We live in an age where we are constantly trying to deconstruct and analyze the roots of modern standards for beauty. I know this better than most having spent most of my life in the high-stakes world of fashion modelling. Feminism in particular has become quite focused on it’s negative impact upon women, especially since we are living in the age of eating disorders and what not.
Whether it’s in tight corsets, super high heels, the booming cosmetic surgery industry and now the genius of Photoshop, I believe we have yet been unable to shed this seemingly permanent phenomenon and answer the (not so simple) question of “What is beautiful?”
You decide.
