The world of fashion is exploding with trends, but one trend that fashion seems to be playing around with recently is the idea of projecting the message that women should love the body God gave them. But is their choice of spokeswomen the right ones?
Aussie model and former Miss Universe 2004, Jennifer Hawkins, recently posed nude for the Australian cover of Marie-Claire for their February issue. No big deal right? Wrong! This cover has stirred up all kinds of controversy because Hawkins appears unairbrushed on the cover. Not to mention many women are bashing the idea that a former Miss Universe and model could possibly represent real women.
Editor of Marie-Claire, Jackie Frank, was inspired to do the photo shoot, sans airbrushing, after reading the results of a survey in Australia about the feelings women had towards their bodies. Frank discovered that only 12 per cent of women were happy with their body.
Way go to Marie-Claire, with this cover you just made the other 88 per cent feel even worse about their bodies
