This haunting image was shot Yohji Yamamoto’s Autumn/Winter 1988-’89 catalogue. I love it.

I think it is discusting that these women smoke like this, young girls look up to these models and see them as icons. They have a social responsibility to not help young kids think that smoking is cool.
Blah, blah, blah you don’t like smoking. Take it somewhere else, this photo is beautiful.
Wanted: Yohji Yamamoto’s Autumn/Winter 1988-’89 catalogue. Been looking for months.
Thanks,
