Werk 13,165 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018  I'm sorry but I'm tired right now and I'm bad at explaining anything in a fashionable manner   but I thought I would just bring this news to GGD considering how Gaga has worked with him. The accusation of popular photographer Mario Testino (and Bruce Weber but Bruce was accused before so we'll just make this thread about Mario, however, we can still discuss him in the comments) sexually exploiting and being sexually inappropriate toward male models is a news today (https://www.google.com/search?q=Mario+Testino&rlz=1C1EODB_enUS583US583&source=lnms&tbm=nws&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiv4-Hl7tbYAhVCct8KHfoZCmcQ_AUICygC&biw=1024&bih=734) If anyone is willing too then please do explain in the comments for other users  Anyways it's sad how these types of things have happened for a long time in the modeling industry (especially toward MALE MODELS) and people like him get away with it, not to mention how the model can get dropped just for even declining sex   SOME of his work with Gaga:   Both of these men have been dropped from Vogue   @PunkTheFunk  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Well sh|t. (Not saying that the allegations arenât true, but whatâs also concerning is we have no idea whoâs using this recent movement to make stuff up and who is telling the truth. One of my favorite actresses, Eliza Dushku, just yesterday announced an assault that evidently happened to her, and all this is leaving me so shook. Like, what if someone accused Gaga? Who is telling the truth? Who invented peanut butter and jelly? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarstruckIllusion 41,978 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 He's the guy who let Gaga do that blackface? Her most embarrassing photoshoot đ. Can't shed a tear tbh  EDIT: I know it's a mockery of the Jersey Shore tanning thing, as The Fame era as a whole was a satirical take of what it's like to be famous, dw. Im just playing around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood is really full of some ****ed up individuals, huh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doppelganger 3,740 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Testino was a douche in The September Issue tbh. His work is generally somewhat overrated too. Iâm bummed at the allegations against Bruce Weber though. I love his work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LastNight 4,116 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 There have been rumours about Testino for years. What an awful experience for the models who were victims of this, I hope they are ok. It must be an extremely confusing and traumatising experience, lets hope they get justice and are able to recover mentally from this experience. No one should have to deal with this, especially not at work. On another note... I posted a thread last week that Gaga is rumoured to be on US Vogue's March cover. The insiders on TheFashionSpot are pretty reliable, the user who posted this said the information didn't come from their usual source however and so to take it with a grain of salt. In the thread on those forums about these Testino allegations someone has claimed that he has photographed the next issue's cover (March issue). Now who knows if either of these rumours are true, but if they are I can imagine Vogue are scrambling to reshoot (especially as Anna Wintour released a statement saying that Vogue won't work with Testino and Bruce Weber for the forseeable future), and if it was supposed to be Gaga then let's hope they can find time in this next leg of the tour, because it will need to be done very quickly, within the next week I imagine. It could be that it was never Gaga for the cover, or it is her but it wasn't shot by Testino anyway, which would be the best case. I can imagine any publications and brands who have upcoming campaigns and covers shot by Testino are in a very difficult situation right now. Scrap the material and reshoot at great expense or release it anyway and issue some kind of statement of regret? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 9,227 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This is prevalent in the modelling industry. You'll probably find more photographers and designers who do things like Testino (allegedly) did than ones who don't. It's an industry entirely about good looks. Of course some shady old guys are going to try it on with young, attractive models, that's probably why they hired them in the first place. I love judas SO MUCH but I canÊčt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not excusing it, but if every sleazy photographer in the fashion industry got fired for acting sexually inappropriate no models would have portfolios. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
