Monsters Inc.

Whoever thought fashion was all about glamour and beauty has got to take a look at this.  I was inspired to make this post on the spread Monsters, Inc. in the September 2010 issue of Vogue by reader Yelena.  This is definitely not your everyday fashion spread:
The model is the artist himself, and what I like about this spread is how the artist's work receives just as much attention as the accessories.  As crazy as the outfits are, there's always a correlation between the outfit and the accessory.  There's no beautiful model wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothing; what you have instead is a creative mix of art and fashion, resulting in grotesque, but at the same time, unforgettable photos.

  16. @Cupcake: I was pretty shocked too! I literally stared at the first photo thinking "Wow, this is in Vogue??". But I really do like the spread, and it just goes to show why Vogue is so respected.

    @M: For sure! Throughout the entire magazine, fur was huge! And I'm pretty sure it was Karl that drove the point home.
