"Shrek of a Guy"
The upcoming VMAN Magazine (issue #18) shot on location at The Standard New York, is hitting newsstands April 20th. Costumer Nicola Formichetti (Lady Gaga’s stylist) and famed photographer, Ellen von Unwerth, pair Shrek characters from the Dreamworks animation with this year’s V a Model/Ford Models search winner Emma Dumont. It's a scream!
But since hitting the internets yesterday, Dreamworks seems less that enthused about the spread.
[Fashionista] A spokesperson told Fox News, ”In hindsight the studio would have declined to have the characters participate,” and the New York Post’s film critic even weighed in, “I don’t think Walt Disney would have allowed Snow White and Cinderella to appear in a magazine spread that made it look like they were about to participate in a menage a trois.”
So Fashionista asked Stephen Gan, the magazine’s founder and Editor-in-Chief, what he thought:
“I find the story funny, and it was done in good humor. As an editor of a progressive men’s magazine in America, one has to constantly think of celebrities, the most stylish models on the planet, and today’s male HEROES…that’s where Shrek comes in! My dream was to see this caliber celebrity make an appearance within a fashion story.
