Rehab -Yes or No?
Features | Michele Obi | July 16, 2007
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.
But love it or hate it, I think its time fashion did a stint in rehab and sorted out whether it wants to clean up or stay dirty!

i will tell ya what so many under-age models are being exploited
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!
Well, I’m only 13 years old, i’m french and i love fashion…
But this campaign repulse me !!
Yuck !!
It is like SISLEY says : take cocaine, you will be fashion.
I think it’s sooo dumb!!!
although in this ad they may have gone too far, who cares? people should find it in themselves not to be conned into this sort of trickery that drugs is ok. so what if they have used drugs to sell, drugs are addictive and clearly in this ad so is fashion. love it.
