Stylist Sybilla Smith

Comments on The Role of Ethics in Fashion


“The place where ethics comes up around wardrobe and styling is how women are portrayed in advertising. It is an issue that includes messages to girls about beauty and body image as well as the sexual politics of the working women/mother."


"Fashion does not disregard women and body image as much as sell and celebrate a rare ideal. And all that is done to achieve [that ideal look] from the panel of experts to photoshop?! - what you see is not real. Women of different sizes and ethnicities are not given appropriate representation and what we see on film and in magazines is far from the walking individual.“
