The line for what is industry appropriate thin and too thin in the modeling industry is easily blurred—and fashion label Gucci has crossed the line, according to the Advertising Standards Authority of Britain.

Fashion label Gucci acted “irresponsible” when it featured a woman who appeared “unhealthily thin” for Alessandro Michele’s Cruise 2016 Collection. The ad first appeared on the Times website in December of 2015.

The line between 'thin' and 'too thin' is a hot topic in the fashion industry.
