M&S ad banned over 'unhealthily thin' model
Marks & Spencer ad featuring 'unhealthily thin' model banned by Advertising Standards Authority for portraying the model in an irresponsible manner with clothing and pose emphasizing her thinness. M&S must ensure future images do not depict unhealthy thinness. Despite stopping the ad, M&S defended its inclusive clothing range in response to the ruling, stating it promotes aspirational fashion responsibly.
