Taking inspiration from the booming porn industry of the 1990s, Cohen's new campaign shows influence from the hedonistic hills of Hollywood.
“Authenticity was key,” she notes in a press release. “We deliberately gave the actors their roles only in the morning on the day of filming - the same way it happened on adult filming in the 90s. This, of course, led to a clumsy, deadpan delivery and numerous errors, which in my opinion made the whole thing even more charming."
The result was a series of tongue-in-cheek films, each written by co-creator David Owen—also, the creator of IDEA Books. The ad campaign featuring Natasha Voinovich and model Tony Ward—Madonna's former partner—was developed by Hayley Wollens.
