Conde Nast has sparked outrage by publishing an image of a male model choking supermodel Stephanie Seymour on the cover of Vogue Hommes International.
Women’s rights groups have written a letter accusing the publisher of “glorifying domestic violence as an act of love” and demanding they withdraw the magazine from sale immediately.
“Choking is not a fashion statement, and certainly not something that should be used to sell magazines,” the letter reads.
Sadly, magazines publishing images of violence against women is not uncommon. Do you think it should be banned?
