According to Elle UK, the Advertising Standards Authority in
the United Kingdom has placed a ban on the recent ad campaign of saint Laurents
which featured an unhealthy thin model. The Saint Laurent campaign became a concern because of the
"particular focus to the model’s chest, where her rib cage was visible and
appeared prominent," as well as her legs, since "her thighs and knees
appeared a similar width." This thinness is emphasized further by her
chunky platform shoes, and after consideration of these factors together, the
ASA ruled that Willems appears "unhealthily underweight" in the ads,
therefore making them irresponsible.
