That Italian Vogue shoot is ""heavily inspired"" by Kohei Yoshiyuki's Park series. Except that they made it porny.
Dear Moddles,
Yes, we know you're fourteen and fresh out of Kazakhstan, but we want to photograph your crotch for the newstand. And we probably won't pay you for it either.
heh. the juicy couture stroller is only $450, which surprises me, since it's something functional and with lots of parts, whereas they sell absorbent towel-suits for pretty close to that.
maybe there's some kind of inverse relationship between pricing and functionality here.
@bigleggedwoman: It will take women being fed up with buying clothing from a company run by a Class A-1 self-important prick, deciding en masse to boycott the company and their products. But as long as they keep coming out with things that women want and like to wear, I don't see it happening.
American manufacturing has really gone down the tubes. We use immigrant labor and outsourcing, our once proud auto industry is in the shitter. We're even using immigrants for our sexual harassment. I propose a moratorium on immigration, because all they want to do is pull a Dov Charney and move here and take our ass slapping rights away.
@pandorasmittens: I must admit that I like how hard Levenger is trying to get my business. Every other day is a new sale, coupon, free gift with purchase. And I read my Kohl's flyer about six times to be sure that the $10 gift card affixed was an actual gift card for $10 and not just an attempt to get me to sign up for a charge account. But it was real.
@i_believe_in_peace_bitch: he probably mean cindy crawford curvy. i'm sure he'd find kate moss quite satisfactoryin the curvy department if she had giant fake boobs.
@i_believe_in_peace_bitch: I love it when they say Kate Winslet is curvy. In my world, Kate Winslet is a tiny waif, Kim Kardashian is curvy, and Queen Latifah is zaftig.
Oh, lay off American Apparel everyone. Any company with advertising that resembles third world brothel candid Polaroids can't be all bad! I mean, they take the chains off the girls and everything.
@BrutallyHonestBabes: Really. Complete with underage human trafficking victims. Something tell me there must be at least one photo of twins making out.
I've never been inside an AA store. Are there posters like that up on the walls? Because that would totally make it feel like an old 70s porno showroom.

Here's a slide show of that series if anyone's interested:
You're quite right with the "heavily inspired". Except, upon seeing that slide show again, it might be closer to "facsimile with a touch of color".

"Oh my god... it's like a photo gallery of Law and Order SVU."
She actually felt so uncomfortable that she had to walk out of the store.
