Marc Jacobs' Ads Featuring Dakota Fanning Banned From UK

Filed Under: Anglophilia Marc Jacobs Dakota Fanning Ad Campaigns Fragranz!

Really, this ad was considered too provocative?

Marc Jacobs latest perfume ad for Oh Lola! featuring the lovely Dakota Fanning has been pulled from the UK.

The British Advertising Standards Authority finds the ad showing the 17-year-old with a perfume bottle between her legs to be sexualizing of a child.

According to their statement:

"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."

Do U find the ad inappropriate???
