Louis Vuitton for Men and the City

An iconic and tired brand in Chicago since the Sex and the City movie, but one that still pitches itself without a single ad. Overpitches, maybe, now that every woman (whatever her age or occupation) seems to have at least one LV bag. Suddenly a man holds it, and it is new again. Sophisticated instead of couture. Billboards can't do this (well, not without Gorbachev, at least).

We Eat Tourists for Lunch

The Science of Dry Language

A subtle advertisement for thirst by the Chicago Transit Authority.
Evian would be wise to place a placard right beside it.
