'Psycho Killer': Can Fashion Be Too Provocative?

Some of the most controversial fashion editorials allude to violence and crime, which is why a Matt Irwin shoot for the June issue of Dazed & Confused likely will raise a few eyebrows. Referencing Patrick Bateman from 'American Psycho', the photographer both previews the autumn/winter menswear collections and captures an alternately crazed and blase murderer with his weapons of choice.

Is it too much to show a blood-spattered man with a knife across his mouth? Is this any better or worse than the Dolce & Gabbana ads that have been accused of referencing gang rape? Should we just focus on the clothes? Look at the pictures, and then tell us your take.

More images - and some gore - after the jump

Jessica Simpson Knows What Pretty Is

Well, that's what she's trying to tell TV networks. Jessica Simpson is reported to be working on a reality show called 'The Price of Beauty', which sees the singer and a friend travel the world to see what people find pretty and why. Plastered across the tabloids for her fluctuating weight, Simpson wants to expore how women's bodies are scrutinised.

So far, the show hasn't been picked up by network bosses. Would you watch?

Trovata v Forever 21: Mistrial Declared

The US District Court judge assigned to the Trovata v Forever 21 case has declared a mistrial, after a California jury failed to make a decision on whether designs from the budget-priced brand infringe on intellectual copyright. This comes after reports of possible misconduct from one juror.
