Call us on 9367 60 44 or email at [email protected] In this issue of DnD’s Newsletter, we are examining d i v e r s i t y and d i s a b i l i t i e s in the modelling and fashion industry. Fashion has to do much more … if it is serious about c a t w a l k d i v e r s i t y. Reading certain sections of the media over the past few weeks you might have thought that we were living in a golden age of diversity in fashion. Modelling – so the narrative goes – is finally opening its doors to people who reflect the eclectic beauty of the world’s population, with models with disabilities among those being welcomed to the fold. This month Jillian Mercado, who has muscular dystrophy, was signed to IMG Models, the same agency as Gisele Bu ndchen. The American fashion blogger and editor has also featured in a Diesel campaign and has been photographed by the high priestess of fashion, Carine Roitfeld. Also this month, Madeline Stuart, an 18-year-old Australian who has Down’s syndrome, was announced as the face of cosmetics brand GlossiGirl and cast to walk at New York fashion week in September. Mercado and Stuart are not the first Above: Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte on the catwalk for models with disabilities to win headlines. Vivienne Westwood. In February the actress Jamie Brewer, Story, and who has Down’s syndrome, appeared on the catwalk for the US designer Carrie Hammer, while Armani collaborator Antonio Urzi’s designs were modelled by models with disabilities. In June the Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte – who has cerebral palsy and has starred in a Gap campaign – walked for Vivienne Westwood. This handful of examples is a drop in the ocean of a multibillion-pound global industry, but it does represent “some increase” in the use of models with disabilities, says Cat Smith, a doctoral researcher at London College of Fashion. “In general there is real cultural invisibility when it comes to disabled people – in fashion, on TV, in film, in politics, in writing,” she says. “So it’s certainly important to see disabled models, because seeing people who look like you is important in fostering empowerment and making you feel a little less invisible. Visibility also creates a more realistic representation and understanding of the lives of disabled people. “But what I find frustrating,” she says, “is that you see the same thing over and over again. Fashion week comes around, a couple of shows include disabled models – and that is a good thing – but the coverage that follows is often quite patronising. It often becomes a fuzzy, inspirational human interest story, aimed at a non-disabled audience, rather than a step towards real inclusivity.” The representation of models with disabilities is particularly paltry in the UK, according to Chelsey Jay, a campaigner and director of the models with a disability division at non-profit organisation Models of Diversity. Jay started using a wheelchair three years ago and argues that models should be representative of the population. (According to the latest government figures, 19% of the British population, more than 11 million people, have a disability.) “I’ve gone from seeing myself represented in fashion to being totally ignored, essentially because I am now sitting down, which is ridiculous.,” says Jay. “I’ve always loved fashion – it can be so empowering,” she says. “But it also feels like that popular friend who is sometimes so nice to you and other times makes you feel like the worst person alive. It’s a big fat contradiction. [The industry] seems permanently on the cusp of change, but it never quite gets there.” Above: Chelsey Jay, from Models of Diversity. Often fashion’s arguments for not using models with disabilities are the same as those it cites for not using anyone over a size 10. Designers claim that models are not meant to reflect society but to be walking clothes-hangers – and clothes- hangers do not have breasts or wheelchairs. Jay believes that argument is long out of date: “You can’t say that models are just mannequins. Things have moved on – models have an identity and a fan base through social media. One modelling agent told me that they are not trying to represent everybody, they are only trying to represent an elite group who buy that clothing, but disability is the one thing in the world that can affect absolutely anyone.” Jack Eyers, a personal trainer and amputee who also works with Models of Diversity, has had great Above: Madeline Stuart, 18, walked the catwalk for New York Fashion Week in September, 2015. success as a fitness model (including featuring on the cover of Men’s Health) and more mixed experiences in fashion. He walked in the Antonio Urzi show at New York fashion week and loved it. “He made my leg part of the look, which I think is exactly the best way to go for people to accept [disability].” But in general, he says: “I think people look at the health and fitness side of things as inspirational, but in fashion it’s more of a one-off sob story – ticking a box. I don’t think, in fashion, people are viewing [models with disabilities] as attractive.” Jay agrees that tokenism is rife. “Brands say, ‘we used a girl with Down’s syndrome three years ago’. But we are fighting for the same treatment, not special treatment.” She cites US catalogue Nordstrom as a rare exception, where models with disabilities are used every season, as a matter of course. In designer fashion, there’s much praise for the 1998 collaboration between Alexander McQueen and athlete Aimee Mullins, who starred on the cover of Dazed & Confused’s famous “Fashion-able” issue and walked the McQueen catwalk wearing a pair of bespoke, intricately carved, wooden prosthetic legs. “I was in my teens when I saw that,” says Smith, “and when you are not used to seeing disabled people at all it was quite extraordinary. I thought – oh! disabled people can look really cool – it doesn’t have to be done in an ‘aren’t we being inclusive?’ way. It genuinely felt like McQueen took the artistic and creative possibilities around designing for bodies that look different rather than trying to fit people into little boxes.” Nearly 20 years later, though, she says , “nothing has really developed beyond that in terms of main- stream or high fashion.

