Naomi Wolf - “Iron Maiden” an unachievable aspiration for women - “Women are under assault by the "beauty myth" in five areas: work, religion, sex, violence, and hunger.” - Claims that there as women achieve more socially and politically there is a bigger pressure to look better “During the past decade, women breached the power structure; meanwhile, eating disorders rose exponentially and cosmetic surgery became the fastest-growing specialty”

DOVE – CAMPAIGN FOR REAL BEAUTY NATIONAL NEWS AND STATS “In the UK half of teenage girls aged 14-15 want to lose weight” JULY 24, 2012
“Despite the fact that many 14-15 year old girls are the picture of health more than half want to lose weight. That’s the astonishing finding of a new study done by the Schools Health Education Unit who found that 58 per cent of female pupils that age would like to shed some weight”
The Idea ILLUSTRATION: Most fashion drawings feature an exaggerated, stretched and narrow body. Could curvaceous voluptuous bodies or the beauty of older women be showcased in a successful illustration? How would the male body be portrayed? Diversity rules.
For my competition entry I plan to produce 3 illustrations showing different body shapes and sizes. I will also address diversity in skin colour by not recognising typical skin tones but experimenting with bold bright colours such as bright blues and purples.
