.... I totally second that !.... 'politics should start at home' ... but we always have to show how ' charitable, understanding and politically correct ' we are .... as long as it doesn't affect us personally or if possible far... far ... away from home !!! ... and to be' fashionable' is indeed to be 'politically correct ' ...

Congratulations to Camille for voicing (albeit with the faux disguise) the 'discussion about propriety' between Commissioning Editor and Freelancer that you often hear about in the industry by nobody ever admits to. How i laughed when i opened up the current Paris Vogue and saw the very same story about the chic woman in the wheelchair. Why, exactly, is that not 'correct', as Camille puts it?

why should artists be allowed to comment on a whole range of issues without feeling that it is not 'correct' where as people who work in fashion with every bit as much integrity and commitment to their work as any artist should feel this guilt about expressing their opinions and observation about the world around them? There is much more money handed round in contemporary art than in fashion ,the gallery system is just as much a money making machine as is any fashion brand, so just as much part of the capitalist system.
So don't you be guilted into not expressing your thoughts Camille. Say what you feel !

YES !!! say what you feel ..... and don't mind the high self-appointed priests/priestess of 'political correctness' ! ... who by the way in many cases have only managed to kill or suppress the ' freedom of expression ' by creating sometimes a climate of witch-hunting and often closed the avenues to debate about subjects of urgent need of thinking and serious moral or/and political debate ! ...
