Agent Provocateur's indecent exposure

Ap_h_2

As London's bobbies can attest, Agent Provocateur takes its name seriously—witness the lingerie brand's notorious window displays, known for lifelike (and flexible) mannequins, not to mention the occasional live striptease from Naomi Campbell or Kate Moss. Now, the company is putting out Agent Provocateur: Exhibitionist, an anniversary collection with ten years of highlights—including the time its visually arresting displays came closest to producing an actual arrest. In 2003, a typically gory Damien Hirst installation featured a severed cow's head. Indecency charges wouldn't stick, but AP was informed staffers could be jailed for not having a license to sell or display meat. (Pun presumably not intended.) Hirst had fooled them, however—for once, he'd used fiberglass and fake blood. More importantly, lingerie sales continued apace.
