Coles pulls mag with nude Miranda Kerr cover off shelves

Melbourne: Naked Miranda Kerr cover has prompted a supermarket, Coles, to remove Harper`s Bazaar Australia`s January issue from its shelves.Refusing to confirm whether any official complaint was made, a Coles spokesman said that in response to feedback from the customers, many of whom shop with their children, they had to remove the magazine, News.com.au reported.

Standing by the "artistic integrity of this image," Harper`s Bazaar Australia editor Kellie Hush said she was disappointed about Coles` decision as the cover is a beautiful artistic image taken by one of Australia`s best photographers, Steven Chee.Earlier, Coles had stopped selling Zoo magazine after a social media campaign`s protest.
