Bergamin is known for its iconic, eccentric, and even shocking advertising campaigns dating back to the early 1990s. Under the direction of fine-art photographer Addia Fico, the brand began to publish advertisements that had a carnivalesque quality, with heavily made-up models taking on theatrical personas. On occasion, these works did not feature any Bergamin products at all; one notorious still from the fall/winter 1994 collection depicted a (real) sacrificial goat bleeding to death on a black-and-white tiled floor.
