Paris Vogue’s Controversial Thylane Lena Rose Blondeau Editorial Prompts Push to Ban Sexualization of Children in France

It was widely assumed that the controversial fashion spread was one of the key factors which prompted then-editor Carine Roitfeld‘s departure from Paris Vogue, but the blowback’s still coming.

In response to Blondeau’s appearance in the fashion glossy, a new French government report, Against Hyper-Sexualisation: A New Fight For Equality, by senator and former sports minister Chantal Joanno, calls for a series of legislation to eliminate the sexualization of children. The report calls for a ban on A) the production of adult clothing in child sizes, B) beauty pageants for the under-16 set, C) casting under-16 models in ad campaigns. The report also proposes to mandate school uniforms.
