"Fashion and flesh merged. It became hard to tell
the difference between fashion magazines, featuring more flesh, and Playboy,
featuring more fashion...But there's no escaping the fact that today's
fashion role models are very small, very thin, very expressionless little
girls...Even when she's barely dressed, Moss' face is vacuous. Not a thought
in the world. Not even a desire. She goes topless for Calvin Klein's ads,
but her champagne glass itty-bitties seem prepubescent innocent, not sexy.
'She's almost presexual,' says Fabien Baron, creative director for Harper's
Bazaar. 'She has no concept of her own sexuality.' Thus the theory that
fear of AIDS has made this new appearance of inexperience--innocence,
purity and virginity--very appealing. Safe Sex Chic?"
--"Wispy fashions demand
wispy models", Elizabeth Snead, USA Today, 1993
Safe sex chic is what?
Sex with children?
Where is the outrage?
