Beauty, retouched: Is natural beauty just not beautiful enough?

Dec 15, 2011 / Blog

charlotte.gush / advertising, age, All walks, all walks beyond the catwalk, allwalks, body image, diversity, fashion, natural beauty, photoshopped images, post production, real beauty, retouching, Zina Graber /

The ‘retouching’ of imagery is all around us; the process is used to ‘perfect’ most, if not every, photograph within the media. Natural beauty is often disguised by the detailed manipulation of ‘imperfections’ during the post-production process, producing a glamorous illusion of many icons in our culture. Magazine editors have argued that the reasoning behind [...]

Spanish political group the Convergence and Union (CIU) has presented a proposal to the Government, urging them to take action against eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia in Spain. The initiative proposes reinforcement of the computer offenses investigation team, to deal with unlawful website content relating to eating disorders. The proposal also requests that [...]

H&M’s SUMMER MEN!

charlotte.gush / age, All walks, all walks beyond the catwalk, allwalks, h&m, MARIA LLANOS, men / 0 Comment

I found H&M’s last advertising campaign very refreshing; not only for the light and beach portrayed but for the male models they chose to wear the swimmear designs. The models are Andrés Velencoso, one of the most famous Spanish models, and Ben Hill, an American model ranked amongst the top ten world models. Both are [...]

For many, the shop mannequin is the first point of real contact that they have with a design, which they may previously have seen on the runway or in the media, and this experience informs how they may wear the garment. Window displays have been a integral part of the shopping experience ever since the [...]

SLINK: THE NEW 14+ FASHION GLOSSY

May 27, 2011 / Blog

SLiNK magazine is a new online fashion publication aimed at women who are size 14 and above. Editor, Rivkie Baum, trained as a designer and worked as a stylist and freelance journalist before moving into personal shopping, and then a retail-based styling role for plus size women. It was this experience that opened her eyes to the gap in the market for a plus size magazine with the same aspirational qualities as the major industry glossies.

As colleges gear up to show their latest collections at Graduate Fashion Week, we at All Walks can reveal that diversity is firmly on the agenda. Students at Edinburgh College of Art have been working with All Walks on a project that replaces inanimate tailor’s dummies with real and opinionated women, who give the students [...]

The Ever Changing Female ‘Ideal’: 1960 – 2010 (part 2)

I completely love everything about the 1960’s, the fashion, the music, the art and the entire zeitgeist of the decade. However, the curvy and glamorous ideal of previous decades changed suddenly to a preference for slim, boyish frames. Female ideals consisted of very slight, slim figures, with short pixie crops and heavy eye make up. [...]

This image portrays the female beauty ideal in the early 1900s and the decades previous. The curvaceous and soft lines of her body represent the freedom of expression and the true, honest beauty of the female body. Women with this weight on their body nowadays could feel negatively about it due to today’s ideals, however, [...]

When I read the title of the article, ?My most beautiful flaw? in the May issue of Spanish Glamour magazine, I was shocked to see the word flaw related to something positive. I kept on reading and realized that the article was more an illustrated report, featuring five models with special physical characteristics – usually [...]

Look’s curvy supermodel: Clothes modelling for real women, by real women?

The average British woman is a size 14. Yet the average model, the very platform for showcasing the clothes that ‘everyday’ women are going to buy, is a considerably smaller size 6. Surely, there’s something not right here? How can we judge fashion when we know that it’s not going to look the same on [...]
