Somebody call [PETA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biodegradable-leather-alternative) quick, and by PETA I mean, People for the Ethical Treatment of Accessories: Luis Martes' 'States of the Heart' project is a fashion shoot that features models, shoes, jewelry, and bloody [raw beef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pre-brands).

It's the models and accessories that get the raw deal here; they're shot covered by or clutching raw meat. Despite being a little gross, it's still great art. My favorite image from Luis Martes' 'States of the Heart' project is the one of the [gold stiletto stabbing a steak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carnal-umami-cut-beef-jerky). Delicious.
