outsidersedge.blog were informed today of a controversial new fashion line.it has a wrestling theme to it and is causing quite a stir.its use of female nude imagery as well as firearms has seen its ads get pulled as well as being censored on major social media platforms.a quick trip to the brands website,headhuntersculture.com,shows quite the unique mix of wrestling title belts,ammunition and female models wearing,well…..not much.
the brands owner,d.benjamin rankins,is apparently a huge wrestling fan and is simply using these controversial images to express his love for the world of sports entertainment.but one would have to question,with the advancements of womens wrestling that have been made in the past decade,if using women in a potentially misogynistic way could set women in the industry back.
the world of wrestling has never seen elements of pornagraphy blended with the squared circle in such a way.but even in the increasingly hyper sensitive society we currently live in,theres also something to be said for freedom of speech.Point blank,an artist has the right to express themselves.and at the end of the day,isnt a win for a fashion line that is deeply rooted in wrestling a win for all of us who love this business?
