CGI Models Margot & Zhi Join Shudu In #Balmain Army; Is It The Beginning of the End for Humanity?
Everyone is welcome in Olivier Rousteing's #Balmain Army, a brand committed to diversity. The latest extension of the #Balmain Army includes CGI models (computer generated imagery). Rousteing worked with Cameron-James Wilson, the CGI artist and photographer behind Fenty Beauty's controversial Shudu model.
Controversy surrounded Shudu when she made her debut in March of 2018. With social media saying the unknown Shudu was just a little too perfect, Wilson explained to the clamoring crowds: ""Basically Shudu is my creation, she’s my art piece that I am working on at the moment. She is not a real model unfortunately, but she represents a lot of the real models of today. There’s a big kind of movement with dark skin models, so she represents them and is inspired by them. Obviously some models like Duckie (Thot) were definitely big inspirations for her as well."
Refinery 29 has followed the story from its inception, writing: "This did not sit well with people, who believe Shudu represents a lot more than one man's digital art project. The news of her non-existence has triggered an online backlash, with people quickly pointing out how problematic it is that she, a Black woman, was created by a white man and "hired" instead of an actual Black model, a demographic that remains underrepresented in the fashion and beauty industries."
We will add that the CGI models now join sex robots as idealized female creations of the male mind. It's an interesting philosophical consideration in the evolution of fashion and female models.
Shudu now joins two Balmain-exclusive, digital supermodels Margot and Zhi.
Model Lily Nova transports fall fashion into a cosmic future with ancient origians, styled by Alexis Roche. Alexandra Von Fuerst is behind the lens for the launch ofVogue's Czech and Slovak September 2018 issue.
Vogue CS is published under a licence agreement with Prague-based V24 Media, founded by MIchaela Seewald and Fabrice Biundo. Andrea Běhounková, a long-time contributor to ELLE Czech Republic and experienced fashion and lifestyle journalist is the magazine's editor-in-chief. The print magazine is published in Czech language, with Slovaks having a better understanding of Czech than the opposite.
The September issue featured model Karolína Kurková as former First Lady Olga Havlová, the first wife of national icon and last Czechoslovak President Václav Havel.

Now this great beauty joins Adut Akech, Akiima and Duckie Thot on the precipice of an international fashion career.
“I love it,” she says. “You feel like a princess; your heels might be hurting but you can’t let the audience know; you must walk gracefully and elegantly.”
