VMAN magazine has released a photo fashion editorial shot by the fabulous Ellen von Unwerth (with styling Nicola Formichetti) which features the animated Dreamworks Characters from SHREK posing in some mildly suggestive, but hilarious editorial photos with scantily clad fashion models.The multi-page editorial coincides with the upcoming release of the latest movie in the SHREK franchise, Shrek Forever, on May 21st.The editorial is getting lots of flack for being in 'poor taste'. Despite being approved and signed-off by Dreamworks, it's been the subject on tv news magazine shows and radio shows and is getting very mixed responses. Lots of angry parents and disappointed SHREK fans seem to feel it places the lovable characters; Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Puss In boots, The Gingerbread man and Shrek triplets in inappropriate scenarios.In my opinion, the SHREK movies contain many adult references and have a very wry sense of humor meant for both young and old, the fashion editorial is in a magazine not read by children and is well-shot, composed and styled... all frankly, in good fun.So, if you can maintain your sense of humor, the following images will amuse you:above, Francisco wears:Leather and chain vest Bliss Lau Leggings and boots Dolce & Gabbana f/w 2010 Headband Alexander Wang f/w 2010 Arm warmers by Malene Birger f/w 2010above, Agnete wears:Top Alexander Wang f/w 2010Briefs Agent ProvocateurBody cages Heather HueyNecklace (worn as headband) Benoit MissolinShoes Designers Remix f/w 2010above, Emma wears:Bustier Agent ProvocateurShorts Designers Remix f/w 2010Leg warmers and shoes Alexander Wang F/W 2010Headband Benoit MissolinGloves by Malene Birger f/w 2010Paolo wears:Leggings and boots Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2010above: Francisco wearsCardigan and pants John Varvatos F/W 2010Ring BjørgBracelet Shamballa JewelsCross Necklace David YurmanBody chains (on torso and worn as belt) Bliss LauOn hair, Redken for Men:Maneuver Working Waxabove: Paolo wears:Hat By Malene Birger F/W 2010Pants J.
