Gigi Hadid has not been known to shy away from controversial magazine covers in the past. She continues this trend with one of her latest digital covers for fashion, art and culture publication, Chaos Sixtynine Magazine.
On the more controversial of Gigi’s two covers, she is photographed with long, straightened platinum blond air dressed in a bulky orange jumpsuit that suggests either a fireman’s outfit or prison overalls. She appears to be carrying a limp and unconscious naked or near naked model on her back. The caption to her Instagram post of the cover says, “catch of the day / girls saving girls.”
We have Gigi’s two cover variants, including the one stirring the controversy, below. Many commenters found nothing wrong with the provocative image. However, a fair number felt that the image intentionally played on people’s feelings about a drowned or unconscious nude woman to sell a magazine. Others were concerned about the mixed messages being promoted by Gigi and Chaos Sixtynine in having an unresponsive-looking naked model appear, at the same time, as both a victim and a sex object.
What do you think of Gigi’s cover? Did it go cross over any line for you?
