If you’re trying to understand what it means to be the child of a celebrity witness Rumer Willis’ unveiling in the Ocean Pacific ads. While there won’t be as much of a hub-bub over the photos as opposed to Annie Liebovitz tres jolie coco spread with Miley Cyrus, because she’s 19. At 19, the jury is out on whether she is in better shape than her 40 plus mom, this is Demi Moore we’re talking about. She’s also looking to start that much vaunted modeling career that eludes the children of celebrities.

Man, the fashion industry really is in exercising it’s demons mode. From using sweatshops, to being eco-aware, to using anorexic models and now Vogue Italia is set to shine the light on the disgusting process of excluding models of color from being the pages of their publication, by making an almost all black issue this July. It’s no secret that we’ve had our fun lambasting designers and magazines that seem to be color blind. That is, blind to models of color. That is, not even realizing beauty from non-white models exist, and can actually make clothes look… gasp… appealing. This might even lead to an increase in sales. And what are we doing this for if we are not making money…right? Right?

So congratulations to Vogue Italia for making this happen. But this shouldn’t be a one-time thing and the fashion industry has a habit of regressing quickly and making things worse. There’s almost an expectation that after this issue, someone might have a black, 14 year old, anorexic model wearing items from a designer who uses endangered species skin as material, all made in a South American sweatshop. Or not.

Your on this FASHION BLOG and you’re wondering what does fashion have to do with some inane mouth breathing poll conducted by a bunch of chauvinist. Here’s the explanation: the model of the year, Agyness Deyn and the World’s Sexiest Woman are polar opposites.

There could be a variety of reasons for this. It could be that the men in the fashion industry aren’t exactly straight and love girls with a certain boyish charm, it could be that women find the virtues of this model to be far superior to that of Megan Fox, who incidentally is… THE WORLD’S SEXIEST WOMAN. It could just be that the average male’s perception of beauty is diametrically opposed to a woman’s perception of beauty. So without getting all philosophical and fumbling on an explanation, the question is raised why is the world’s sexiest woman and the model of the year, two different people?

It came as news to everyone here, but in England some supermarkets have models that represent them in advertising. In America, the closest thing you’re get is a tall and thin asparagus stalk, though the supermarkets are under pressure here with anorexic vegetables and are looking to make a more representative statement by switching to pears and tomatoes. I digress. In England, land of amazing food, the supermarket chain Asda is looking to replace their recently dumped model, Coleen McLoughlin, with, Carla Bruni. You know, Carla Bruni, the model, Carla Bruni the French citizen, Carla Bruni the woman that married that French leader that just divorced another woman and remarried her before the bed was cold…Oh that Carla Bruni… yeah, that one.

The poetic thing about Bruni is that were the supermarket chain to get their wish and actually have her fill in as a replacement, she would become the face of George and other family friendly fashions from the chain. There is irony somewhere in there.
