proof that I am a Philistine when it comes to fashion: the new campaign has been going on for months and I just noticed it. But hey, I love this advert to bits. And I know I once said that this blog does not advertise, but I did at least once uploaded an advert for its artistic and sentimental merit. Ironically, it was also about a perfume. I am not sure if this advert is that artistic or intelligent, but it has Italian and Cate Blanchett, so it is good enough for me.
Hey, I caught about 3/4 of that too, just because of the similarity between French and Italian!
ReplyDeletei love kate blanchett too. it's called st. louis pizza because it is the kind you find in st. louis.
ReplyDelete@Debra-I guess that's how I get most of my Italian.
ReplyDelete@Jaz-I meant what was it that make it specifically the St-Louis kind?
