In this miu miu Spring 2015 advertisement which is already banned in UK, a young thin female model in a beautiful cloth carrying a miu miu bag is lying on the bed in a small room. This model looks like a little girl.Her pretty clothes and shoes are both with bowknots. It makes her looks similar to a doll. The sight of the photographer seems look through a door to this girl. Moreover, rather than opening wide, the door is more likely to be opened furtively because the bright part which the model occupies is only the half of the image.
