# Boundary-Pushing Pictorials Controversial Mario Sorrenti 'City of God' Shoot for V Magazine By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-09-06 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-sorrenti-city-of-god References: [fashionising](http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--The-Holy-Mountain-of-fashion-4761.html) & [mariosorrenti](http://www.mariosorrenti.com/) The Mario Sorrenti 'City of God' shoot for V Magazine's Fall 2010 edition is causing quite the commotion. The shoot pushes boundaries with [nudity, sexuality, and religious references](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) strewn about. Model Natasha Poly manages to maintain her beauty (and surprisingly, ability to display clothing) while holding such compromising poses; however, the nature of the Mario Sorrenti 'City of God' shoot may be too much for some critics. With words like "blasphemy" and "perverse" being thrown around the blogosphere, there may be potential for a situation as messy as the post-cleanup for the shoot must have been. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Provocative Pictorials:** Opportunity to create controversial fashion campaigns that push boundaries with nudity, sexuality, and religious satire. - **Body Positive Photography:** Opportunity to create fashion campaigns promoting beauty and diversity through tasteful nude photography. - **Religious Satire in Advertising:** Opportunity to create advertising campaigns that push religious boundaries in a provocative way. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion and Apparel:** Opportunity to create edgy fashion campaigns that challenge conventional beauty standards. - **Advertising and Marketing:** Opportunity to create boundary-pushing advertising campaigns that attract customers through controversy. - **Photography and Design:** Opportunity to create visually stunning and provocative pictorials that challenge the status quo. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Naughty Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesels-xxxmas.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Provocative Guerrilla Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mwcurated.md) - [Disruptive Fashion Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks.md)
