Yves Saint Laurent Adverts Banned

The unhealthiness scale in models has always been a theme of controversy in the fashion industry. The UK’s Advertising Authority has just banned a Yves Saint Laurent advert that features a “unhealthily underweight” model. The black and white images portray a woman who thighs and knees of a similar length and a prominent rib cage according to the regulator. First featured in Elle UK, the advert has still not been commented on by the brand. Yves Saint Laurent seems to be in a lot of trouble this year with its Black Opium campaign cleared after glamorousing drug use. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
