Vogue Italia is no stranger to controversy and the editorial "Haute Mess" is the latest addition to their list. The editorial features models Joan Smalls, Karen Elson, Jessica Stam, Guinevere Van Seenus, Lindsey Wixson, Daphne Groeneveld, Coco Rocha and Abbey Lee Kershaw in over the top hair, make-up and fashion. Fashion editor Lori Goldstein styled the models while photographer Steven Meisel captured the images for the magazine's March 2012 issue.
Vogue Italia says that the inspiration for the shoot are "messy drag queens" while others think that they're poking fun at the "ghetto" stereotype on black people. What do you think?
