YSL no comment on ad ban for 'unhealthily thin' model
An Yves Saint Laurent ad has been banned for featuring a model with a visible rib cage and knees and thighs of a similar width.
The ad, which appeared in Elle magazine, featured a black and white photo of a woman described by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) as “unhealthily underweight”, wearing a short black dress and high heels and lying on the floor with her eyes closed.
