Vogue Deletes Coverage of MaraJoara Show
Written by Daniel P Dykes
The response to swimwear label MaraJoara's controversial fashion week show has been overwhelmingly positive with support for MaraJoara's actions surfacing across Australia, from health experts, to media outlets, to the general public.
Disappointingly, fashion magazine Vogue Australia has decided to drop their coverage of the MaraJoara show from their website. As pointed out by Vogue Australia users and Fashionising members, coverage of the show was put up on their website Thursday morning, but by the afternoon had been removed without explanation.
It's highly disappointing that Vogue Australia chose not to remain impartial to the alleged thread by Australian Fashion Week organisers to scrap the show, instead opting to remove some excellent photos of what was a great show. One is left questioning how a designer's choice of models has any impact on Vogue Australia; and, in turn, exactly what is their real interest here? Wouldn't one expect Vogue Australia to support Australian designers and to provide full, unbiased coverage of an event like Australian Fashion Week?
