So, more violent, misogynist imagery that is supposed to inspire women to rush out to buy overpriced footwear. Chalk lines and intimations of non-consensual bondage are NEVER appropriate. This is just bad soft-core porn, nothing more.

Jackie is on crack. This is pure art! Love the editorial, and the shoes!!!

Screw the shoes...where can I get that vintage Cadillac depicted in the second photo? (;-}=

To Jackie: What's a good soft-core porn? I would be interested to look, seriously.
This ad is not going to make me buy shoes. For one reason, I can't afford these shoes... but it is definately hot.

Hmm. Late to the party but I'm inclined to agree with Jackie. Except I don't see a porn correlation.

With all the many unsolved rapes in LA County alone I find this distasteful. I'm also wondering if Bruno Frisoni approves of his shoes being featured in a morgue with a presumably murdered female.

I enjoy though provoking, I enjoy an edge to an editorial, but this is just bad taste.
