A livid gran has lashed out at fashion mogul Stella McCartney for displaying "indecent" profanity-laden posters all over London. Ex-teacher Kate, who prefers to remain surname-less, noticed the posters - which unabashedly spell out the f-word - on an Oxford Street phone box and a wall in Camberwell, southeast London. The 61-year-old was taken aback and disgusted by the "obscene" explicit language of the ads "fly-posted" within plain sight of passing kids.
Kate, a mother-of -ive and grandmother-of-two, asserts she's not being "prudish" and contends the blatant disregard from luxury fashion label Stella McCartney Ltd - established by Beatle Sir Paul McCartney's daughter - could equate to "emotional abuse" of children who see the posters. After reaching out to the brand, she received a "patronising" reply, informing her she didn't grasp that the posters - bearing the words 'It's About F*cking Time' - were related to animal welfare. The posters promoted Stella McCartney's Winter 2024 Campaign, starring American actress Eva Mendes and British singer Raye, and highlighting the brand's advocacy for the planet and cruelty-free, luxury fashion.
" Coats listed online in the collection include coats priced at £5,000 and handbags nearly hitting £2,000. "I saw both of them on the same journey last Monday (23/09)," Kate said. "I'm not a prudish person - I swear like a trooper myself and get to Selhurst Park, so I know all the swearwords, but I don't want children reading that word anywher.
