Make War, Not Love by Steven Meisel

Steven Meisel, again shooting for Italian Vogue comes up with another provocative spread after the Supermodels in Rehab, this time more like his last year’s “State of Emergency” which played with the whole anti-terrorism paranoia (seen below and through the link).

It’s just trying to be shocking one way or another, which is quite popular in fashion advertising particularly in Europe (recall the scandal with the D&G ads). I will say that while the spread is slightly ridiculous as a concept (though outstandingly shot), I certainly prefer to see images like that than this:
