Australian menswear label Calibre tapped celebrity and fashion photographer Terry Richardson — Barack Obama owes him one of his finest portraits — for their summer 2008 campaign. Yes, remember? Summer is about to kick in down under.
Stuffed animals and especially monkeys are nothing new in Richardson’s work, but since the same kind of toy popped up in a Jeremy Kost editorial yesterday, there could be a disturbing trend here…
At least Chad White does not rip his monkey apart. His childhood innocence turning dark only results in a newspaper going up in flames, flowers eaten alive, and good-boy/bad-boy moments like the one pictured below.
The final edits and the behind-the-scenes shots are all in the gallery.
