If there’s one thing advertising art directors love to do, it’s go retro, especially when that means getting to go all out on hair, makeup, wardrobe and filters with the photo shoot. That said, the approach can sometimes feel a bit shoehorned into being a lazy reference that’s disconnected from the product.
