Vogue Italia Continues To Stir Up Controversy

As if the controversy around their “Slave Earrings” wasn’t enough, Vogue Italia is back at it, this time with a rather interesting cover image.

Model Stella Tennant is on the September cover wearing a black Prada coat and one hell of a corset made by Deborah Milner.

The gothic-inspired cover shows off Tennant’s tiny waist squeezed into a tiny corset and what appears to be a bit of photoshop magic.

The cover is said to be a tribute to the late Ethel Granger, who held the Guinness Book record for the smallest waist in the world.

The image on the cover says it all, Avant-Garde.

What do U think, is this cover purely for shock value? Is there more to the image? Share your thoughts with us below.
