Vogue Italia does the Gulf of Mexico

The lovely Natasha sent me a link to Vogue Italia’s ‘Water & Oil’ shoot –and I’m truly grateful. Natasha loves the shoot and finds it, “moving & a bit shocking” –and I agree! The thing is, -I’m guessing that Vogue Italia’s ‘Water & Oil’ -is a fashionable interpretation of the environmental catastrophe that happened in the Gulf of Mexico (an oil spillage that continues to damage the earth and wildlife in its wake), -then hopefully it’ll help to highlight just how environmentally fragile the earth is –but I’m guessing that mostly, –folk will be blown away by the creatives involved (including: fab photographer, Steven Meisel, the astonishing youthful Kristen McMenamy, make-guru Pat McGrath and the Set design by Mary Howard), -but if you are anything like me, –you’ll be blown away by the kaleidoscopic amounts of uber fabulous pieces Vogue Italia’s were able to call-in for the shoot –considering that most of these garments were going to be treated soo harshly, its reminded me again of the power of the Vogues –what do you think?
