Hepburn and AC/DC in new Gap ad
The “Keep it Simple” campaign features original film footage of style icon Audrey Hepburn dancing in the movie “Funny Face,” juxtaposed to the AC/DC song “Back in Black.” The campaign relaunches Gap’s skinny black pants and includes the tagline, “It’s Back–The Skinny Black Pant.” This marks the first time in more than 12 years that a film clip of Hepburn has been authorized to endorse a commercial product in North America. “We wanted to do something really special to relaunch our skinny black pants and thought who better to showcase them than actress Audrey Hepburn–an iconic woman famous for dressing with sophistication and classic style,” said Trey Laird, creative director of the company. The 30- and 60-second spots will air through Oct. 5. The campaign follows disappointing sales results for Gap Inc. in August.
