And they release their first tv ad via PSFK
The “media” has a SOCIAL media addiction…and it is problematic via Huffington Post

Take off a Wonderbra’s model’s clothes with a 2D code (brilliant?) via YouTube
People are still talking about how the Election is using social media to lure younger voters via NY Times
And completely randomly, Karl Lagerfeld has made a hula hoop bag (couldn’t resist!) via PSFK

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. -Ayn Rand
