An Australian supermarket had to pull the latest edition of Harper’s Bazaar from its shelves as it featured model Miranda Kerr without any clothes on.
Coles withdrew the edition from sale after getting a large number of complaints.
This is the cover in question.
“In response to feedback from our customers, many of whom shop with their children, we removed the magazine from sale earlier this week,” Coles said in an emailed statement to Mashable Australia.
The company would not disclose to Mashable the number of complaints it had received.
“We’re now living in an era of Victoria Secret Angels, stolen nude photos and attempts to break the internet with reality stars in provocative poses,” Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Kellie Hush said.
“Harper’s Bazaar has long celebrated the daring woman — someone with vision, commitment, style – and a total lack of fear.
“Miranda may be naked but she’s a trailblazer and this cover celebrates this.”
