Pull Out Your H1N1 Masks! Vogue Italia Spreads the Fashion Bug

By Beverly Fong

We've always considered our fashion addiction something like a disease, but Steven Meisel's newest editorial for Vogue Italia paints it as an epidemic of H1N1 proportions. Masked scientists armed with oxygen tanks track the flame-haired Rianne ten Haken as she moves from airport to pool, all in a valiant attempt to contain her fashion virus. The doctors hardly seem up to the challenge though, as the model's tight, bright '80s looks have them running, crawling, and diving into pools for cover. But if you ask us, this is one bug we're quite happy to catch.
