Naomi Campbell and Shell - vanished advert

Celebrities and chemicals - it's hard to keep them apart. The Blog is indebted to a friend at Shell who recalled a memorable advert in which supermodel Naomi Campbell douses herself in Shell's Helix lubricant oil.

There are a few references online to this advert, in a Dutch newspaper and a Dutch treatise on communications, but all trace of it has disappeared from the Shell catalogue of adverts or Youtube. 

 

"Supermodel Naomi Campbell laat olie van Shell vloeien

 

Woensdag 13-07-1994: Shell huurt voor veel geld Naomi Campbell in om zijn nieuwste motorolie aan de man te brengen. Top-olie en een topmodel samengevoegd, zegt het concern ...

 

De motorolie Shell Helix is reelvuldig via televisiespotjes aangeprezen. Het spotje toont een goudkleurige motorolie die over het naakte lichaam stroomt van het bekende fotomodel Naomi Campbell, terughoudend en sesnueel gefilmd."

 

Personally, the Blog is more a fan of Shell's Ferrari advert (possibly the most expensive ad of all time) but I can see that the Naomi ad (in her pre-blood diamond days) would have a certain attraction.
