Every woman should see herself looking uniquely breathtaking, in something tailored to celebrate her body, so that she is better able to appreciate her own beauty and better equipped to withstand the ideals of our narrow-waisted, narrow- minded culture.

About This Quote

It is the fashion industry, not the average woman’s body, that is to blame for the image of women we’re bombarded with in the media. The fashion industry, like every industry, is run by men who view women as objects and not individuals. The fashion industry uses its power of marketing to keep women trapped in their narrow-waisted, narrow-minded culture. By glamourizing a woman’s body to such an extent that she becomes ashamed of her own features and deemed ugly by others, the fashion industry has influenced the way women view themselves.
