Well this is awkward...

Pardon the pixels, and even pardon the snarking...but this woman is no longer the visage of a powerful model or woman. She's the image of a woman uncomfortable with her age, trying to hold on to an image which stopped being possible a long time ago. She looks older than her years, sick, and above all tired. She doesn't inspire me. Her style is not unique or beautiful or even inspired. Can the fashion world please move on from a model who was successful, above all, for looking like a 12 yr old heroin addict (a pretty one though)? Can the stylish collective stop supporting this woman's obvious self destruction? She has a child for christ's sake. 

I am aware there is a lot you can poke holes in, or offer up other examples of why she is amazing. But I don't see it. I don't get it. I never will. It's my opinion. And it's not so much HER as a person (obvs, I've never met the woman) but what the continued obsession with her says about the industry, and maybe, all of us. You cannot look at her face and tell me she looks happy or healthy.

When I saw the title and the photo, I thought you were going to write "Well, this is awkward... ... because I have this same outfit at home."

I thought you were going to praise her when I first saw the pictures and I thought ugghh here we go... Yes I agree 100% I don't get it either. Her photographs now a days look life less and so overly photoshopped. Her style is okay too! So sad how she aged so fast!
