beyond fashion?

5 July, 2007 (09:23) | journaling, collage

“It’s going to be beyond fashion.” (quote from fashion mag.) Hmmmmm. If we think about just what that might really mean perhaps we don’t need the fashion mags or anyone else telling us what to wear.

I experimented with some magazine clippings after looking at some of the faces Teesha Moore has made. Mine didn’t turn out as well but I’ll get the hang of it.

I was a little bit appalled at how similar the facial proportions were in photos of the same size. One set of eyes or lips easily replaced those in a number of other photos. It says a lot about the narrowness of the fashion industry’s view of feminine beauty.
