The following year , McMenamy modeled for the fall/winter 2010 Viktor & Rolf fashion show , in which she was a " Matryoshka doll " , where the designers put several layers of clothing on her , similar to how the dolls have several layers . She also walked the runway for Klein 's fall/winter 2010 fashion show . In August 2010 , McMenamy appeared on the cover of '' Vogue Italia '' . The cover image and the accompanying 24-page photo spread , which was titled " Water & Oil " , were said to be inspired by that year 's Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico . A controversy arose over the photo spread , particularly because in some of the pictures , McMenamy seemed to be emulating a bird covered in oil . Though , according to Franca Sozzani , '' Vogue Italia '' 's editor-in-chief , the message of the photo spread was " to be careful about nature "
