Italian-Ukrainian shoe company Luciano Carvari's infamous for its over-the-top ad campaigns, and we think its most recent shoot takes the cake. The campaign, called "molecule colorate," according to the folks at Copyranter, features topless women in, uh, DNA costumes, a depiction of an orgy, a wedding (complete with blackface), pregnancy, birth, and death. All whilst wearing pretty fierce footwear.
