Those anorexia photos are really disturbing. What is it for?
If you truly have been a part of a war, it is definatly not normal. None of us have been in a full war, where atrocities are witnessed daily. If you have (which I doubt, sincrerely) then I don't think you would say the world 'normal'. What its doing is adding glamour to war. War should not be viewed as shocking since Vogue Italia did an editorial on it. That is not its place, to add Chanel and Dior to the battlefields of the world. Very disrespectful when you consider those who have been part of actual war and the editors of Vogue Italia simply sit back and their seats comfortable... and think of how to shock as next.
To me, it isn't shocking that x-number of soldiers and civilians died today, sick as that is. It's a sad thing isn't it?
i don't have a problem with that because although it evokes war, it doesn't make it look glamorous at all and it is artistically done.
What disturbs me about those photos are the near-r*pe scenes.
oh yea also, That x-number of soliders who die every day is innaccurate. It doesnt take into account the large number of mercinaries from defence contractors such as Blackwater (hired by the US, and paid better than our soliders to boot) who are not considered "soliders" by definition of the word. Yet another "advertising spin".
But back to topic. I think it is good that editorials like this exist. Despite the fact that they may not always be kosher or well put together. It still brings valuable attention to important topics from outside the ordinary suspects that bring us our news. Plus not all people are so inclined to directly inform themselves with current affairs (as I am sure is the case in the fashion world) This is just one more outlet to expose such things. It is a fashion magazine, not TIME or News Week. What kind of angle do you expect them to take on the matter???
If this was directed to me or my post, I dare you to tell me that we don't live in a world where war is an unfortunately normal part of everyday life for millions of people both directly and indirectly involved. If by saying so I'm neither spiritual nor humane then so f-ing be it. I stand by my posts.** it depends of the spirituality and humanity of each person, anyone with those characteristics will never think that war is almost normal. **
those tom ford photos look like blatant p*rn

If it wasn't directed at me or my post then ignore this entirely and please don't start another useless debate.
