Les chaussures VII


We saw this sign in the Métro leaving Galeries Lafayette en juin and it just seemed so captivating. The shoe department reportedly has over 12,000 pairs in a space of 34,700 square feet!


Do you see that it refers to all the "shoe addicts"? Hummm.... guilty, as accused

  2. Great concept for an ad targeting "des accros aux chaussures"!

  3. The really surprising thing is that there aren't more women suffering from foot ailments due to wearing these things.

  5. Well, it is attention-grabbing, and thought-provoking. Which is basically all you want from an advertisement.

  9. Gringo -- Merci. I like the rouge and also the design.

    Paul -- Oui, c'est moi! Unfortunately, I have passed this down in the gene pool - hah!

    Starman -- Aren't you glad that you are not subject to this fashion demand!

    Brittany -- Advertising in France, and Paris in particular, is fabulous. I love the ads, the windows, the posters, etc.

    Bear -- The ads in the Metro are attention-grabbing and entertaining!

    Virginia -- Did you sleep in that day? Marie and I did try on shoes that day after going to Eglise Madeleine, Laduree, the honey store....Missed you that morning but we met for lunch at Le Reminet

    Alexa -- Definitely... a spree!!

  11. One I love Galleries Lafeyette and two I love the billboards in the metro. I had to be careful sometimes as it was easy to miss a stop.
    Love this! x

  15. Sooz -- I think that the billboard ads are quite arresting -- Don't miss your stop!

    Dianne -- Let's go! That could be a "shoe fix" to the max!

    Jack -- Merci

    Gunn -- Your photos set a high bar.

    Sara Louise -- I agree! With 12,000 pairs I have a BIG pitter pat!

    JM -- Merci. I would think that your ads (in Portugal) are creative as well and certainly compared to our (USA) bland ones.
