Marguerite Sauvage’s character illustrations for Rexona have been animated for a series of four TV commercials for their women’s skin care brand’s new deodorant. The commercials, which were animated by Passion Pictures (UK) and produced by Gorgeous Enterprises and Pioneer Productions, feature Marguerite’s paperdoll illustration exercising and looking for the perfect outfit all while coping with the pain of underarm friction and razor-burn. The charming and funny ads have been noticed by the ad community internationally and have recently been featured as a top select on Creativity Online’s Adcritic section, videospotnow.com, and youtube.com with links to view all the spots in the series.

Marguerite Sauvage has illustrated for French fashion brand Longchamp. The illustration can be seen  in the windows of Longchamp boutiques around the world.

Longchamp wanted to create a “family portrait” using Marguerite’s unique animal-people. Each “family member” is printed separately on cardboard and carries one of the handbags from Longchamp’s current collection. Marguerite also designed the wood-style graphic that is used in the background.
