Steven Meisel’s (NSFW) Dogging Spread

Vogue Italia is far from your mother’s fashion magazine. Helmed by Franca Sozzani, the rag isn’t afraid to push some buttons (the all-black issue for example, and a fashion editorial inspired by plastic surgery). Nor does it shy away from nudity. So when the magazine refused to run “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,” says New York Magazine, it immediately became obvious this spread was bound to raise some eyebrows (among other appendages). Fortunately, rather than be lost to Meisel’s archive, V Magazine will debut the titillating shots in its upcoming issue. And, even more auspiciously, NYM has a sneak peek at the racy spread (“pseudo-cunnilingus shot included!”). See for yourself, here.
