Marithé François Girbaud
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marithé François Girbaud is a French based clothing company founded in 1938 by husband and wife, François and Marithé Girbaud.
In the United States, the brand has gained popularity in the urban communities of the United States. Most popular are the Shuttle jeans, which have knee and ankle adjustable velcro straps that come in a large variety of colours to match outfits.
Sophie Arie of the Guardian reports on the city of Milan banning this Marithé François Girbaud, a French fashion house, ad [1] from being postered, billboarded, etc., in Milan:
- Their decision follows a ruling by the city advertising watchdog last month. This Last Supper "inevitably recalls the very foundations of the Christian faith", said the Istituto di Autodisciplina Pubblicitaria. "This kind of image, with a high concentration of theological symbols, cannot be recreated and parodied for commercial ends without offending the religious sensitivities of at least part of the population."
According to Arie, the company says that image was "inspired by" The Da Vinci Code, and is a "tribute to women".
