BASED TERRY
>Eight years after major fashion brands and publications said they would no longer work with Terry Richardson, following a string of allegations of sexual misconduct made against the renowned fashion photographer, he now appears to be making a comeback.
>This week, the magazine Arena Homme+ unveiled its latest issue, featuring two covers shot by Richardson and an accompanying portfolio. One cover consists of an image of a toilet cubicle graffitied with the text “Punk rock ruined my life.” Another is a shot of a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump’s face.
>Entitled For David, from Terry, the images are billed as a tribute to the US film-maker David Lynch, who died in January.
>The fashion and identity commentator Caryn Franklin describes Richardson’s return to newsstands as disappointing. “I am questioning why we would allow this man back to do more of the same, since there was no reckoning, no accountability and no apology from him,” she says.
>Speaking to the Guardian over email, Ashley Heath, the owner and editorial director of Arena Homme+ and its sister title POP, said he wanted to make clear that “publishing this portfolio is in no way an attempt to rehabilitate Terry Richardson’s career as a commercial fashion photographer, as is being claimed.
>“The work is in no respects ‘fashion’ … The magazine includes much content that is not fashion, and has done for more than 30 years. Terry Richardson’s portfolio is a powerful, personal tribute to the late David Lynch. No more, no less. I believe it is great work and is profound at this particular point in time on a number of levels. I would urge anyone to look at the entire portfolio, especially if David Lynch means anything to you. He is certainly a hero to us at Arena Homme+.”
