PLASTIK on news Stands now - Congratulations Beyond Production

You may well ask why I have posted this image of some of the McCartney clan and friends applauding? Creative Director of PLASTIK magazine Eli Rezkallah has astutely achieved the ultimate aim of all good Creative Director's and that is creating a fashion story that makes the clothes look fabulous as well as being arresting and provoking debate. To get noticed is essential, fashion if used cleverly can impart issues in a non threatening way. 
I think the McCartneys will see this Kitch fashion editorial story as a dig at the love/ hate/nurture/slaughter relationship we have with animals.....After all it was McCartney who wrote 'Mary had a Little Lamb' for Stella who had a pet lamb when a child, this allegedly provoked the whole family to stop eating lamb.
You may look at these images and interpret them in a different way - that is what commercial imagery with a feel of art is all about......
