Oily Fish Nets: Italian Vogue Does the Gulf Disaster

The image reminds me of the Shakespeare scene from Titus Andronicus, severed hands…
It certainly is an indictment of BP, but also makes sure it should not be easily forgotten as in a swim by Obama with his daughter…

Thanks for posting this series. I was struck by the word ‘controversial,’ and certainly found it in the comments. We are somehow muddling through it all (life and death) together.

The glove shot is very creative, hardly egregious.
I do love an artist who pushes the boundaries, and these photos do that. They’re not meant to sell us any fashion, which can be just as offensive as BP has been – profits rule.

Gothic. Models as oil soaked marine life? Interesting. I’d be more impressed if Vogue had been able to draw a sharper connection between its own business model and the one that despoiled the Gulf. Didn’t put that well; let me try again. Hello, Vogue. What’s your contribution to this coastal disaster? Or, are you opining from the comfort of afar?
