Vogue’s latest. I’m a bit late to this controversy from Vogue India’s August 2008 issue, which included 16 pages of India’s peasants adorned with such items as the above Fendi bib.
“For our India issue we wanted to showcase beautiful objects of fashion    in an interesting and engaging context. We saw immense beauty, innocence,    and freshness in the faces of the people we captured. This was a creative    pursuit that we consider one of our most beautiful editorial executions. Why    would people see it any other way?” - Vogue India’s Editor
