I have no idea who shot these or I'd give credit, but if anyone does know or knows anything about this brand, please share. I'd like to check out this photographer's other work.
Full Version: Dress to Kill
A friend of mine just sent me these in email in one of those silly chain emails which I normally just delete. Anyway, I was taken by the point of the ad work, the grit and the fashion flair of the pieces in general. Brilliant, funny, and just plain awesome.

I did a little research online to see if I could locate more info. I found several forums that talked about these pics, but on one forum there was this entry:
"It originated in an advertisement in the late 1990s. “Dress to Kill” was a very popular ad campaign by Wallis, a fashion retail company that is part of the Arcadia Group in the UK. I’ve identified the ad agency that produced the campaign and I’ve identified Bob Carlos Clarke as the photographer. I’ve also located Clarke’s website. Unfortunately he died recently but there is contact information on his website to tell you where you can get his works."
The forum was in 2006, and here is the link if anyone want to read it: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=735737
Apparantly this ad campaign was a big hit!
