Only a few days after Dolce & Gabbana was forced to pull a controversial ad in Spain, Giorgio Armani is the next major designer that may be forced to do the same. Spanish authorities are in the process of determining whether an Armani Junior ad portrays a child in an improperly sexual manner.
The ad in question (shown above) features a little girl wearing a bikini with her arm draped around another little girl. According to Arturo Canalda, head of child interests for Madrid’s regional government, parents have complained about the advertisement. “It’s an advert where little girls aren’t portrayed in the attitude of little girls,” he said. They are wearing make-up and they are about six or seven.” Is this another case of tasteless advertising? What’s your opinion?
