London,
(ANI):
Madonna
has
been
slammed
for
her
new
'provocative" fashion
range
for
teens,
with
some
accusing
her
of
'sexualising"
teenage
girls.
The
pop
queen
released
images
to
launch
the
collection
Material
Girl,
which
she
designed
with
daughter
Lourdes,
13.
But
campaigners
labelled
it
“inappropriate",
saying
that
Madonna
was
trying
to
relive
her
youth
through
her
daughter.
One
of
the
shots
shows
Gossip
Girl
TV
star
Taylor
Momsen,
17,
tangled
up
in
chains
with
bleached
hair
and
heavy
make-up.
Another
shows
her
in
a
mini-skirt,
dark
nail
polish
and
biker
boots.
Another
has
her
in
a
low-cut
dress
and
fishnet
tights.
“It
is
not
so
much
the
clothes
that
are
the
problem,
it
is
the
poses
that
are
worrying," The
Daily
Star
quoted
psychologist
Jo
Hemmings
as
saying.
“You
could
dress
a
young
girl
in
a
bin
bag
and
make
her
pose
like
that
and
it
would
still
be
as
provocative,"
Hemmings
added.
Another
campaigner
added
that
sexualisation
of
girls
is
even
linked
to
eating
disorders,
low
self-esteem
and
depression.
