^^^^^^That's the thing, it's NOT fashion.

You simply can't judge this picture from a purely fashion aesthetic, it doesn't work.

this is art, not meant to be fashion

This is more artistic than fashion'y. Btw, fashion is an art too. More than 1 prestigious magazine does fully nude edits. I actually love this. The shape shes creating with her body looks great and theres a true emotion in the face. Not the most flattering angle, though. But her jaw looks great. And also, kudos on getting McGinley. Hes not a small photographer. He has shot for VP and some Stella McCartney ads. This is a pretty big achievement.

He's had work shown at the Guggenheim! I mean come on! Not obscure!

Her boddie looks like helll horrible!!

Lovely! This is SO different, and it works! She's exotic here, and y'all are just not getting the artistic side to this. This is MAJOR!

ugly!

Its memorable!

This is Print, because it was in the Ryan McGinely gallery.

not laurens best but at least she went for it so she gets major brownie points for the attempt

this image is in artforum magazine.

The only thing that bothers me about this is her adam's apple.

It's not 'art', nor is it purely 'fashion'. It's definitely a commodifiable image that sits in both categories. But frankly who cares about whether it fits in one category or another. But overall, I have to say it's purposefully unappealing in a sense, which can be seen to be effective on one hand in relation to the photographer's intent... which probably was a critique of the contemporary female nude in art/fashion. But as a whole, I have to say I'm not a fan.

I don't expect people to really take to this picture, I don't even care too much for it. But I'm happy people are actually acknowledging that this is still something artistic. As opposed to SPAM comments discussing her pubic hair.

um... wtf!? another model that cant make it so she demeans her self by taking odd nude pictures and claims its art... im sorry but there is NOTHING artistic about this...

Something tells me Lauren didn't have any problem doing this. It was taken by a renowned photographer, and it does have artistic merit. Poor unfortunate souls confusing an image of the human form with smut. -_-

clearly you guys don;t know about art and if you hating it then is art, by the way this is wonderful I would buy a paint like this art is strange and it cause controversy is best art

It looks like it is from a documentary about eating disorders or a modern take on a holocause victim. Awful
