The the Italian fashion house that owns the Gucci brand, for featuring a model who looked "unhealthily thin".
The ad featured a woman leaning against a wall wearing a long dress up to her calves. Another image showed a woman sitting on a sofa wearing a skirt showing off her legs.

"Further, her pose elongated her torso and accentuated her waist so that it appeared to be very small.
"We also considered that her sombre facial expression and dark make up, particularly around her eyes, made her face look gaunt."
