Louis Vuitton: Through A Glass, Dorkily

Louis Vuitton PSD
In a bracingly antideconstructionist denouement Steven Meisel reinterprets the dichotomatic nature of classic Hegelian dialectics in the semiotically heterodoxical form of a "mirror reality" in which Natalia Vodianova is not touching her breast, thus representing, inter alia, a signification of reordered gender realism bananabread wingnut hatstand homeschooler.

Nor is it the only picture in which the reflections don't match reality.

Up is down!
North is left!
And so on.

More reflection woes in other images if you follow the link (1st one great example!) But the reflections aren't the only thing wrong...

The right arm of the girl on the right... I don't think that is a natural elbow position!

Also, same girl, compare her shoes to the ones sitting on the box to the left... She wouldn't be able to fit her toes in!

Also: the mirrored light bulb next to her is magic, only visible in mirrors.

This post is disqualified on the grounds that you didn't use the word "heteronormative".

Fu Xi said...

I think the second-last pic in the gallery is even worse... have a look at the mirrors at the back, especially the leftmost and the one to the right :-D

tome said...

The worst thing about this is they are wearing pizza colours. Seriously they're chromatically matched with the Meat Lovers Special with extra sauce.

Oh and it's all screwed up.

Ron said...

Big name client, big name photographer. How could they overlook reflections in so many shots when it is a series shot in front of very prominent mirrors. We aren't talking about something reflected in a belt buckle or a compact mirror, it's plain as day. Well it is to anybody except photographer, retoucher and client, in this case.

You have to truly understand the art, the lines between the lines, as my high school literature teacher always said.

The subtle difference between the real woman and her image in the mirror configures a transgression against the well stablished, but cruel system, of nearly unbreakable physical laws. Thus this picture is a perfect example of a fight for freedom, as it clearly computer homework pizza bacon airbag what da heck. (cont. p. 107)

ZaphodQB said...

'pizza bacon airbag....' Yep!

Bananabread... mmm...

whats up with the right chicks legs?
all messed up

Jason said...

I know nothing about PS, but I do know when a project is passed through multiple inapt hands. This has to be the pinnacle.

Gabriel Dias said...

No one is going to make a comment on the right girl's back? It seems her shoulders have been completely dislocated.
Even though this one I admit it MAY be a real picture but.... if it is so HOW UNFLATTERING (and painful) is THAT?

Donna said...

The red-headed lady on the left side of this imaage ... Check out her left arm.

Is that even possible?

I am not a physician or anything, but it looks like her limb may very well be strickened with Gumbyitis.

Claude said...

The redhead - What exactly is happening behind her left ear? It can't be hair, and it can't be a scarf.
Could someone please enlighten me as to what the neutral-colored mass is supposed to be?

NOTE - Its much more noticable in the original image.

doka said...

Oh Great One who choses which images to put on this blog... Could you please set up a weekend project for the rest of the pictures apparently associated with the one here?

Even if you do not allow any reflection remarks, we could keep EXTREMELY busy on the missing shadows, the gloves that seem to be "painted on" as an afterthought, whether or not someone could actually walk in some of those shoes, the fluxuating size of the some of these models' hands, and educated guesses as to which pieces of furniture were actually there when the model was "photographed" (and I use that term very loosely).

BONUS QUESTIONS: Are ultra squished bosoms supposed to be (1) attractive, and/or (2) comfortable? [Looks to me they purchased the wrong size dresses.]

Donna said...

If they tried harder I bet they couldn't make the middle model's right boob look any more artificial.

(My dress can't do that.)

doka said...

I just suggested:

"Could you please set up a weekend project for the rest of the pictures apparently associated with the one here?"

CORRECTION: I just browsed through the other photos in the series again and realized that it is actually going to take much, much longer than one weekend....

Bob O'H said...

It's not a PSD, they just bought their mirrors from Rooms To Go.

bnjohn said...

thanks a lot!

ZaphodQB said...

Ben, the legs look strange because they are feet.

John Riley said...

from Zaphod: "Ben, the legs look strange because they are feet."

Yep, that almost made me pee my pants. Still, I think you should have said "are supposed to be feet".

S said...

Though I can't explain anything that's going on in the picture, I can tell you that the red-haired model is Karen Elson.

Jonny Dade said...

Oh jeez, what a horrible thing to see first thing on a monday morning. Has this picture been left out in the sun over the weekend, to allow it to decompose a bit more? It's horrible, i don't know where to begin...

On a lighter note, what is Breitling? Do you know Breitling Watches?

Miranda said...

I see hot chicks in cute clothes and a LOT of clutter. I'm not sure I can even figure out where the reflections are coming from and what they're supposed to be doing...it just blends with the clutter behind the girls!

Aw fuggit, hot girls, cute clothes, I'm just going to enjoy it!

Current Resident said...

Aside from the obvious PsD problems in this photo session, the visual chaos around the models is driving my eyes and brain insane!

It looks like an explosion at a meat factory or tannery.

Current Resident said...

And how dumb is it (in the photo series that this photo came from) that in a couple of the photos, the women appear to be touching up their lipstick with gloved fingers?

Look, the skin-tight leather opera gloves are CLEARLY made from vampire skin, and render your hands transparent in a mirror.
