Animal Farm & Meisel

I'm collecting inspiration for a mood board for a new magazine project I'm working on about women (I don't want to give away too much) when I found this video... 15 years old.... thats seriously disgusting.

And on an up note.. I'll end this post with some of my favorite fashion work ever.. shot by Steven Meisel entitled "State of Emergency" for Italian Vogue (September 2006). I remember when I first saw this.. it blew my mind.


Many people were upset by this campaign and referred to Meisel as a misogynist... but I felt like this was aimed more at corrupt society.. authority... human behaviour, police. I mean yes this is fetish... and these models look drop dead gorgeous.. but its a fashion editorial.. these woman aren't supposed to look haggard.






And even when oppressed by the pigs shoe on her throat.. she remains stunning and composed. A true lady. *Note the red dress... a color often associated with: temper, anger, danger.. It brings focus to the essence of life and living with emphasis on survival*




This is my favorite image in the editorial. This stuff happens all the time. I wouldn't consider this image glamorizing the act... it's one of those images that has the capability to make change in society.. even on the level of what it is (fashion.) And that's why Meisel is one of the greatest (fashion) photographers of all time.. because his work isn't on some wussy pussy "I'm afraid to say what I think because it might offend others" status.. its bold and honest.. and truthful. People want the truth.

Look at the cops expression.. its menacing and egotistical... someone who enjoys abusing his authority. Everything is calculated.. this editorial is perfection












Notice she is standing when inspected by the woman


And down on her knees with the male officers... this is another favorite of the editorial. The guard dog was a magnificent touch.

Now back to mood boarding. Hope everyone has a happy Sunday.
