Sisley's new ad campaign promotes drugs

Sisley Ad
Sisley Ad
Sisley went down the wrong path here with this ad. I do appreciate bold ads, but these days we have enough of bad role models, no need to include them in promotions. The new ad slogan is "Fashion Junkie" which doesn't leave any doubt regarding the intentions of this photo. Looking at first the idea seemed smart, until you realize the creepiness. The industry has been trying hard to clean up their act with healthy looking models that eat, exercise and don't do drugs, and then a company like Sisley goes and promotes it again. Someone needs to tell them that Heroin chic is so out of fashion, and drugs are not the best way to get people to buy your products. I'm sad for Sisley, because I actually like their clothes.

It could just be a play on the Kate Moss mess, which I believe was overblown. It looks like Sisley does to. Sharp ad though nonetheless

Statement on a fake Sisley campaign 20 July, 2007 In the recent days, images which are told to be part of the new Sisley advertising campaign have been published in internet. One of these images shows some girls "sniffing a vest". The allusion to drugs and alcohol is more than clear. We would like to clearly state that the Sisley brand (and the Benetton company) has nothing to do with these images and therefore we refuse to be linked with them. Please also note that these images infringe Benetton's rights in the Sisley trademark. Our Legal Department has therefore been retained to take all advisable actions to protect the company's rights and interests. The next Sisley campaign will instead have a very special testimonial, Stephanie Seymour, worldwide recognized as an icon of fashion and beauty.
