The H&M interpretation of Romeo and Juliet

H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) have created a 5.45 min TV denim advertising spot / short movie giving a modern interpretation to the Romeo and Juliet (or West Side Story).

Directed by David LaChapelle, the short film features singer Mary J. Blige with Tamyra Gray as Juliet.

From a marketing point of view this is one of the examples where, in our search to grab consumers attention, advertising meets art and does it in a very good way. Challenging the :30’’ TVC format with one of the most beautiful century proven stories to tell.
And there is the Denim mention at the very end of the spot.

Share and Enjoy
