What’s with all the Nude Girls??

It’s pretty much impossible these days to visit any fashion site without seeking oodles of fully naked models. Samia and I were trying to figure out what that’s all about. The easy answer would be upping readership, but this is fashion, which yes, commerce matters, but the art does, too. I was saying sometimes we don’t know what the message of art is until after the movment has passed, but I’m wondering if this doesn’t indicate that we’re going through a period of renewal…a sort of out with the old and something new is just around the corner. We just don’t know what it is yet. Or it could be as simple as magazines/photographers have discovered there’s a new envelope on what they can get away with and they’re pushing it to find out the limit.
