I've remarked on Lara Stone's transformative qualities before now, and her latest editorial is no different. Shot for the October 2009 issue of Vogue Paris, one might describe it as a world tour for Stone; there's black Stone, white Stone, Arabian Stone, Far Eastern Stone, and Venetian Stone. As such, there's also a large chance of this editorial causing controversy.
Naturally, it shan't be Venetian Stone that ruffles a few feathers. The dark skinned pictures of Stone, with all their Al Jolson overtones, may do it instead. Not that I personally think anything of it but, in an industry where black models receive far less work than their white counterparts, this is certain to rise the ire of at least a few people.
For all the pictures from the editorial, click on the thumbnails below.
