The advertisement shown above, created by Dolce and Gabbana, was banned in Italy. Why? Because it suggested gang rape. And really, you just can’t deny that. I think it’s horrible that a major fashion label such as D&G even creates an ad like this.
The IAP (Advertising Self-Discipline Institute) that made the decision to ban the ad stated the following: “The ad offended the dignity of the woman, in the sense that the feminine figure is shown in a degrading manner. The woman has an alienated expression, with an absent look.”
Italian politicians demanded from the IAP that the advertisement was banned and they agreed to that.
I really don’t understand what went on in the heads of the people who created this advertisement. Why does a D&G send out the message that this is normal? Why use a picture of a woman pinned to the ground, looking absent and surrounded my men? I find it disappointing that in this feminist time woman apparently still are looked at as if they are objects.
