Carine Roitfeld: Plaisir Solitaire

Carine Roitfeld and Steven Klein collaborated to devise a provocative editorial for the Fall/Winter 2009 issue of Vogue Hommes International, a meat locker melee entitled "Plaisir Solitaire." I wonder what was on Carine's mind the day she thought of this très bizarre take on solitary pleasure… Perhaps the image below by Guy Bourdin had struck her fancy… Or maybe she was intrigued by editorials such as "The Big Chill" by Vogue (2004) or "Meatpacking" by L'Uomo Vogue (2005), inspired to intensify the dark fantasy and give it her own twist. Whatever her impetus, model Johnny Angel would fetch a nice price on any meat market even splattered with the blood of a hundred cows.
