UK - London - Male model mural and Muslim mother

A Muslim mother and son walk past a giant ad mural for Hollister California of a bare-chested young male model, a clash of western and eastern cultures. The large image of the model wearing only swimwear and a whistle is seen to the full height of the billboard that obscures the construction site behind of the newest addition to the Regent Street clothing brand. The lady and child walk past ignoring the sexuality of this ad, increasingly seen in UK media. It shows a handsome male youth and the use of the perfect specimen is displayed on the street more and more, seen here large and prominent for a female (or gay) audience while concentrating our attention on a the clashes of a multicultural Britain.
