Untouched lingerie ads lead to increase in sales for American Eagle
By Lily Grant @lilygrant UDK
Un-touretched girls who look much like you and I are now featured on the store's posters. At the bottom of its advertisement reads, "The girl in this photo has not been retouched. The real you is sexy. #aerieReal." Since spring of 2014, when Aerie put an end to retouche
Aerie, and its sister store American Eagle, made the bold move to abandon the use of photoshop on the lingerie models in advertisements. The stores started the #aerieReal campaign at the beginning of this year, which encourages women to embrace their bodies as they are. Aerie and American Eagle are clothing and lingerie stores with a target demographic of women in their teens and early twenties — high school and college girls, us.
ing, its lingerie sales spiked, increasing by 9 percent in the last quarter alone.
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY
Meryl Streep leads this wonderfully dark, wickedly hilarious and stingingly relatable draymed as a bullheaded, prescription-pill-addicted matriarch who coolly rips her family members new ones when they all gather following her husband's death. Heated arguments ensue, dark secrets come to light and no one goes home happy.
The models Aerie chose for the spring 2014 ad campaign are still very thin and incredibly beautiful by most people's standards, and they are still photographed in perfect lighting and from flattering angles. However. Aerie has left all of the models' natural attributes visible
Thanksgiving is a time for family, but for those anxious about seeing their weird, dysfunctional, crazy families, you can commiserate with the messed up families in these films.
RACHEL GETTING MARRIED Anne Hathaway proves it only takes one bad egg of a family member to ruin the joyous occasion of a wedding in this masterful, cinema-verite-style drama. Kym (Hathaway) comes home from drug rehab for her sister's wedding, but as she draws attention away from the bride and onto herself, tragic and unresolved issues stir back up.
Victoria's Secret, a brand that is notorious for featuring unrealistic depictions of what is sexy, glowing models in its advertisements, has also made recent changes to its advertisements as a result of consumer criticism. The company was scrutinized for its "The Perfect Body" campaign, which was released earlier this month and featured 10 flawless supermodels.
THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS Wes Anderson's quirky, witty odyssey of a rich, formerly very successful family struggling in their personal lives and with each other is one of the director's best films, capturing truth in distressed family dynamics under the amusing silliness.
- a revolutionary step for advertising.
Celebrate the holidays with these five dysfunctional movie families
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
A depressed gay uncle, a vulgar grandpa, a teenage son who's taking a vow of silence and his stressed parents band together for a road trip to get their bright 7-year-old daughter to a beauty pageant while finding strength in each other in this winning, poignant dark comedy.
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
KILLER JOE
A family of dirty Texas rednecks hires a cop (Matthew McConaughey) who also does contract kills to murder their hated mother for her life insurance money. This dark comedy thriller oozes with deep South depravity and ballsy discomfort, a devilishly entertaining look at trashy family ties mixed with a real dangerous man.
Body image advocates
Alex Lamb
pushed back, creating a petition for Victoria's Secret to change the ad and apologize, which received over 27,000 signatures. Without releasing any sort of statement, Victoria's Secret quietly changed the ad slogan to "A Body for Every Body," still featuring the same 10 perfect models, in hopes of silencing critics. Posters for "The Perfect Body" still remain in stores, however.
Since its beginning, advertising has been used to swindle and sway target audiences into buying their product by triggering something in its customers, or victims, on a subconscious level. Clothing and lingerie companies feature perfect, airbrushed models in their advertisements so that when a woman views it, she feels compelled to buy their product so that she, too, can look like the perfect woman in the ad.
As advertisements become increasingly sexualized, adolescent girls especially vulnerable to the pressures society inflicts regarding body image are most at risk. The objectification of womens' bodies, which is enforced by such advertisements, is a big factor in sexual assault cases, an issue that has been prominent at our University this year. Of course, advertising is not the reason for sexual assault and violence; however, advertising does play a role in contributing to the negative image of women in our culture.
While advertisers are held responsible for the images, techniques and language used in advertisements, we, the consumers, can encourage more realistic ads that revert the social constructs advertising has created.
