Really enjoying these interviews

I think Kristen Mcmenamy is beautiful and witty. I just hate the fashion industry. It seems to be riddled with misogyny, like most of its photographers.

Hi Gra Piken, sorry you feel that way. In my experience it is no more riddled with misogyny than the rest of society. Probably less to be honest.

[@grapiken7766]

SHOWstudio I completely disagree. The recent 'Cinematic' themed Italian Vogue was horrendous.

[@satomi_woogie]

+SHOWstudio I couldn't agree more in the sense that artistic manifestations are projections, part of the society's substrate.

Fashion is the only working place in the world where women earn 5 times more than men (we are talking about the models). And you are talking about misogyny... Of course.

​@@MrBW1942 (Before I respond to this, I want to say that I think the fashion industry is more "objectifying" than "unuuuusually misogynistic" as an industry and that it's not something that is secret in any way... image/aesthetics = their bread and butter, so, duh... women's appearance takes on its own life and value... anyway, on to what I'm responding to:) That's a bizarrely simplistic conclusion to reach, BW. Would you take that argument in the other direction to conclude that every single situation in which men receive more money is a situation that IS necessarily misogynistic (I assume you would say "no" - especially if it's an industry like "mens underwear modeling" or a guinea pig for mens medications..). There is a muuuuuch smaller market for luxury menswear and the related promotional media spectacles that would involve male models. Female models became superstars for their sex appeal and their ability to entice men (Victoria's Secret) -- and, more importantly, entice women to buy their clothes and associate with a house/brand. Their appearance is commodified and apparently you think that the fact that this commodity is worth more money than the work of male models means... what.... that the men are being objectified moooore than the women? That's odd. This is more complicated than you seem to be understanding, unless you're just intentionally cherry-picking to lash out at a perceived "silly feminist" and try to make them look ridiculous...
