Not this again.
This is Vogue Italia's March 2014 cover.
It features Dutch model Saskia de Brauw in high fashion looks and lots of face and body paint, posing with taxidermied animals.
The inside editorial by Steven Meisel, titled Abracadabra, portrays the white model in tribal warpaint.
And though there's no explicit blackface in the pages, the shoot certainly does call up tired tropes about the “exotic Other.”
De Brauw's limbs are messily bronzed, and she's wearing vaguely ethnic facepaint.
