Lara Stone in Fiction Noire

Just come across this - a very controversial fashion editorials  by Mr. Steven Klein featuring Dutch model Lara Stone. Lara Fiction Noirewas published in February 2009 issue of Vogue Paris, an entire number dedicated to the Nordic muse, who was nicknamed "gothic Brigitte Bardot" by designer Ricardo Tisci.

"Lara Fiction Noire" looks like a scenario of S&M (or BDSM?) went wrong. It reminds me of Heroes TV series (yep, that's right) where this frail blonde lady becomes a super strong monster when her bad personality gets through. Lara Stone has the body of a bombshell and the sex-appeal of all her fellow topmodels combined. But also the fierceness that propelled her to haute-couture. So there's nothing surprising that she inspired a violent-erotic photoshoot.

Sure, nobody can deny the visually stunning technical quality of these images or their commercial value, (it's a clever advertisement for D&G lingerie), but as artistic level, can comics be considered art?
