Britain’s advertising watchdog is cracking down on American Apparel again for appearing to sexualize young girls in its fashion ads. The admonished ad, which shows a pantsless model in a sweater and knee-high socks curled up on an office chair, was banned in the UK. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which has targeted the brand several times before, says the photo “inappropriately sexualized a model who appeared to be a child and was therefore irresponsible.”
