JC Penney‘s focus on the high school market is given a horror twist with ‘Zombie’, a TV ad released in July. A group of students talking on the school playing fields find themselves being chased by living dead clothes without bodies. They run for safety in the school gymnasium but find that they’re trapped. The ad reaches its climax as the students are stripped of their fashionable clothes by the zombies. The students realise they’re safe as soon as they’ve become fashion victims.

i think the idea might be that they become more fashionable, not less
