Shock & Soul – Old dying people ?


Shock & Soul is a London vintage clothing store. Its press campaign is based on provocation:

 



Silk dress coming soon”

That is to say “as soon as she'll die”. The innuendo is well understandable, but is this morbid joke bad or good to the brand ?

The Advertising Standards Authority received a complaint that the ad was offensive so that we can deduce lots of press readers reacted to this. But wasn't it the aim of the campaign ?
Having impact on consumers by being dividing ?


Let's debate !
