Fashion Bin: Juergen Teller

Keeping it real is the theme du jour at That's Not My Age but I can't help wondering whether Juergen Teller's photos of Kristen McMenamy, 46, are a step too far. I understand Teller's warts and all aesthetic - it was provocative and refreshing in the nineties - but that was 20 years ago. Now his work feels tired, and insensitive as far as older models are concerned. Need I mention the Vivienne Westwood ad campaigns? I'm all for wrinkles over Botox, reality over Photoshop but this shoot for style mag 032c (a beautiful magazine that's maybe missed the mark this time) is deeply unappealing.

Get a Life

Ooh look, it's Vivienne Westwood in Juergen Teller's new book Get a Life, which features images from the designer's spring/summer 2010 campaign. You remember... the one with a skanky-looking Pamela Anderson. And continuing That's Not My Age's unroyal wedding theme, here's a quote from The Dame on The Dress:

'I would have loved to have dressed Kate Middleton but I have to wait until she catches up a bit somewhere with style.'

Now I could have used the image of Westwood knickerless at Buckingham Palace, but that would have been rude - wouldn't it?
