I missed this back in August (perhaps because I'm not a subscriber) but the images are striking. A 16-page Vogue India fashion spread features "average Indians" modeling the latest in luxury trends: a Fendi bib, a Burberry umbrella, a bejeweled Hermes handbag. (via NY Times)

hrm.
hey let's give these dirt poor people stuff made in neighboring countries that they'll never live to afford...it'll be a striking piece! so ironic!
i don't know what i think about this. but at least maybe they let them keep the stuff.

Funny thing is I think her bag or dress is much more cooler and interesting than the umbrella.
FAIL.

What, they couldn't get in to Baghdad to shoot some kid with a blown off leg modeling shoes? Or maybe they couldn't find a melty-looking Hiroshima survivor pretending to evade nuke-u-lar rain under that Burberry. Disgusting.

uggghhh... just saw this. i hope they paid the models the same money that gisele, kate, and the other usual wire hangers get.
but i doubt it. this was just probably someone's brilliant idea to cut costs somewhere along the way and frame it as "art".
