The Controversial SHREK Fashion Editorial For Vman By Ellen von Unwerth




VMAN magazine has released a photo fashion editorial shot by the fabulous Ellen von Unwerth (with styling Nicola Formichetti) which features the animated Dreamworks Characters from SHREK posing in some mildly suggestive, but hilarious editorial photos with scantily clad fashion models.

The multi-page editorial coincides with the upcoming release of the latest movie in the SHREK franchise, Shrek Forever, on May 21st.



The editorial is getting lots of flack for being in 'poor taste'. Despite being approved and signed-off by Dreamworks, it's been the subject on tv news magazine shows and radio shows and is getting very mixed responses. Lots of angry parents and disappointed SHREK fans seem to feel it places the lovable characters; Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss In boots, The Gingerbread man and Shrek triplets in inappropriate scenarios.

In my opinion, the SHREK movies contain many adult references and have a very wry sense of humor meant for both young and old, the fashion editorial is in a magazine not read by children and is well-shot, composed and styled... all frankly, in good fun.

So, if you can maintain your sense of humor, the following images will amuse you:
