Power and The Fashion Industry

So as I struggle through my second term workload I recently started research for an essay on the fashion industry. I came across a very interesting talk by James Scully as part of The Business of Fashion Voices series (linked below). The casting director talked on the unfair treatment and well,  pretty much abuse models suffer at the hands of stylist and designers.

Some interesting points were risen about the loss of individuality and diversity that seemed to have come and gone in the industry. James Scully mentioned how labels such as Prada adopted a 'look' which defined the industry of a girl, with no shape and lack of femininity becoming essentially the face of fashion. As a result a domino effect occurred whereby other labels created copycats of this one look and saturated the entire industry.

Such a shocking insight into the fashion industry but worth a watch!
