The folks at Copyranter call this the "most disturbing image" in the Barneys New York holiday catalog. Okay, we kind of see where they're coming from—it's a photo of a model wearing an $80,000 necklace and a dead octopus as a wig on her head. (By the way, the dead octopus isn't actually available for purchase at Barneys.)
