Hello boys. The one and only Wonderbra

Poster
1994 (printed)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This is a poster advertising a bra made by Playtex. This poster campaign, featuring the model Eva Herzigova, was unusual in that underwear publicity had previously been largely confined to women’s magazines. This is a reduced version of the huge 48-sheet poster pasted up on the hoardings. The campaign was provocative with challenging slogans like ‘Hello Boys’ and ‘Or are you just pleased to see me?’
