French Vogue is not a stranger to controversy, and that is why I love them so much. Fashion is art and art is controversial. It's meant to cause an emotion, be it positive or negative.... But I will be biased as I have to admit I love all things controversial. They intrigue me,they make me stop and stare, they make me think. So why is this issue about covering a beautiful Lara Stone (who is Caucasian) in black make up offensive? I don't see anything offensive about it, especially when I belong to an ethnic minority myself, I think people should just open their eyes and see the dark side of life...
Bravo Vogue!
so wow.
ReplyDeleteI can't understand why those pictures would be offensive either. It's probably because a lot of people don't always "get" or fully understand certain aspects of fashion and fashion photography, and hence when people don't understand things they interpret it as something negative. I just see these images as a celebration of culture and international royalty, that's all! very interesting post x
