Where will it end. It's not like they're advertising loo, cleaner, marigolds or washing powder or anything useful. Nope it's women's underwear again.

AM I being unreasonable?

Luxury lingerie company features male model wearing bra and panties

A lingerie company that peddles high-priced underwear for women is featuring a biological male wearing a bra and panties in their latest ad campaign.

created by handmaidens for men....
looks the opposite of sexy

Itakecreaminmycoffee · 16/04/2023 16:48

Who is this supposed to appeal to exactly? Coz it makes me want to vomit in my mouth!

mainsfed · 16/04/2023 16:48

Isn’t this that guy who has directly asking kids to follow him on TikTok? Jeffrey Marsh?

VickyEadieofThigh · 16/04/2023 16:49

They look like autogynephiles. Which isn't a good marketing strategy for the core market of WOMEN.

FrancescaContini · 16/04/2023 16:52

Disturbing but also idiotic as it’s probably the fastest way to alienate your target market.

MagicKittens · 16/04/2023 16:53

That bra doesn't fit. (And is totally pointless, of course, but they could at least have found one that didn't hoick itself upwards at the back, surely.)

MagicKittens · 16/04/2023 16:55

Just me thinking 'baby in the advert in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' for the I'm a Teapot pose?

BCBird · 16/04/2023 16:55

I despair

PayNoAttentionToTheNastyLady · 16/04/2023 16:57

It's utterly revolting

rainydaysandstormynights · 16/04/2023 16:57

I can't imagine many women will look at a man modelling lingerie designed for women and think, "Hm, yes, this inspires me. I want to look/feel like that, too!" And the average man who might be shopping for the woman in his life will find it a complete turn-off, too.

I suppose you could argue that it stands out from the crowd, and some say that's all that matters. Be memorable, even if it's for a negative reason.

Daffodilwoman · 16/04/2023 16:58

Well I certainly wouldn’t buy it.
Yet again a porn, fetishised version of what men like this think women are.
Where are all the women advertising mens clothing?

howdoesatoastermaketoast · 16/04/2023 16:59

it's a yuk from me

GlacindaTheTroll · 16/04/2023 17:01

Prefer Frank-N-Furter

AlwaysGinPlease · 16/04/2023 17:01

Grim

howdoesatoastermaketoast · 16/04/2023 17:03

you're right and not wrong

Sussyknowsthemeaningoflife · 16/04/2023 17:03

But it's not FOR women surely?

I've never heard of the brand ( I'm probably not the right demographic anyway) but this add would make me presume it's a specialist brand who make clothing for men who wish to dress up in women's knickers. So, sexy (!) men's knickers, not for actual women...

sukiwh · 16/04/2023 17:03

Literally who cares? It’s obviously done to spark interest/debate. It’s just a man in pants. It’s a non-issue.

ChiChaNaYubi · 16/04/2023 17:05

Meh. He’s a burlesque performer who wear lingerie as part of his act. Not really seeing the problem. Not sure why lingerie had to be exclusively for women when most of the time women on here complain about lingerie “being for men”

MistyGreenAndBlue · 16/04/2023 17:05

Let him wear it
I certainly don't want to 😂

In fact, let all the men be the sex objects now if they want
Leave the women alone for a change

Except - that's not REALLY what they want is it?

mainsfed · 16/04/2023 17:07

The company used to market itself as “a luxury lingerie brand created by women for women,” but after the controversy surrounding its new campaign this week, it now uses the tagline: “A luxury lingerie company for all!”

Hmm
flutterbyebaby · 16/04/2023 17:08

Never see them dressed in granny knickers and over the shoulder boulder holders

Jantlet · 16/04/2023 17:09

🤮

Lockheart · 16/04/2023 17:09

As J K Rowling said:

"Wear whatever you please".

I don't give a shit if men want to wear lingerie.

Nomoredamnmats · 16/04/2023 17:10

Wouldn’t want to be the one washing that thong.

Stardust75 · 16/04/2023 17:46

Couldn't care less what people want to wear. It's just clothing. There's far worse going on in the world to be concerned about rather than someone wearing lacy undies!!
