Ja dat heb ik ook gezien op tv! Brigitte heet het tijdschrift volgens mij!
Moeten ze hier in NL ook doen!
Hoewel het niet ouwewijvig moet worden, met truttige huisvrouwen enzo.
Kunnen ze geen coole mensen vragen: mensen die iets speciaals hebben, of mensen die iets bereikt hebben?!

Een magazine in Duitsland heeft besloten alleen nog maar echte vrouwen als modellen te gebruiken, geen uitgemergelde professionele modellen meer.

But i think bioproducts are also a trick the industry is doing now… Bioproducts are the new way of making us buy stuff…

I wish i could live in a community where we would make all of our own goods and foods… I think that would be the best way to escape from all this crap.

I really like this initiative, we need to make everyone aware of the fact that we’re being influenced by so many companies, all just because of money. I think our live standard is influenced by the industry, even our choice for food is being influenced. That is insane, isn’t it! Normal veggies and fruits are ‘boring’ and we should eat all kinds of weird produced foods.

Time to change and take responsibility by the Appearance Industry. There is a BIG start: Brigitte published by Gruner+Jahr, one of Germany’s most popular glossy women’s magazines, announced that from 2010 it will no longer use models in photo spreads in response to changing ideas about beauty. Instead Brigitte choose from readers and staff members based on their meaningful qualities other than their dress size. “Attractiveness has many faces,” editor Huber said in a statement. Co-editor Andreas Lebert said “Behind the career of a model lies the idea of not showing women themselves, but instead a place holder – a model of a certain size. Now many women find this outdated, especially the beauty ideals, also moulded by the fashion industry, that are highly controversial.”
Dr. Lisa Pecho, a psychotherapist and spokesperson for the BFE (German eating disorder experts), comments that the Brigitte’s new aesthetic is an important step towards changing unrealistic body images, “This magazine has a huge influence in Germany,” Pecho said. “There are many factors that create eating disorders, but the media is certainly a big one.”

I was searching for new ideas about fashion and branding when I found this site.
Your point of view is very interesting to me (I’m in fashion marketing) and I would
like to hear more of your ideas. Feel free to contact me. My opinion: I guess you are
right when it comes to all the agressiveness that is displayed in todays fashion marketing.
We are moving more towards a reality way of showing things. Guess that is gonna make
things better for everyone.
