Miranda Kerr, really? We’re happy for you that you’ve just been named Esquire magazine’s sexiest woman alive and if you wish to mark that honour by stripping down to your underwear?
Your call. Whatevs.
But the fur coat (which by all accounts is real and even if it’s not, certainly APPEARS real and thus glamourises fur) is many shades of wrong.
The shoot certainly doesn’t appear to be particularly in keeping with the supermodel’s usual ‘be kind to yourself and the world’ message. (the interview that goes with the shots is interesting too….you can read Miranda’s comments including that she might have been a koala in a previous life here).
Nor, it seems, is it in line with her Australian employer David Jones’ anti-fur policy. Both major Australian department stores, Myer and David Jones have recently announced strong anti-fur positions.
Earlier this month Myer confirmed that they would be giving their customers what they wanted an instituting a full blown fur ban in their stores.
