SHE-DEVIL FOR A SPORTS DRINK -- SUPER-MODELING MEETS SWORD & SORCERY.
NOTE: I'm gonna be knee-deep in Japanese beverages later today, so, I thought this was pretty kool. Nijiya Market, anyone? And it's such a treat whenever I'm able to go!
PIC INFO: Spotlight on American supermodel Cindy Crawford donning fantasy-style/sword & sorcery armor (designed by Kow Yokoyama) in a print ad for the Japanese sports drink Pocari Sweat, c. 1986.
OVERVIEW: "In 1986, two years after dropping out of her chemical engineering course and moving to New York to give modelling a go, Cindy Crawford graced the cover of "Vogue." That same year, unbeknownst to many, she also starred in a particularly wild Japanese sports drink ad. The video has Cindy donning Gladiator-esque armour and raising a sword to the face of a laser-eyed black panther. The visual was designed by famed French cartoonist Moebius, who was also responsible for this Labyrinth-like follow up in which Cindy rides on the back of a giant bird over barren landscapes covered in prehistoric animals. All we need now is a surreal recreation with Kaia Gerber."
