Madonna and Religion
As society, are we moving on from that [patriarchal] world?

Remote fashion shoots — where we had any fashion shoots — were increasingly common, as models took control of their own images and technological equipment.
Certain magazines went the extra mile in an effort to prove what was possible under difficult circumstances. Enter The V Time Machine. New York-based photographer Chris Colls, who quarantined in Soho, found a life-size, collapsible “studio” that was shipped around the world, with stops in Amsterdam, Greece’s Aegean Islands and Ibiza.
