In Vietnam, the government of HCM City have decided that all stores displaying lingerie wearing mannequins would be banned. The ban started on June 15 and if caught, authorities would be issuing warnings and citations.
However, news of the ban seems to have traveled slowly because many stores still have the mannequins in the windows, the shop owners deny hearing the government issued demands, and the customers seem oblivious to the underwear. In it's wake, the issue has spun a heated debate that has been a major argument, not only in Vietnam, but across the world.
The question? Why is it okay to display swimsuits and scantily made outfits on mannequins and advertisined, but it isn't okay to advertise lingerie. Many retailers who make modest underwear have complained about the stipulations that magazines, websites and other venues have placed on displaying their product. Many believe they are given the short end of the stick because they can't accurately sale their product without showing the lingerie on a body.
According to a staff at Mitsuba company in HCM City: "....the ban doesn’t mention bikinis. This product is the same with underwear. Why isn’t it banned?”
Definitely a question that needs to be addressed worldwide.
