England Bans Marc Jacobs Dakota Fanning Ad

The British Advertising Standards Authority has pulled an ad for the Marc Jacobs fragrance, Oh Lola. The ad depicts actress Dakota Fanning sitting with a perfume bottle between her legs.

The agency described the ad: “We noted that the model was holding up the perfume bottle which rested in her lap between her legs and we considered that its position was sexually provocative. We understood the model was 17 years old but we considered she looked under the age of 16. We considered that the length of her dress, her leg and position of the perfume bottle drew attention to her sexuality. Because of that, along with her appearance, we considered the ad could be seen to sexualise a child.” [Telegraph]
