We’ve been bombarded with claims of fashion cleaning up its act. Underage models are being banned from the catwalk and the backlash against size zero models continues. But what’s this? Is Sisley sending out mixed messages with its new ad campaign? With two models depicted as “fashioin junkies”, never has drug use been so explicitly glamorized in an advert.

    i completly agrre.. this has alwaays been my point of view.All these designers are taking this too far doing everything they can to sell there brand! though they are making a slight difference in som e areas they really need to do a whole rehab fashion make over! i mean think of Naomi cambell and tyra banks to of the biggest supermodels and they aren’t little sticky druggees!

  1. [...] As craftily pointed out by the folks at My Fashion Life, Sisley is including cocaine references in its fall advertisements. While some may consider the label’s “Fashion Junkie” campaign a bold, tongue-in-chic statement that recalls Guy Bourdin’s iconic imagery, my eco-minded self couldn’t help but think that the photographs might end up being a bit counter-productive.
