Fashion And Nudity: The Best Combination Since Chocolate And Peanut Butter?

Over the past year or so, we've—happily—noticed an increase in the number of naked bodies in fashion spreads. Being easily distracted by fleshy bits, we've never really thought about why nudity is on the rise. But someone did.

And not only did they think about it, they wrote up a whole essay (complete with many links to examples of this naked fashion trend). According to Fashionising we can thank the following forces for the surplus of hot nude models: Terry Richardson, the mainstreaming of porn, ready and willing models, and, of course, the internet. Well, there's a little bit more to the argument than that, but that's the gist we got from the quick skim we did before dashing off to look at all their naked pictures.
