Thanks for the Ad: Intermix Fall 2011

If these washed fuzzy effect ads were for any fashion label or boutique, I'd write about how they rile me up for an Autumn of marled sweaters and textured jackets 

But the fact that these grainy ads are for Intermix contributes an extra layer of intelligent appeal since the visuals feel like they are made of mixed media, mixed layers, mixed sources

I can see these images in windows, on shopping bags and in magazines, so there's a versatile outlet for them too

Kudos Intermix, for capturing an artistic representation of both brand and season.
