With Tactel you can make a statement for all to see. The incredible range of tactel fabrics create imaginative, distinctive fashions. All with a luxurious soft touch and feel. Look for Tactel in today’s leading designer collections.
We don’t get it. Is there even something to get? Discuss.

I've been staring at this for five minutes, and I think I've decoded the phrase written on her... I think it means that with this fabric they're selling you can wear clothes and yet feel like you're wearing nothing because they are just that soft. However, the color change thing, the position she's in, etc. - I can't figure out any of the rest.
Very much enjoy the site, by the way. Hardly a day goes by that I don't see something here that makes me ask "how can they really be saying this?"

The interpretation that came to my mind was a play on the racist slang "oreo", as though this fabric would let you stand out (be black and whatever that brings you--[insert your favorite stereotype about blacks here]) but also be under cover (be white, or pass as white, and thus accrue the benefits of white privelege). It's incredibly disturbing, and as Will pointed out the position she's in is also weird.

I work with overhead projectors a lot in my line of work (teaching), and I'm pretty sure that the top half of her is in bright projector light, the bottom half in darkness. The words are projected on her. I don't think it has anything to do with skin color at all. I DO think it has something to do with sexually provocative positions. That doesn't mean it makes any sense.
