## Key points

- Mia Goth was 22 when the Miu Miu advert was banned.
- The ASA said it sexualised a child.
- Goth and the brands defended the campaign.

## Summary

Miu Miu’s 2015 fashion advert featuring Mia Goth was banned by the UK Advertising Standards Authority, which ruled that it presented a child in a sexualised way. Goth was 22, and the decision drew attention to how the campaign’s styling and her youthful appearance could be interpreted, despite her being an adult.

The advert showed Goth reclining on a bed, seen through a partly open doorway, and appeared in British Vogue. The ASA said it was irresponsible and likely to cause serious offence; Goth, Miu Miu and Vogue defended it, with Goth describing it as a beautiful piece of art and saying she did not see it as sexual. At the time, Goth was early in her acting career and less widely recognised than she is today.
