After stirring up a media uproar for a provocative new lingerie line targeted at 4-to-12-year-olds and a racy advertising campaign to go along with it, Sophie Morin, the designer of French label Jours Apres Lunes, has released a statement exclusively to RadarOnline.com, expressing her shock over the controversy. 

Several fashion industry experts and bloggers have blasted the the “loungerie” line, which markets bras, panties and loungewear to kids. The issue was brought to attention on Monday by Fashionista who noted: “What’s disturbing about Jours Apres Lunes is not just the fact that it’s lingerie for people who probably shouldn’t be old enough to even know what lingerie is, but the photographs on their website.”

On the heels of the controversy surrounding the 10-year-old French model Thylane Loubry Blondeau, the French fashion industry has spawned even more concern due to a racy new lingerie line and advertising campaign, which is targeted at 4 to 12-year-olds.

French lingerie label Jours Apres Lunes recently launched their "loungerie" line of children's bras, panties and loungewear - splashing their website with shocking images of scantily clad little girls modeling the controversial collection.

In one of the images, a little girl dressed in a striped bra and panty set, plays with makeup in front of a mirror.  In another, a girl seductively lounges on a chaise, wearing a crop-top, panties and oversized sunglasses.
