Not sure who discovered this image. Could've been Huffington Post. Maybe it was With Leather. But there is now no question that Annie Leibowitz was modeling her cover photo of Lebron James and Giselle Bundchen after King Kong.
Above is a WW1 recruiting poster. Replace the club with a basketball, and it's essentially the same pose. I didn't get the controversy until I saw this. Now I get it. Still not sure if it's racist. Is Annie Leibowitz racist or is she merely echoing a famous image? Or is she just a provocateur?
One thing's for sure. She's bringing a helluva lot of attention to Vogue.
who knows, maybe it was sheer coincidence, or planned?
