The Alex Schultz “Kidnapped†editorial, shot by Guilherme Licurgo, for Brazilian brand On Speed, is a hardcore, rough and tumble, submissive set of photographs that features the model beaten-up, bloodied, blindfolded and with tied hands.
The Alex Schultz “Kidnapped†editorial, while a bit shocking, certainly embodies the adjective of the title as well as successfully showcases the myriad of designer clothes.
Implications - In today's society women are slowly reaching the top after a long hard climb in an immensely male dominated world. Magazine editorials such as the featured one for On Speed pushes the boundaries to extreme levels by focusing on the fall of man. Pushing boundaries is important for businesses, but they need to do it in a tasteful manner to gain customer appreciation.
