I don't think it‘s under debate by anyone who is supremely beautiful over whom, you‘re reading too much into it.
More so, it baffles me that the choice of Hedi‘s models is still a topic for a heated controversy a good 20 years when he never presented his models in a vulnerable, sexualized place before. Compared to that, we have photographers like Bruce Weber or Mario Testino who managed to get away after numerous accuses of male models who were sexually harassed during shoots.
As I was mentioning before, I think people are enforcing double standards here, as nobody questions the widely common body and age standards for female runway models where putting a tall and skinny teenage girl in a sexy dress has for decades been an acceptable standard. We know why it happens and as a designer, I would also choose to present my designs on fashion models with an otherworldly quality, rather than on the kind of commercial male and female models we commonly find relatable, attractive and desirable.
