Title: Commercialized glossy porn in ads and features
Review: I subscribed hoping for a wide-ranging view of fashion shows and contemporary art. While there was an interesting article on an aging art auctioneer, several ads featured male and female nudes crouching or huddling in homoerotic poses. One feature had garish clothes on models posed in front of small suburban houses...how quaint. Another "fashion" spread had a young woman being kidnapped, a bag put over her head, handcuffed, and finally posed nude facing a wall. Degrading and violent sexualized images of women. That's not fashion...it's pornography.This magazine might appeal to older people who came of age in the 1960s (plastic surgery article, gaudy jewelry ads) who "celebrate" the sexual revolution and don't think much of the dignity of the human body.I can't see this magazine staying in existence much longer.
Is the review positive or negative?
