I mean I’m glad they’re getting support, but the picking and choosing is appalling to say the least... This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who had to leave Ukraine because of the war, do you know how f*cking annoying it is to hear from Americans everyday “what’s happening in Ukraine? Is the war still going on?” Olena Zelenska is acting as an unofficial ambassador, meeting with the American president last week and now appearing in the biggest fashion magazine in the world to continue to raise awareness for a country that is under constant barrage. My street in Kyiv alone has been hit with missiles 3 times since the war started, and that’s nothing - some places are being hit 3 times a day!!! How many of you in this thread calling this disgusting and tasteless have bothered to check out the ATRL thread about the war lately? Literally none of you, because it only gets updated once every few days by the same user. But now you all want to be experts on the optics of a war you don’t even care about, outside of how it affects you personally. The inability for anyone on this website to apply critical thinking makes me sick. Drag them for filth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) If the idea is to keep Ukraine in the news and keep people aware, I'm sure they could have thought of a way to do this aside from a "glam" photoshoot in a fashion mag that doesn't even do social commentaries to start with, what's so hard to understand about that? Of course this is ******* tacky Not surprised seeing that extremely dumb user refer to people being uncomfortable with this as "westplaining" as if people aren't right to be understandably bothered by another instance of pop culture politics. The least they could have done is to have the photoshoot be dominated by pictures of the war, or the actual people suffering, not the airbrushed pics of the president and his wife like some demented promo for a new HBO show.

BrokenMachine Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Imagine being the leader of a contry in the middle of a war. Thousands of people being murd*red. Millions of people becoming refugees. And you just think 'I'm gonna make a photosoot for a fashion magazine with my wife' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Boy Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 13 hours ago, Gui Blackout said: His "fame hunger" as some of you say is simply an effort to keep Ukraine in the media and social consciousness. A lot of people flipped the page on them after a few week and turned their attention onto something else, meanwhile Russia is still destroying their country and slaughtering their people, and they still need help from the rest of the free world. They're absolutely right to use any opportunity that is offered to them, even from Vogue (who btw always had a history of documenting wars since way back to WW1) OT: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leptine Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I agree about this being tacky and unnecessary, you can still bring awareness and get support with doing a more appropriate reportage for a different media outlet, a Vogue shooting with the war as backgroud and the first lady of the President with her hair and make up just done is just tacky. Vogue US and Anna Wintour are truly became a joke, Italian and French ones would never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girl just cause the pics are HQ does not make it a high fashion shoot it's a feature in a magazine which you are fuming about without even having read it. They're literal pictures from a warzone.

If you can’t see what’s wrong with a professional high fashion photographer doing this photoshoot for a high fashion magazine like Vogue I don’t know what to tell you.
