This might make Calvin Klein Blush
Send to a friend:
Seeing as how these photos were taken from Vogue IT’s January 2007 issue, one would come to expect a photospread in the risque’ vein. One would also expect that somewhere Ms. Roitfield is gritting her teeth because the tits being shown wasn’t in her version of the industry bible.
But let’s take a look at Steven Meisel’s magic. First and foremost, AvantGarde is right on in saying only half jokingly (I think) that fashion photographers kinda, sorta, somehow, somewhere wanted to be pornographers but made a left turn at haute couture and now reside in the mundane world of only slightly imitating their sleazy brethren. The spread is a parody of the youtube, click here and get your results in five seconds generation, but there’s also art in the quasi pornography that separates what it is and what it might be. Simply meaning, I couldn’t see Coco Rocha, J Stam, Hilary Rhoda, Sasha Pivovarova, Missy Rayder wearing Agent Provacateur and Calvin Klein in any other way. It’s beautiful, it’s risque’, and it is exactly what I want from my fashion spread. To push the envelope way off the table. And while Calvin Klein may never blush while seeing these photos, thus making my post title hyperbole at best, I’ll still take simulated just brushing-17 porn with my fashion for $200 Alex.
