Kanye West, you have chosen the wrong smiling-blonde-lady.jpg to set up your campaign posters. On August 18, the independent presidential candidate tweeted a “KANYE 2020 VISION” poster with stock images of smiling people from all walks of life, including a close-up of a happy, sun-dappled Kirsten Dunst. The photo, it turns out, was taken by photographer Mario Testino and was by in Vanity Fair photoshoot in 2002. Dunst, who supported and publicly endorsed Bernie Sanders in the 2020 primaries, tweeting her confusion over the unauthorized use of her face on West’s campaign poster, replied, “What is the message here, and why am I separate? [sic] of it? With the shruggy lady emoji. And that is really the question we all want the answer to: What is the message here? Where is he going with? Why is this happening?
Look, we & # 39; re glad you’re having a reason to reflect on the ethereal beauty of Dunst in the post–Virgin Suicides time, but it’s a bummer that we need to talk about, because West is moving forward with this political project. West’s confused political wages aside, the aesthetics of this poster are not extremely. Under the control board of several smiling children and elderly people and workers in construction helmets, West also uses an image of Anna Wintour, because, yes, Condé Nast management is really what you currently want to associate your campaign with.
