Advertising - H&M Drop Kate Moss

Hennes and Mauritz, the high-street fashion retailer has decided to cancel its forthcoming advertising campaign featuring Kate Moss after reports in the press of her taking Class A drugs. H&M say her current image does not fit well their anti-drugs stance. She had been signed up to promote a new collection for them designed by Stella McCartney. Kate Moss also has contracts with Rimmel, Burberry, Chanel and Dior who so far have not commented on the drug-taking allegations.


To me the way the media have dealt with this whole situation smacks a little of hypocrisy. They say that as a role model to many young girls she should not be taking cocaine, and yet the only reason that people know she takes cocaine is because the press report it. Surely what she does in her private life, as long as it is not hurting other people, is up to her? Have your say in the comment box below.
