Real Women in Fashion September 1996
We welcome the recent dialogue in the Globe about the fashion industry's glamorization of young thin models. Seventh Avenue continues to encourage women to want the lives, bodies and clothes that have nothing to do with who they are. Last season many styles were body conscious, leaving little choice for woman flattered by looser designs. We have real women in mind when we buy and work very hard to find beautiful clothes for women with "real" bodies. It's time the fashion industry looked to women for inspiration, not the other way around.
one man's PERSPECTIVE
"Consider an essay on the ornaments worn by women; on their feelings for clothes and other things, their ways of observing and combining them. All day long they compare a thousand visible things that go unnoticed by men." ——an entry in the notebooks of DEGAS
