For its August issue, Vogue Italia had a spread featuring model Kristen McMenamy mostly dressed in black looking oily and dirty (yet still fierce.) One photo actually had her dressed in feathers covered in oil while another shot showed her spitting up water while lying on the rocks.
Now a bold move like this one which is practically immortalized in glossy paper on news stands will not go unnoticed. Immediately after it was released, the spread conjured up various opinions both from inside and outside the fashion industry.
Some people were hurt and offended by the spread, while others, such us ourselves, didn’t find it vulgar or offensive at all. What can we say, that’s fashion; it’s all about taking feisty risks. Besides, how else would an industry giant such as Vogue make a statement?
