About the Book
This issue analyzes idealized lifestyles and expectations of women marketed through magazines. This process began by gathering lifestyle magazines and cutting them up in order to take a deeper look at how women are photographed in the fashion industry. After cutting up these magazines, I was left with photoshopped images of women's bodies and high end luxury material items. With only having glamorized and sexualized images of women and materials to work with, I decided to collage these images in my own design, and then photograph the collage, illuminating the skewed messages behind these magazines. Since typical fashion editorial magazines tell women how to look and what to have in order to be beautiful and fashionable, I modified these messages to show that normal women do not have to own these materials or look like these images in order to be beautiful and fashionable. My images are intended to show that once the original magazine editorials are out of context and out of the editor's hands, the idealized image of women projected into these magazines are silly and unreachable.
