FASHION QUESTION: JUST HOW RIDICULOUS ARE MODELS' POSES IN MAGAZINES, REALLY?

Posted by Melanie Rickey, Fashion Editor at Large

Most people would agree that fashion photography conjures up a wonderfully different world – completely removed from the realities of everyday life – but to make that point in a clever and powerful way is pretty hard. Step forward Madrid-based artist Yolanda Dominguez, whose most recent piece recreated fashion magazine poses in normal situations. The results, particularly the public reactions, are funny, thought-provoking and revealing.






I don't know what took me so long to find this. The woman with the bag on her head in the Madrid alley outside the grocers shop is genius. I would love to hear your thoughts.

ADVENT DAY 20: CLICK CLICK CLICK!

Heaven is Real (Kate eyes shut) 1991 by Corinne Day

Heaven is Real (Kate eyes open) 1991 by Corinne Day 


In my other life I collect fashion photography. Also in my other life I would have these prints on the wall of my study and looking up at them I would feel happy and soothed by the angelic beauty of the Mossy aged 17.  As it is these prints are top of my fantasy Christmas wish list. I gave Corinne Day's gallery Gimpel Fils a quick call just now just to see how much they cost, a step I haven't taken before. I usually just admire them on the website. They cost £10,000 each + VAT.
