The iconic imagery of Kate Moss floating above the catwalk draped in layers of swooshing fabric surely springs to mind when you see the new Cadbury Flake advert right? Well the McQueen house thought so too and might be set to sue the chocolate giant on the grounds that it is just too similar to their previous works. But the story goes deeper...the brains who McQueen collaborated with to produce the iconic imagery also happens to be the same brain behind the advert for Cadbury. Hence the similarities.
Cadbury are adamant that they have done nothing wrong as it was Baillie Walsh's creative flourish and not theirs. Surely imitation is imitation, and their brand name is slapped all over it so technically Cadbury are in hot water...
if it's the same guy that did it then it's not really ripping someone else off, it's just some guy who is struggling to find something new to do. Whatever, the add drags on and the music is suicidal, despite the beautiful image
