Disgusting

In the name of all things fashionably-holy....what were these people thinking when they did this photo campaign?! And the magazine editor's response is even more appalling

Vogue India editor Priya Tanna’s message to critics of the August shoot: “Lighten up,” she said in a telephone interview. Vogue is about realizing the “power of fashion” she said, and the shoot was saying that “fashion is no longer a rich man’s privilege. Anyone can carry it off and make it look beautiful,” she said.

Of course. If they can afford to splurge out a cool $100 on a piece of rag in the first place. Come to think of it, why would anyone in their right minds pay $10k for a friggin handbag even if they can afford to do so a gazillion times over. Now I'm not trying to be on a moral high ground and say they shouldn't be peddling all these luxury goods...its a (pseudo-) free country...everyone is (almost) free to do whatever they want, but hey, being a little considerate to others around you never hurt anyone.
