This is an ad from Dolce & Gabbana. During the class discussion, there were many different views in terms of what is happening in this picture. The name of this advertisement is "Fantasy Rape". What I see from this picture is that a woman is being held down by a man while 3 other men are watching. The woman's eyes are closed and her body is in a really awkward position for being raped. Usually when a woman is raped, their eyes would probably be open and would try to fight of the man, and that position seems like she is enjoying the company of the men. She was probably trying to seduce the men. The main item being advertised here is probably her shoes. Meaning that D&G was trying to convey the message of, "these shoes will make you very attractive." If she was really being gang raped, all the men would be on top of her. There were many different version of the story being said in class, some said she really was a victim of rape.
