BBC News: 'Unhealthily underweight model' Yves Saint Laurent advert banned
"An Yves Saint Laurent advertisement featuring an "unhealthily underweight" model has been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
The advert, which appeared in Elle UK magazine, featured a photo of a woman whose rib cage was visible and appeared prominent, the regulator said.
It upheld a reader's complaint that the advert was "irresponsible" for using a model who appeared unhealthily thin.
Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) and Elle UK declined to comment on the ruling.
The ASA said YSL "indicated that they did not agree with the complainant's view that the model was unhealthily thin" but did not provide a detailed response."
