The Best Fashion Intimates Ad Campaigns of Spring 2022 Season as chosen by Kenneth Richard
While a certain level of sexuality is needed and welcome for an intimates campaign, our favorites from the season are more about how it can feel to wear underwear – both physically and emotionally – than how it looks. Sex sells, but a palpably positive celebration of confidence, acceptance, or intimacy makes a much stronger impact.
Agent Provocateur served up two campaigns that excellently expressed the brand’s signature smart and sexy subversion of antiquated gender roles and power dynamics.
Saxx eschewed subtlety and went straight for the anatomical importance of well-designed men’s underwear.
Skims tapped some of the most iconic supermodels of our time for a campaign that transformed an already very popular brand into a certified icon.
Here are the Top 10 Intimates Ad Campaigns of Spring 2022 as selected by our Chief Impressionist, Kenneth Richard.
