Contraversal Fashion Ads

CALVIN KLEIN JEANS
-the 1980 Calvin Klein Jeans campaign was controversial because of 15 year old Brooke Shields, who stated. "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins."
-I agree with the controversy 100% the 15 year old should not have been suggesting other things in a jean campaign!
-The designer could have made the ad a lot more appropriate, and focused on just selling the clothing item.

TOM FORD FOR MEN
-The Tom Ford ad was controversial due to the fragrance for men they were selling that showed a fragrance tucked in a female models nether regions.
-I agree totally with this controversy. The ad for cologne should be MEN only, and not so sexual, it is a fragrance not anything else.
-The designer could have just had a man holding the cologne or something different then a woman having it, I think it was so inappropriate.

AMERICAN APPAREL
-The controversy was due to a young model being topless in an ad for socks.
-The controversy was exactly right; the woman should not be topless in an ad for socks! it shouldn't even be showing her upper body, i mean its for her feet!
-The designer could have just showed the models feet, with the socks or something different. There is no need to show the whole model, its only an item for feet.

SISELY
-The controversy was over two models what seemed to be snorting a white string dress, that implied something else.
-I agree. That is totally ridiculous to have models snorting a dress? Did they forget it was to sell the garment.
-The designer could have had just one model, wearing the dress to a big event to show and promote the dress, not unnecessary behavior.

JORDACHE
-The ad was controversial because it featured a topless model in a campaign for jeans.
-I agree 100% that it totally ridiculous, for jeans! Really?!
-The designer needs to embrace the quality of the jeans, not the body of a model.

GUCCI
-The controversy was over a woman’s pubic hair shaved into the letter G, for Gucci. Also a man crouched between her legs.
-I agree with the controversy 3000%. That is just disgusting.
-The designer should have done nothing even close to that ad, that is SO gross.

ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH
-The controversy is over an ad of topless males for their stores.
-I do not agree with this one. I love to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch and I always see their ads, and they are not that inappropriate. It is different for a male to be topless and a female to be topless i think it is okay for them to do it.
-The designers haven't and shouldn't change their ads, it had been the same ever since.

DOLCE & GABBANA
-The controversy was over an image of a half naked man holding down a woman, while other men watched. The controversy was over it showing sexual abuse and disregarding woman.
-I definitely agree, that is kind of offensive to me, as a woman.
-The designers could have done something different then what seems like promoting sexual violence.

DIESEL
-The controversy was over the "Be Stupid" ad campaign that encouraged people to be stupid and take risks.
-I wouldn't say i agree, because i do think people need to take risks and if they fail, they learn from them.
-The designers could have changed the title to maybe. "Be Risky", not "Be Stupid".

YVES SAINT LAURENT
-The controversy was over an ad that showed a naked English model for an Opium fragrance. It was said to be disregarding to woman.
-I agree, that is crazy they had a naked model, and in fact it is disregarding to woman, it is very inappropriate.
-The designers could have had the model wearing cloths! And maybe just holding the fragrance, made it less sexual.
