So I noticed this picture in the window of Tiffany's pearl concept Iridesse the other day. It got me thinking... People complain about what is the ideal what is being sold to people these days, the beautiful cover girl, the ideal of thin, our society's obsession with youth. Now, I'm a guy so I'm usually down with that pressure (to a point), but I noticed this picture and thought it is a new step in the selling of the ideal... First off, I've also seen this style before at other places which (of course) I can't remember now. To me this style looks similar to a fashion designers sketch and it sells the ideal of a youthful, skinny, curvy, and rich woman without having an actual person behind it. Interesting I thought, since there is no person they can basically use an model that is not based in reality and doesn't age! I found this interesting - of course, I could be looking to far into the sociological impacts of this picture.
