Nude Male Model with Handbag

[Karl-G]

Valentino used a nude male model to advertise its latest handbag. There was backlash.

Backlash should be used for things that are "meaningful". If people have nothing better to do, let them go volunteer somewhere !

I bow to personal taste. I don't see the model or the handbag complementing/complimenting each other.

I agree. the model needs a bit more accessorization, like a statement necklace or some drop earrings.... At least a pair of gloves !

The world slowly and somewhat painfully coming out from under the grip of a global pandemic. Cops still killing and being killed. Mass shootings almost every other day. Myanmar slaying its own people, including over 80 children in a single day. Trumpism persists and QAnon keeps the faith. And a naked man with a purse is what some people choose to get exercised over. I sometimes despair of my species.

 

Jesus wept.

using a feminine male model to replace a female model could have feminist issues.

To say nothing of the lost wages for the female models. I think I read somewhere they make more than male models so maybe this is a way of economizing by the haute couture firms. Ugly handbag, BTW.

Funny- I thought he was holding a briefcase. I guess looks are deceiving.
