Florabotanica by Balenciaga My advert is on Florabotanica perfume by Balenciaga. The background is covered in Ghesquière flower cut outs. I think the Ghesquière flowers were used because they are hip and modern flowers for this reason I think the perfume is targeted at young, hip, and modern ladies/women, Ghesquière flowers are flower prints that were created a few years ago. A white background was used and this works well with the bold Ghesquière flowers. The message behind this is to show how bold the scent of the perfume is, like once you wear the perfume, heads will turn towards your direction. The perfume was positioned in the middle of the advert with the girl standing next to it, this is what the advertisers want you to notice. They want the perfume to be the centre of attention in the advert. The lady used in the advert is Kirsten Stewart, in the advert she is wearing a very bold structured dress and the way in which she is standing also seems daring and bold having her hands in her pocket which implies that she is prominent and confident. She was probably chosen to be the face of the perfume because she has a very audacious personality which implies that once again the advertisers are trying to pass on the message of bold, powerful and pungent perfume scent. My advert disagrees with Goffman’s theory in the way which women are perceived in advertisements. He believed that women were seen to be the weaker sex and he also observed that in most adverts women had parts of their bodies dismembered. This is actually opposite in my advert where the female is bold and in control and looks powerful. He also observed that they had sexual, blank or inviting facial expressions but the female in my advert has a “You don’t want to mess with me” facial expression. Overall I think the advert is very bold and powerful which is something you cannot miss while flipping
