I recently flipped through the August issue of Italian Vogue and was taken by surprise from the images I saw in one fashion spread. The images are so powerful and shocking they boarder on offensive. I imagine American Vogue would most likely never do a spread this provocative.
In what is titled Oil and Water the model Kristen McMenamy is portrayed as a one of thousands of Gulf of Mexico creatures that have fallen victim to the oil spill. Photographer Steven Meisel purposely created an atmosphere that makes the viewer uncomfortable to capture the stark reality of the situation.
