That's actually not an ad. It's a photo from the spring 2008 ready-to-wear show for Paris Fashion Week.
From Style.com: "Pulling in Richard Prince for this season's Louis Vuitton project was a typical Jacobs coup of multidimensional, referential, and self-referential significance. The artist's spray painting and texts were worked into LV bags, recalling the hit collaboration with Takashi Murakami. Prince's body of work also triggered a rerun of the 12 Carita-uniformed girls who opened that Murakami show, but this time, they were sexy nurses in see-through plastic coats--Stephanie Seymour, Eva Herzigova, Nadja Auermann, and Naomi Campbell among them. That hilariously kinky parade was inspired by Prince's Nurse paintings--one of which appeared on a Sonic Youth album cover, which again links back to Jacobs' family circle of personal reference."
Honestly, Marc Jacobs is amazing at times and confusing at other times, he's a creative type and goes off the deep end every once and a while. He's not mocking nursing or saying that we are all trampy broads in high heels. It's fashion, who the hell cares? These are the same people who put this on the runway and call it fierce.
Are ya really gonna put much weight on their opinion?
When I was in nursing school, the class bimbo did show up to psych clinicals in spike heels and a well-above-the-knee skirt!She did it once, anyway. I understand subsequent classes got a lecture on what "street clothes" meant in a nursing school context!
Guess she was confusing "street clothes" with "street walker clothes", or maybe confusing "street" and "professional" and created a "Street Professional"....
LOL. I kill myself sometimes. Then again, maybe I need to sleep?!?
