not a "disaster" but I thought this was very interesting...
Gisele Bundchen H&M ads too sexy for Dubai; Photos altered to cover up model's cleavage, shoulders
By Lindsay Goldwert
Gisele Bündchen's bare arms and décolletage were deemed too steamy for Dubai, United Aarb Emirates.
The model's ads for clothier H&M's spring/summer 2011 campaign were digitally altered to cover up some of the Brazilian beauty's inflammatory flesh, the Daily Mail reported.
In two of the ads, white "camisoles" were Photoshopped to disguise Bündchen's cleavage. In another, a set of short sleeves was added to cover up her shoulders.
The ads were deemed too sexy for Muslim consumers, who prefer women to dress more modestly.
"Perhaps some changes were made to better align the campaign with the sensibilities of the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council, whose membership is Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and SaudiArabia] market," according to the fashion site La Moda Dubai.
cause that's how a lot of girls are wearing those more 'revealing' clothes in muslim countries. i had classmates from Egypt who would wear really low cut tops, but with a cleavage covering tanktop underneath it.
