Thank you versustito for the previews.
I’m trying really hard to see something HF-worthy in her work. I adored the Mica in platform-rollerskates for SL; I adored the Vincent Gallo cover for Another Man; and there’s one LV shot for the current campaign that’s really good with the shot of stadium seats… That’s a total of 3 shots since her dominance of the industry for several years now. Anyone off the street, and I mean this without exaggeration, would be able to conjure a few solid shots if they were given the vast opportunities and exposure this woman has been blessed with. Anyone.
Is she the tokenism the industry must suffer to compensate and pacify for all the men that have been accused of past trespasses??? This is the only reason I can think of for her success— because apparently a rather egotistical and arrogant lesbian who’s “first and foremost an artist” would never abuse her privilege? She is stunningly mediocre at best, and lacks any growth and passion in her output.
And frankly, I would easily suffer all her pompous stank if she were actually talented and possessed of a strong HF vision. But truth is she just got very lucky and is the perfect definition of a mediocre talent that was at the right place at the right time.
The September issue had better be above and beyond anything else they’re churned out to make up for this amount of colossal, amateur waste.
