Fashion Advertisements:Good or Bad? By: Stephanie Roman
My answer: BAD • Sets higher standards • Increases depression rates • Eating disorders • Misconstrues reality • Unavoidable
Higher standards • Perfect looking models • Extremely skinny • Flawless faces
8% 92%
Depression and Eating Disorders • Strive to be better • Focus on their flaws • Don’t look the way society wants • Want to be skinnier • Starve themselves
16% 84%
Misconstrues Reality • Editing • Photoshop • Make models look perfect • Unrealistic
Fashion Advertisements: GOOD • Generate millions of dollars in sales • Promotes merchandise well • Appealing to the target market • Raises awareness of brand
Nobody’s perfect • Be aware no one is perfect • Need to be happy on their own • Wouldn’t be as successful
In conclusion: • Fashion advertisements are bad • Serious damaging effects • Should be changed • Still advertise but in different way
