Sex & Fashion: Supermodels Go into Rehab [Sensational Photos!]
Manipulation & Make-Believe In Fashion Photography
In Steven Meisel's 2007 Vogue Italia series,
"Super Mods Enter Rehab", smacked-out-looking models
are dragged along institutional corridors by aggressive
orderlies, take therapeutic baths (though so zonked are they,
they've forgotten to undress), hang out in their
locked-ward dormitories, and generally do their careers
no self-harm whatsoever. Previously, Meisel has had models
play at Homeland Security narcs and terror suspects
I doubt these mockumentary images are intended
as social commentary, or as a lacerating satire of
the fashion industry's atmosphere of vacuous complicity
They are too much part of the game,
too locked in the same hall of mirrors
