People aren't too happy about this suit company using half-naked women in their ads
The campaign has just started and it’s all kicking off.
ON TUESDAY, DUTCH menswear company Suit Supply launched their new ad campaign for 2016 – and it hasn’t gone down well.
The new campaign is called ‘Toy Boys’. In just a few days it’s come in for a lot of criticism.
Why? Well, it’s a series of shots of male models in suits
With various half-naked women in suggestive poses
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
And some shots show lads sliding off the female models as well
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
It quickly came in for widespread criticism on Twitter
With people claiming that the shots are straight-up sexist
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The controversy has already been covered by many Dutch outlets and Buzzfeed - but the company themselves haven’t responded to the criticism.
People have been threatening to take away their custom though
Suit Supply have had to respond to accusations of sexism in the past – so they are well used to it
We’ll have to wait and see how they handle this one.
