The DIS Magazine Plank Girl Editorial is a Mix Between Memes and Couture

By: Kalliope Amorphous (Potential) Aug 2, 11

The DIS Magazine Plank Girl shoot shows David Toro bringing the world of planking to the world of fashion, merging Fall’s hottest fashion trends with an Internet phenomenon.

A model wearing Missoni and Givenchy levitates above a salon chair, another swings suspended in McQueen Wedges and a Givenchy skirt while another floats above a Mercedes in a Mario Schwab puffer jacket and Victoria’s Secret underwear.

Planking began as an Internet craze several years ago when bloggers began photographing themselves laying flat as a board in unusual and difficult locations. The more difficult and odd the location, the better the planking. In the DIS Magazine Plank Girl editorial, Toro takes planking to a whole new level, moving the Internet craze into the world of fashion photography.