    Lifestyle FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 2015 Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, center, celebrates at the end of the show from the Colcci Summer collection at Sao Paulo Fashion Week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel who has lit up catwalks around the world for 20 years, is retiring from the runway. — AP photos SUPERMODEL GISELE BUNDCHEN MAKES TEARY LAST CATWALK TURN here were tears, hugs, and a standing ovation as supermodel Gisele Bundchen strode the Tcatwalk one last time on her home turf in Brazil on Wednesday. Bundchen, the world’s top- earning model, made her final sashay down the runway at Sao Paulo Fashion Week (SPFW), the same event where she made her debut 20 years ago. She opened and closed the show for Brazilian label Colcci, bringing full circle a runway career that launched her to stardom. In the first row were fami- ly and friends she invited including her parents and American football star husband Tom Brady. Bundchen, 34, appeared calm and smiled. The whole show took about 20 minutes. But when a crowd of men and women models strode out in jeans and white T-shirts with her image on them, she stayed composed for a bit before bursting into tears. Bundchen hugged friends and waved to well- wishers. The Brazilian bombshell announced last month she was retiring from runway modeling, saying she wanted to spend more time with husband New England Patriots quarterback Brady, and their two children, Benjamin and Vivian. She also told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo: “My body she’s at the height of her powers.

  • Madeline Stuart the First Ever Professional Super Model with Down Syndrome
    Madeline Stuart the firSt ever ProfeSSional SuPer Model With doWn SyndroMe Modeling is something we all do; we all have our own styles in clothing that we model. People judge everyone for how they dress but it’s your life to live so live it confidently! 1/31/2021 by Gazelle W. Chen Madeline Stuart (born 13th November 1996) is a 24-year-old super model, actress, dancer, advocate, and role model from Brisbane, Australia. Madeline decided to become a model in 2014 when her mother, Rosanne Stuart, brought her to an Ekka (Queensland’s largest event showcasing the animal industry, local dance schools, and singers.) Madeline saw her first ever fashion show there and instantly fell in love with it. She turned to her mother and told her she was going to be a model. And that is exactly what happened. The battle began: she started eating healthier and working out more, and she lost 20 kg altogether over three months. Shortly after that, Madeline’s mother brought her to a photoshoot, and when the pictures came back, they were great! Madeline and her mother posted the pictures online and they were viewed over 6.8 millon times within a day! Within three days people from all over the world were calling them asking Madeline to come model for them. Within the the first month she was asked to walk at New York fashion week. And in September 2015 Madeline walked her first runway in New York. The runway was the first spot that her mother felt Madeline was happy and loved by the world and said, “She is under the spotlight and everyone appreciates her.” Madeline has now modeled all over the world including Paris, Russia, London, China, New York and Dubai.

Through investigation of the elements of performance art, as well as its functions and characteristics, this study intends to determine how modern haute couture fashion shows relate to performance art and can operate under the definition of performance art. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee––James Slowiak, Sandra Stansbery Buckland and Lisa Lazar for their time during the completion of this thesis.

  • Kate Moss Or the Girl Next Door? — the Effectiveness of Cosmetics Advertising
    Journal of Advertising Research Vol. 52, No. 1, 2012 www.journalofadvertisingresearch.com Take Your Pick: Kate Moss or the Girl Next Door? — The Effectiveness of Cosmetics Advertising Michael Antioco EMLYON Business School Dirk Smeesters Rotterdam School of Management Aline Le Boedec Finaref INTRODUCTION Marketing literature is replete with evidence of the positive effects of using attractive communicators and models on opinion change, product evaluation, and brand perception and recall (Baker and Churchill, 1977; Joseph, 1982). It has been demonstrated that physically attractive communicators are more liked than plain or unattractive communicators. By extension, if a person has a positive attitude toward a communicator, she or he will evaluate that communicator’s message in positive terms (Joseph, 1982). The use of attractive communicators to increase advertising effectiveness seems to be appropriate. It appears, however, that many marketers have decided to apply this idea at its extreme. Often, models in advertising represent highly idealized images of physical attractiveness. This is especially true when considering the models’ body-mass index given increasing obesity in Western societies (Chandon and Wansink, 2007). In a March 2010 issue, the Guardian asked, “Why Are Models Still So Thin?” Some runway models presenting Riccardo Tisci, Dolce & Gabbana—and others representing Prada’s Miu Miu autumn/winter ready-to-wear collection—looked skeletal. Yet, models are a mirror for many young women and, most agree, should project an image of beauty and health rather than offer the perception of encouraging eating disorders. Moreover, it recently seems that not all marketers have agreed that such idealized images of physical attractiveness are the best way to increase advertising effectiveness.

