Hasta La Motion!

“Imprisoned Children” (Crianças Aprisionadas), a print advertising campaign from Abrinq Foundation – Save the Children in Brazil, shows how child labor, often related to the fashion market, is closer to people than you think. Lew’LaraTBWA invited some of Brazil’s leading fashion photographers, professionals working with major international brands in the world and fashion models to participate in the campaign. Each ad shows a picture that could be used for any advertising piece fashion brand, but when we see the detail, we notice a hidden child trapped inside the clothing.

According to Fadel Manir, CCO and partner of Lew’Lara TBWA, the campaign has its concept aimed at awareness: “The idea is not to criticize the fashion industry, but to call people’s attention to a cause as serious as the Child labor “. The campaign begins in print and then unfolds to social networks, direct marketing to journalists and bloggers from the fashion universe and activations at fashion shows.

The fashion industry has provided numerous scandals involving child labor in its production line. This caused major brands to begin to combat this practice, however, NGOs around the world continue to show that this crime is far from over. A major difficulty is that it is a distant consumer problem and the time of purchase, making few people think about it.
