Fashion Porn


W is my favorite fashion magazine. It is fashion porn. From the May issue: "If you visit any major art museums in the summer of 2008, don't be surprised if you find yourself under interrogation about your sex life. For an upcoming project backed by the Prada Foundation, artist Francesco Vezzoli plans to reimagine the Kinsey survey, subjecting museumgoers around the world to questionnaires about their sexual behavior, with an emphasis on fetishes and perversions. While the project is still in the planning stage, word is that the computerized study might be offered in private booths, where titillating video images will reward those who agree to answer the most intrusive questions." Of course, Vezzoli created "Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal's Caligula."
