The Signature Pose
Fashion ads and editorials are very formulaic. Along with overpriced products, these ads typically show women as feeble, fragile, sometimes struggling to even stand up on their own. How do anemic models relate to haute couture? Unless the plan is to give products more personality than the people beside them, in which case they’ve hit their mark.
Here we offer galleries of some signature fashion poses, trite and true.
WEAK LITTLE PRETTY THINGS
Passive and frail, these girls are usually hunched or about to fall over.
SPREAD ‘EM
The classy crotch shot isn’t just for the tabloids.
EXHAUSTED… OR DEAD?
So strung out, you just might want to check her pulse.
These are very tired, aren’t they. These girls are so weak and scrawny…. it’s no wonder that reading fashion magazines makes you more likely to get an eating disorder.
