Vogue India Fashion Spread Stirs Controversy

Filed under: Apparel, Luxury Travel & Hotels

For Vogue India's latest issue, editors decided to shoot some of the country's poorest citizens modeling such luxury goods as a Hermes Birkin bag and a Burberry umbrella. An older woman -- missing her upper teeth -- held a baby wearing a Fendi bib which cost as much as she might earn over a several month period. (Remember most of India still lives on little more than a dollar a day.) The juxtaposition has a number of Vogue readers (and non-readers) astir.

In a place polarized by caste and an exceptionally apparent disparity of wealth, one would think Vogue might have been a little more discreet. Perhaps most infuriating about the photo spread is that Vogue didn't even get the names of the men, women and children posing. They are simply referred to as "lady" or "man" while the cutline goes into great detail about the various objects they model -- people as props, handbags as the main story.

The real shame? That somehow poverty never quite goes out of fashion.

The Business Bib

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel

Do you telecommute to work on a regular basis? For many who work from home on a regular basis, the dress code is relaxed, to say the least. Some work in jeans and a T-shirt, while others stick with pjs and slippers for the majority of their working hours. But with a rise in video conferencing, stay at home workers find that they have to meet real office dress codes even in their home office. Enter the Business Bib. It enables wearers to look like they're properly attired in a full suit from the chest up, so you can fool you boss and co-workers via webcam and avoid getting dressed for a bit longer in the mornings. It may look strange when viewed as a whole, but a glance at the gallery proves that they do look very convincing. The materials are of high quality and, perhaps best of all, you'll never have to worry about coordinating colors. Prices range from $135 to $150, and the personality descriptions with each bib are worth a read, even if you plan to stick with real suits.
