Brief: Awareness campaign for the seamless Triumph Bijou bra which is invisible under a T shirt.
Solution: A completely white page. A headline printed in white varnish was just visible enough to intrigue the reader. When held up to light at the right angle the bra shape and a headline could be read - 'The Bijou. It’s even harder to see under a T shirt.’ The sign-off was ‘The Triumph Bijou, the invisible T shirt bra.'
