The Now Smash of Style

(source)

I am generally on board with Italian Vogue shoots, but I think I might kind of hate these. There is a fine line between jolie-laide and just ugly. The shots are artistic and painterly, but in concept and execution I think Vogue Germany did it better here. Personally speaking, if the clothes are going to be styled grungily, it's a bit much to have the models looking like they've been dipped in oil, smeared with greasepaint and dragged through a hedge backwards. What do you think?
