MOSCHINO COLLECTION CAUSES OUTRAGE
After fashion brand Moschino released its new drug-themed clothing collection, hundreds of people have called for a boycott. The collection features bags which resemble packets of painkillers and pill containers, as well as tops which have perscription stickers printed on.

Although the collection's slogan is 'Just say MoschiNO', many people, including drug counsellor Randy Anderson believe that the campaign could be seen more than just harmless fun by those (and their families) who have or are suffering from a drug addiction
The brand has been accused of 'glamourising drugs' and that the brand is encouriging people to see drugs and perscription medications as an accesory.
Nordstrom , as a result of the public reaction and attitude towards the collection, pulled the collection from their clothing stores and online website.
