The upcoming March issue of British Vogue has a Hadid sister on the front and back cover draped in shimmering Versace gowns and in the inside spread a photo suggesting incest?
Right when British Vogue shared this image to their Instagram, I took a screenshot because I found it instantly weird. To me, everything about this image is a little strange; the posing, the nudity, the editing, and especially the fact that the two very well-known models are sisters. I was wondering if people would notice this weirdness, and they sure did. Twitter users are uprearing about the image, calling it disgusting, disturbing, and even that it promotes incest.

In addition to the social media war about whether this photo taken by Steven Meisel is inappropriate or not, viewers are also criticizing it's overly edited appearance. Some are saying Bella, on the left, doesn't even look like herself. Many people are also addressing the nudity, saying it's far from fashion. Every element of this image is making the Internet uncomfortable, causing a back and forth about its presence. I want to know what you all think of this controversial image.
Thank you SOO much for your input on this, I greatly enjoyed reading it. I was just reading a new discussion on Sally Mann the other day. It's all very interesting, and there is definitely no one and done answer to any of this.
People confusing nudity with sex. I definitely wouldn't take this shot, but at the end of the day it's two adults voluntarily creating an artistic image. If you don't like it, don't pose nude with your own siblings.
20min later and I'm still trying to figure out why one would want to write an article about the two most common things on the internet: images and toxic comments.
Based on the content of those twitter accounts, it's nice to see the left and the right coming together on their outrage.
The left has gone so far left that they've now become the right. ;-)
Perfect picture. Congrats to models and photographer!
much ado about nothing.........
Absolutely, love this saying lol ;)
People think too much. It's a cool image. The posing could have been a bit different in my mind, however, there's nothing wrong with it.
Nice pic.
The bottom half of the image looks strange to my eye, like it was a wide angle lens that was shot upwards from under the eye line making the legs and feet look oversized, and the heads a little undersized. Makes the feet look like the most prominent feature of the shot. As for the content... shock piece... we're talking about it, so it worked.
This is the kind of censorship I talked about. As artists, I believe we should all reject this madness.
On a social level, this kind of principal-less movement kept pumping out puritanical rules that interfere with art and humanity has to be rejected. We need to setup or return to a standard that we can follow regarding decency, and the standard should be universal instead of based on identity such as gender or color of one's skin.
World you pose your sisters or daughters of the same age this way?
Social media. These whispers from the prudish would’ve otherwise only be shared blushingly during a coffee break, never to be having had any significance or impact. Now everyone’s a hero.
