Anorexic ads shock Italy

 

General Culture, General Photography

“A photograph of a naked anorexic woman appeared on Monday in Italian newspapers and on billboards to highlight the effects of the illness during Milan fashion week while promoting a fashion brand.” (story) You can see the images (plus some commentary) here on Andrew’s blog. The problem I have with this is that I just cannot believe that fashion company really cares about anorexia (of course, they claim they do).
