See the Steven Meisel Editorial That Was Too Racy for Italian ‘Vogue’
Photo: Steven Meisel for V
Editorials aren't often deemed too racy for a European magazine and then snatched up by an American one. But such is the case with Steven Meisel's recent shoot inspired by "dogging," the British term for engaging in sexually explicit acts in semi-public places, like cars or movie theaters. Starring Anna Selezneva, Daul Kim, Iris Strubegger, and Naty Chabanenko, Italian Vogue reportedly turned down the borderline-pornographic photos. But V magazine snatched them up, and they appear in the upcoming issue, hitting stands later this week. We have a peek at the entire spread (pseudo-cunnilingus shot included!) in the slideshow. As if we need to warn you, but this one is NSFW.
