D&G Ad
Women's groups called this ad violent,
the designers called it an 'erotic dream.'
In their advertisement for the latest S/S 2007 Collection, the designer duo behind D & G tried to pull a fast one on woman activists' group with their controversial print-ad, featuring a blank-looking woman pinned down by a half-nude man, with other men looking on.
To me, this 'Gang-rape' ad may be artistic and provocative, but it is also suggestive of sexual violence on women, and demeaning women's position in society. It is penetrating the minds of teenage fashion-wannabes, who relate naughty to cool. That is so wrong.
I wonder if this is the trend, where consumers are no longer attracted to the good 'ol advertisements of beautiful, stylish women, clad in pretty clothes.
I find these ads pretty, don't you?
