Roberto Cavalli ad featuring British model Georgia May Jagger with an H-like symbol on her neck has caused uproar among Sufi Muslims who say the ad “degrades” one of its religious symbols, The Independent reported on Monday.
The ad, which promotes the designer's fragrance, showed the model posing in her underwear with the H-like emblem, similar to the one used by Sufi Muslims to refer to God, on her wrist and neck.
Many protesters gathered in front of London’s department store Harrods in response to the ad, according to the report.
Other protests took place in Chicago as part of a global campaign to have the symbol removed from the Italian fashion label’s campaigns.
Demonstrations also took place in California, Texas and Germany and a UK petition has been signed by over 3,000 people. Cavalli, which has used the image in campaigns since 2011, says the symbols are not the same.
A spokesman for the fashion house said they are “deeply saddened by the distress expressed by’ the Sufi community but that they hope the EU ruling will ‘convince the Sufist religion of the complete good faith and the groundlessness of their requests," according to The Independent.
Jagger is the youngest daughter of Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger and model Jerry Hall.
The fashion figure has modeled for brands including Chanel, Versace and Vivienne Westwood and appeared in the London Olympics Opening Ceremony as one of the representatives of British fashion.
HA
Tell us how you really feel.
Why is that Biitch bucktoothed? Oh, wait...old Mick looks like Bugs Bunny.
I tell you what’s outrageous... the fact that Labour outlawed dentistry in the UK a century ago.
Apparently they have changed...
The Most Peaceful Muslim Sect Turns FANATIC And Are Preparing For The Caliphate
Had to look it up to confirm, but with a mouth like that I figure she was Mick’s kid.
What’s the old Rodney Dangerfield line “Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it”
That reminded me of a quote from “Zoolander”.
(Z: ) Did you ever think that maybe there’s more to life than being really, really... really... ridiculously good looking? I mean... maybe we should be doing something more meaningful with our lives. Like helping people...
(B: ) Uh, Derek, what people?
(Z: ) I don’t know, people who need help!
(R: ) Models help people! They make them feel good about themselves
(M: ) They also show them how to dress cool and how to wear their hair in interesting ways
(Z: ) I guess so...
“That girl could eat corn on the cob and leave a row behind.”
Disappointing but not surprising. It appears that the only civilized ones left belong to the sect that the rest have always regarded as apostates (Baha’i).
I blame those who cave to their demands. They're the ones who encourage Muzzies to keep asking for more.
LOL! That is a great movie, I have to see that again. The best is the gas station fight. NOOOOOOOOO.......BOOM!

Maybe two back to back ULUs(Eskimo knife)?

I think it’s psychological saturation. When your *first* thought is “Star Wars,” it’s clearly a serious condition.
Insert British Dentistry joke here...
There are a couple of guys I know that went absolutely wild for women with a front tooth gap like that. I never understood it myself, but to each their own I suppose.
