Madonna's new 'provocative" fashion range for teens has been slammed by campaigners accusing her of 'sexualising" teenage girls.

The outfits of collection Material Girl, were designed by Maddona and her daughter Lourdes. The outfits were labeled by the campaigners as 'Madonna trying to relive her youth through her daughter.'

The Material Girl has some very provocative pictured of Gossip Girl TV star Taylor Momsen. In one photo she is seen tangled up in chains with bleached hair and heavy make-up.

Another shows her in a mini-skirt, dark nail polish and biker boots. Another has her in a low-cut dress and fishnet tights.

“It is not so much the clothes that are the problem, it is the poses that are worrying. You could dress a young girl in a bin bag and make her pose like that and it would still be as provocative," said psychologist Jo Hemmings.

Another campaigner added that sexualisation of girls is even linked to eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression.
