Australian Supermarket giant Coles have pulled copies of the January/February edition Harper's Bazaar, which features Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr nude on its cover. The magazine was removed because of feedback from the store's customers. The cover photo was reportedly deemed inappropriate by the store's executive.
"We didn't think the cover was appropriate for our stores so the decision was made," a Coles spokesman told Fairfax Media.
Harper's editor-in-chief Kellie Hush who spoke to Fairfax said she was disappointed regarding the decision.
"We are living in an era of Victoria Secret Angels, stolen nude photos and attempts to break the internet with reality stars in provocative poses," 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 is a trailblazer and this cover celebrates this." she added.
