..."oo la la"...controversial campain in french Vogue....



...I have come across these pictures a few times today,it seems that a lot of people have very strong feelings about the fact french Vogue decided to publish this campaign using very young girls all vamped up...i can see the point of the outraged person thinking that once again the fashion industry has crossed the line..isn't there a limit to how young a girl can be, to be exposed to the world like this in a magazine?...i can't stop but being reminded of children's beauty pageant when looking at these pictures..ok minus the complete tackiness, but no less controversial in my opinion... glamourising young girls beyond their age has been done before...i am sure that from the magazine's point of view, there is no such thing as bad publicity and i must admit that if anything i am glad it has raised some interesting questions.... we use children as models to sell products all the time,is it the fact this particular shoot has the girls being glamourised which is inappropriate? or the fact some publication might be prepared to do anything to sell a magazine?... you decide....
