I think if the marketing was more centered around the street style photographers that are unemployed and grounded, it would have been received better. I get supporting the community outside of models and actually, applaud them including interns (often overlooked) which is rare. Teen Vogue used to do it all the time.
However, I don't really see Carlos' styling hand here (not sure if he's established his identity yet) and think it's a missed opportunity for young photographers. Not saying Carlos can't expand to photography, but this is a lazy attempt. People have these jobs for a reason!
