simko: Photographs by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia featuring models Hilary Rhoda and Iselin Steiro… OK, I might just be getting old. But since when is beauty, or even suggesting sex and lust not good enough any more to sell clothes and do we need to add an even more primal level to these images to be ‘effective’ (i.e. trigger any response in us to charge the product displayed with any meaning/ rlevance)? I do not like the direction this is taking.
