TKMaxx Chooses Real Shoppers for their ME BY ME Spring/Summer 2014 Ad Campaign



The campaign centres around the insight that people are at their happiest and most confident when they are their true selves. It aims to inspire shoppers to unlock their individuality and celebrate their own individual sense of style, including 82 year old photographer Martin Gordon from London who doesn’t plan to ever retire!



The shoppers were plucked from obscurity whilst browsing in stores spanning the UK, Ireland, Poland and Germany and signed up to star in TK Maxx’s Me. By Me. campaign.



The cast were taken on a trip of a lifetime to Cape Town, South Africa, where for 10 days they were encouraged to experiment with style and take part in a series of fun and experimental activities to help unlock their Me. By Me. mind-set.
With no scripts or storyboards, the cast were given free rein to shape the direction of the campaign and experiment with a wide choice of clothing and accessories from stores to create their defining looks. TK Maxx simply acted as the fashion (and fun) facilitator.



They all found looks they loved at up 60% less. With 1000s of brands, unique gems and the latest styles delivered daily, everyone can find more ways to be themselves.
The shoppers will see themselves appear on television, billboards and in magazines and newspapers across Europe as part of the labels-for-less retailer’s new spring/summer 2014 campaign Me. By Me.

Video of Unilever's Compressed Ultimate Men's Weekend

Last weekend saw the launch of the new Unilever male compressed deodorants- as a lucky group of competition winners experienced the ‘Best Year of a Man’s Life’ compressed into one weekend!


After checking in to London’s Hoxton Hotel, the group climbed aboard the VIP Compressed bus to their first experience – an exclusive behind the scenes tour of the Sky Sports News studios. The group were then joined by two presenters from the channel, Charlie Webster and Hayley McQueen, for an evening of bowling at London’s All Star Lanes.
On Saturday, the group of competition winners headed to the home of the Lotus F1 Team, courtesy of Suremen’s Official Team Partnership, for an exclusive tour of the state-of-the-art facility. During the tour they were given unique insight into the fast paced world of Formula 1 - including a glimpse inside the state-of-the-art aerodynamics lab and the research and development centre - as well as getting to test their driving skills on a simulator.

Later that night they partied at an exclusive Lynx VIP event at the secluded Mayor of Scary Cat Town bar. Comedian Matt Richardson started off the nights entertainment with jokes centered around the powerful Lynx effect – he was later spotted helping himself to cans of Lynx from the ice buckets provided, street magician Ben Hart wowed the guests with his quick hands and a special Radio 1 DJ performance from Jameela Jamil rounded off the day. Jameela was in top spirits at the event, getting everyone up on their feet with a rousing set and singing along to each of the tracks.

The weekend was finished in style with VIP box seats for England vs. Wales in the RBS 6 Nations at Twickenham on Sunday, thanks to Dove Men+Care, Official Supplier of England Rugby.  On their way to the box the guests bumped into Sir Clive Woodward who joked he’d happily pose for a picture with them if they let him squeeze into the lift because he was late for the BBC.

As a special surprise former England captain Lewis Moody and current Wales player Ryan Jones joined the group for lunch and stayed to watch the match. Lewis and Ryan traded banter back and forth throughout the match, with Ryan even joking that Wales were losing because he wasn’t playing, he added that it took him 30 years to even find his hamstring – a reference to his recent injury and the reason behind him not being match fit.

The Compressed range uses the latest in product development to compress each can in size whilst crucially maintaining the same level of ingredient, meaning it will last just as long as regular sized aerosols.

This has been achieved by reducing by half the amount of propellant required to deliver each spray. As a result, another key product benefit of the revolutionary new cans is a carbon footprint reduction of up to 25 per cent.

Paul O’Connor Brand Manager for Unilever Compressed Deodorants, said:
“The demands of modern society mean that young men are under pressure to fit more and more into their lives and are looking for advances products and technology to allow them to do this. The new Compressed range of deodorants uses advance technology to compress the same amount of deodorant into a smaller can, creating a more efficient product that still delivers the same result”

Ong-Oaj Pairam Autumn/Winter 2014 - Menswear Capsule Collection

This AW14 season, Ong-Oaj Pairam added a men’s capsule wardrobe to complement his womenswear collection.

Ong was inspired by Disney super villains and the markings on dangerous animals, but also kept in the mix his love of the 1950’s way of dressing.  His colour palette ranged from the toxic brights of acid yellow, oranges, blues and greens, warning us of danger, to the more subdued monochrome of blacks and greys.

 But don’t be fooled by the monochrome palette. On closer inspection this seemingly innocent stripe print shows a row of crocodiles and leopards lurking and ready to pounce.


And from afar, this print may look like dogstooth, but in reality it is a collection of silhouettes of the poison dart frog, you could say it is a 'frogstooth' pattern.. Ong also designed the suede shoes, using snakeskin print in metallic blue and gold leather on the tips.

The brightly coloured jackets were embellished with hand embroidered leopard prints in tonal shades.  Some just scattered on the collar or hemline and sleeve cuffs, whilst others covered the whole body of the jacket.
Dangerous has never looked so dapper!

Ong-Oaj Pairam’studio is based in Brighton and for bespoke pieces from the collection email for more information on info@ong-oajpairam.com
