The Nolita ad that features Isabelle Caro, an anorexic model, has now been banned. It was targeted by Italy’s Publicity Control Institute, which said that the image “commercially exploited” anorexia nervosa and violated two rules of its code of conduct.
A bit too late to ban it, it has been in the media worldwide. Toscani calls the ban “censorship” and is considering legal action.
