Yesterday there was a news on Yahoo. I wanted to share it you guys if you read it too.
For me it seemed like a good idea backfired. Loved the concept but yeah it might hurt some sentiments....
What do you think of it...
Yahoo news:
Indian Vogue editors probably thought they had a pretty clever idea when they asked real people instead of professional models to pose for its current issue. Average men and women on the street appear in a photo spread flaunting items like a $10,000 Birkin bag, a $100 Fendi bib, and a $200 Burberry umbrella. But the thing is, 456 million people in India — half the country's population — live on less than $1.25 a day. So a lot of people are finding the spread rather sickening. New Delhi newspaper columnist Kanika Gahlaut told the New York Times she found it "not just tacky but downright distasteful," calling it an "example of vulgarity." She added it's not "fun or funny" to put a poor man in a mud hut in Alexander McQueen clothes. How did Indian Vogue editor Priya Tanna respond?
