Please let me speak to you of the fashion to woman
and men in the arena of the media.
Note that all is not as it seems, indeed a make-
over on models and the complimentary fashions of
clothes to the model standard. What conclusions
can we come to, the feeding frenzy of magazines
and the looping of image over substance, age, or
real shape of the average person. The creation of
supermodels to answer the softening effects of the
camera.
We hope that concern for our self-image is not
brought on by the vanity of models features. We
hope
to sell fashion in the fashion scene. But the
reckoning is a disconnnection of reality of ordinary
lives
for the expense of the fashion photographer. Our
self-image brought from the very depths of
childhood can be
damaged by the machinations of the photo and the
race to make perfect their image to fashion
Could we expect nothing less from an industry built
on hype, the image perfect, and the money that
generate real interest in talent of the clothes in the
fashion industry. Give them a chance, maybe, but
please
give me the chance to say we must not be taken in
but we are. I hope that we are able to decipher our
self-image
to the image that we are. To feel comfortable under
our own skin. Helpful it is not but hey what can be
done.
There are movements of change and I believe this is
one of them in your work to reverse the trend.
Good
luck in your endeavours.
