From Part Nouveau: Unremitting in his ability to shock, Helmut Newton would continuously skirt the status quote with his borderline-offensive and politically incorrect imagery. For Vogue’s February 1995 issue, Newton would cast model Nadja Auermann to model the latest stilettos accessorized with leg braces, canes and other orthopedic paraphernalia, complete with a wheelchair as a prop. The editorial, named “High and Mighty,” was largely viewed as offensive, however, many also received a sense of empowerment from the photographs. For i-D Magazine’s Winter 2010 issue, David Bailey would also employ a disability-chic theme in an editorial with model Abbey Lee Kershaw who was similarly equipped with casts, crutches and braces. -- source link
