It's not about nudity. It's about consent. It was very unprofessional of Nylon Germany to not contact Billie or her team before publishing the cover. Also, publishing that cover could mean that they are going to make money using her image, again without her knowledge. That's just not right. I'm actually quite shock that a well known magazine brand, like Nylon, could make such a rookie mistake.

Okay. As a 17 year old, I'm going to put my input on this. It doesn't matter if it's just showing her shoulders, it still gives the person a thought of, "Oh, she's shirtless." And the fact that they didn't let her know that they didn't let her in on this so she could put her input on this is wrong. Yes, I get it, she's in a magazine, but she or her parents/guardian or even her manager needs to be consulted before this happens. It's not okay. And whether or not the image looks like her doesn't matter, they still stated that it was Billie and posted it. They need her consent. Or her parents consent. That's final.

Okay, clearly not as a 17 yrs old, My input's its a common sense to just ask for permission when using someone else stuff for what even reason but its for fkin charity.... if it belongs to someone else doesn't matter...

As a 16 year old, I agree with you. I personally wouldn’t care if someone used a “revealing” photo of me, as long as I AGREED TO IT. Just posting some image that I never consented to? I would be livid. Plus if I WAS uncomfortable, I’d still be uncomfortable as an adult.

But if the person you are depicting hasn't consented to it and later tells you they aren't fine with it, you have to take it down, no complaints.

This artist was simply creating an image to honor Billie, nothing else.

[@nyver8845]

"she should be happy that she's on a magazine cover." She's on HUNDREDS of them! And each and every one respected her of her style and her choice. They had her *consent* . How would you feel if some random magazine suddenly made you their cover without having any of your consent or knowledge about the whole situation? Not only this, but she clearly was also not pleased with how it looked. So what if laws had to do with anything? This is against human rights. Yes, she is a public figure and a very famous celebrity, but she is HUMAN. They should still remember that. At this point, they're just coming off as disrespectful. I am a fan of Billie, but even if I wasn't, I would still be rambling on about these things.

[@avettcore]

If anyone thinks that Billie or anyone else is overreacting to this, put yourself in her shoes. Imagine you’re a teen, and suddenly you see yourself ALL over the internet in a magazine cover. Normally, you would be happy, but you had no idea that this was even going on. It was WITHOUT consent. Also, it was implied that you were shirtless in the art and were bald, too. Personally, I would be very upset if this happened to me, and I think a lot of other teens would be too. People forget that celebrities are human too. They have feelings and emotions, especially about how they’re portrayed in society and in the media. I think that if Billie hadn’t spoken up for herself, it would also have been viewed negatively by some, because people could’ve seen THAT as in that she doesn’t care about her image. Billie is 100% in the right. You can’t change my mind on this. Consent is everything.

As someone from the US, it is true. My middle and high school banned spaghetti (skinny) strapped tops, clothes with potentially lewd or offensive logos, and shorts/skirts that are shorter than the level of where your hands fall when they hang by your sides. Whether kids get caught or not is another story (perhaps dependent on favoritism or the attitude of the eyewitness), but if people got caught, they were forced to go to their gym locker and wear their dirty gym clothes for the rest of the day, or loaner clothes from students who lost their clothes years ago. These rules, of course, mostly affect girls, and the people who got caught more often than not were girls. I only got caught twice, once in middle and once in high school. For reference, middle school is the same as junior high school, between elementary (grades can vary, but mine was K-5) and high school (grades 9-12, for the most part).

I see nothing wrong with the artist making the art, so many people make artwork of their favourite music artists, actors etc. I think the issue to me is the magazine using it for gain, without consulting her. Like that makes it seem like she agreed to be on the magazine and they know more people would buy it that way if they’re fans of hers.

I'm glad Billie Eilish has the courage to stand up for herself like this. Sure, maybe she did draw more attention to this issue than I personally think was needed, but this will be important in the future if any more outstanding issues arise.

While it is only her shoulders, it gives the impression that she isn’t wearing a shirt. Even if it didn’t look like she was shirtless, I can definitely see why she was upset by the fact that they wrongly portrayed her and without her permission. It’s messed up that she had to find out she was on this cover through social media. Imagine if this had gone to print and wasn’t posted or she just didn’t come across it. She may never have known given that the magazine is in a different country, which means that fans in that country would have had a different image of her than she wanted without her even knowing.

As a mom, I'm more upset about the blatant presentation of her - in Germany of all places - as 1) a latex fembot ("dehumanization" fetish that sexualizes her) and 2) bald in a country where they're cracking down on their own skinhead youth. Removing her clothes and her hair is just ... way too creepy.

[@kiley9106]

In the cover art I see no "body" in the picture.

[@PrincessOceanna]

I don't think the artist's interpretation of Billie was wrong, there's millions of fan art done by people WITHOUT the artist's consent and I personally don't think that you need consent from every single artist/celebrity to draw/paint/digitalize a picture of them. However, I do think that Nylon was short-sighted for not asking consent from her/her team for doing a piece on her especially for being a PUBLISHED magazine and not some tabloid that trashes people. Using her as a COVER without informing her is clearly monetary driven and less so appreciation/support driven as they have stated.

[@bunniecakes5506]

I can see why people would think Billie is being “stuck up” or “rude”, but the fact is she gave no consent to a picture of her being shown shirtless (wether it’s real or not), neither did she approve of the image at all -if then wanted to respect her they should’ve asked.

[@marigriffiths458]

exactly. of someone did that to me I'd be uncomfortable espeically if they hadn't mentioned it to me or knew me. if someone asked me I may think it's really cool or admire the concept.

[@T2G-DJT]

Although I can agree, I don't think she has the right to approve of things such as fanart or cgi work, such as the magazine. It's like saying Trump is allowed to ban mocking pictures of him because he didn't consent to it.

[@hiddenexit1027]

@@T2G-DJT I agree with everything you said! except that's not it at all. Art being fan art or whatever kind of art, even if it's insulting to someone (like your Trump example) is fine. Even if Trump hates it, even if it's mean, It's still "okay" to do without any consent whatsoever. This was the cover of a magazine. An advertisement. Not just an art interpretation. A magazine that induces Sales based on their own interpretation. Still sounds okay right? Well... It's okay to sell celebrity fan art. It's not okay to make art out of a celebrity (or anyone) & then use it Commercially for Potentially Enormous Benefits without the person's consent. I hope this helped you understand a little more! If not, then i'd love to talk more with you. Have a wonderful day.

[@moonlightwolf8359]

I’m gonna be honest, when I got over here to watch this I was entirely ready to get annoyed with Billie, heck I don’t even like most of her music. I was expecting this to be about some creepy fan art of her on deviant art or something. But then it turned out to be an issue that I can really empathize with. I can understand the people who are like “it’s just her shoulders. It’s not being sexualized!” But that’s really not the issue. At all. It’s the fact that a magazine did this without her consent, or even telling anyone on her team about this. They went behind her back to portray her in a way that she was ok with. THATS the issue. So Billie, I can respect the fact that you have the guts to stand up for how you portray your own body image. You go girl.

[@moss.notpanic]

well, if it was a straight up image of Billie they should've asked her, her team, or maybe the photographer. But it's art, I can publish my art without needing the consent of Billie, even if the main character in the piece is Billie herself.

A dress code really isnt necessary (including when the dress codes at schools are often more pushy then most real jobs) And its honestly harder for the kids with less money. Schools make you go out and buy new clothing for no reason. I can assure you, a kid that is in low class can afford OK clothing, most people in high school where basic stuff (hoodies, plain shirts, etc...) They aren't coming to school in rags. Dress codes are pointless and cause more disruptions.
