The advertisement I chose is the Victoria's Secret newly-launched "Eau So Sexy" Fragrance Ad from Hong Kong magazine ELLE. "Eau So Sexy" is not merely a product but a commodity fetish. It has a very high exchange value despite the fact that it is not a living necessity. The high exchange value of the perfume doesn’t lie in the use value but the social meaning or connotation surrounding the brand “Victoria’s Secret.” First of all, this perfume is emptied with the meanings of the production. Consumers

It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.” However, to claim that all music lacks depth and only cares about consumerism, is rather generalized opinion considering there is an incredible amount of songs that are filled with emotion and meaning that are still consumed just as eagerly as ones thats aren’t. Sure, in
CHAPTER I: COUNTERCULTURE OF CONSUMPTION THE COMPLICATED MILLENIAL It goes without saying that today’s consumption society is composed of educated spenders. These affluent consumers are extremely brand conscious, thanks to the multi-billion advertising industry for luxury campaign, as well as the infinite amount the fashion media, from the traditional hard copies to digital platforms. Consumers know exactly what to buy, where, when and how to purchase these premium-priced or luxury products—regardless
Corsets first appeared in Europe and reached the zenith of its popularity during the Victorian Times. They were the biggest fashion trend until 1920 when the flapper and waist-less style took over the fashion industry. However, corsets came back in fashion this season--in spring-summer 2017.

The obvious claim in this advertisement is intimacy between a man and a woman. The ad suggests that rather than their connection, it is about a woman seeking to find herself through this perfume.