  • 'Dior Couture,' with Stunning
    bitebookreviews ior Couture,’ with stunning pho- tography by Patrick Demarcheli- ‘Der, is a gorgeous must-have book chronicling the glory days of the Parisian fashion house established by Christian Dior shortly after the end of the Second World War. Dior, one of the legendary couturiers of all time, is famous for revo- lutionizing the world of haute-couture with the launch in 1947 of his first col- lection of hour-glass silhouettes, chris- tened the ‘New Look.’ Although he would die ten years later at the age of 52, Dior was a pow- erful muse to his successors, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Fer- ré, and John Galliano. “The delicate stitches of Christian Dior’s couture are reminiscent of a spider’s web, mir- roring nature, and these photographs capture the silhouettes like flower buds about to bloom,” American art- ist, Jeff Koons writes in the book’s foreword. Demarchelier — a veteran fash- ion photographer who has shot editorials for the likes of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, along with campaigns for Dior, Yves Saint Lau- rent, and Chanel — captures more than 100 gowns, suits and coats from the entire span of Chris- tian Dior haute couture through to recent creations by Galliano. Beautiful locations — like a Bei- jing movie studio, New York’s Times Square, and Paris’ Opéra Garnier — serve as the back- drop for these exquisite pieces, worn by models including Gem- ma Ward, Karlie Kloss, Agyness Deyn and Natalia Vodianova. Ingrid Sischy, International Editor for Vanity Fair’s Eu- ropean editions and former Interview Magazine Editor, wrote the introduction to the 240-page book.

    Madeline Stuart “Through modelling I am changing society’s view of people with Disabilities. Exposure is creating awareness, acceptance, and inclusion” Madeline’s Story Madeline is a unique 20-year-old model from Brisbane, Australia. Madeline notably, has been dubbed by the press as not only a Super Model, but “the world’s most famous model with Down syndrome”. This incredibly courageous, beautiful, and talented young woman has had astonishing success in the short time she has been modelling, and has captured media attention both in Australia and internationally. As with many people with Down syndrome, Madeline struggled with her weight for a long time, and in early 2015 she decided to get healthy and chase after her dreams which included dance. She lost over 20kg, and is now chang- ing society’s perception of people with disabilities, one photo shoot at a time. Madeline’s career started when Maddy attended a Fashion Parade late 2015 with her mum and said to her mum “mum me model”. Rosanne knew it would take a lot of work and dedication, and told Madeline if she wanted to commit to the journey, she would fully support her. After Madeline lost a few more kilos of weight, Rosanne (Madeline's Mum) created social media accounts and posted a ‘before and after’ photo online to show the results and to encourage others. Rosanne was very confident that the story Madeline had to share with the world would travel around the globe, long before it actually hit the internet. Just as predicted, the photo went viral.

    9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel RUNWAY STORY NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis ‘New York Fashion Rediscovered’ spotlights treasure trove of photographs of designers and supermodels discovered on a New York City sidewalk By JESSICA STEINBERG Today, 3:55 pm Fashion models and their muses at 'New York Fashion Rediscovered,' a new exhibit created by two Israelis in New York City's Time Square, just in time for 2019 Fashion Week (Courtesy ZAZ10TS) It took two Israelis in New York City — one gallery owner and one curator — to put together an exhibit of historic fashion photographs that had been discovered on a city sidewalk. The exhibit, “New York Fashion Rediscovered 1982-1997,” opened September 5, at 10 Times Square, coinciding with New York Fashion Week. The exhibit brings to life a vivid period in the New York City fashion industry, when designers began creating high- end day and evening wear, as well as power dressing for women in the workforce. Fashion designers and supermodels achieved celebrity status, and the celebrated moments of the runway shows were their finales, when designers would walk down the runway, arm-in-arm with the leading supermodels of the day. Those joyous moments are what was preserved in the fashion-loving photographs of the collection. The fashion stars featured in the photographs included designers Anna Sui, Donna Karan, Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, Perry Ellis, Isaac Mizrahi, Alber Elbaz, Anne Klein, Geoffrey Beene, Rebecca Moses, BCBG Max Azria, Linda Allard for Ellen Tracy, Adrienne Vittadini, and Gemma Kahng, and models Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, https://www.timesofisrael.com/nyc-fashion-giants-featured-in-historic-exhibit-curated-by-two-israelis/ 1/3 9/18/2019 NYC fashion giants featured in exhibit curated by two Israelis | The Times of Israel Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Helena Christensen, and Kristen McMenamy.

They have become obsessed with her and her. Reporters are writing pages and pages of stories about Moss’s drug use and sex life. The latest story is that police will investigate claims that she took cocaine. Moss, 31, has already been fired by fashion giants H&M, Chanel and Burberry. H&M’s decision reversed an earlier statement from the company that forgave Moss and gave her a second chance. However, she was axed following hundreds of phone calls from angry customers and a lot of negative publicity. The company could not allow a drug user to model its clothes. Shoppers were furious that as a mother, Moss decided to use hard drugs.
