Stefano Tonchi said: "I want
W to be a little be divisive and unexpected." The November cover, features
Kim Kardashian, "someone very different from what you expect for the magazine. November is the art cover, so we collaborated with an artist, and we have a great reality TV person!" Ms Kardashian was photographed by
Mark Seliger, and
Barbara Kruger the artist collaborated on the art. "December is a very special 'family issue,' with kids!" adds Mr Tonchi.
Dear Anon: What I really fail to understand is... why this cover is supposed to be 'art'.

Dear Anon: She is ripping herself off, and thinking herself very cool. It's banal and desperate isn't it?
