Abstract:

<p> Media outlets perpetuate an ultra-thin feminine ideal which has been linked to body dissatisfaction among women (Lew, Mann, Myers, Taylor, & Bower, 2007). The present study focused on the inclusion of warning labels, similar to those in cigarette ads, on advertisements. Previous research indicates that these labels might have a protective factor for women's body satisfaction, but results are inconsistent (Slater, Tiggemann, Firth, & Hawkins, 2012; Tiggemann, Slater, Bury, Hawkins, & Firth, 2013). The purpose of this study was to resolve inconsistencies from past research and ex

Abstract:

This study explores the relationship between gender and fashion, by investigating the life experiences of a small group of teenage girls from an area south of Brisbane. Working from feminist perspectives, this study explores the way the girls, in the study, make sense of media representations of fashion and use this in their construction of their gendered self The representation of the fashion model construct and its role in this process is examined. Traditionally, approaches to the discussion of fashion have ranged from historical to socialist feminist, but few have focussed on the impa

Visual dominance. Our human perception, that with great authority, powerfully influences and controls all of our senses. In turn, our minds try to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in what we are experiencing, may that be in a chaotic world, a cacophony in colour or vibrations in patterns. This project explores disturbances in pattern and colour and how these elements can deceive the eye. Playing with elements such as opacity, layers and transparency the nine outfits presented in this project attempt to explore the principles of Gestalt psychology to create disorder and confusion. Si

Esta dissertação, por meio das análises de material de campo de três capitais brasileiras, Salvador, Rio de Janeiro e Porto Alegre, visa interpretar estes trânsitos e suas ressignificações para os elementos do Candomblé que se transformam em códigos vestimentários e assim ultrapassam as fronteiras do que

Abstract In an increasingly digital world, organizations and individuals are turning to web-based applications as a source of information and method of inter-personal communication; this includes social media. This literature review analyzes the effects of social media marketing in luxury fashion brands. The research reveals luxury brands’ social media marketing positively affects purchase intention through user-to-user and brand-to-user communication, if the consumers trust the brand. On the other hand, disclosure language on Instagram and Facebook negatively affects consumer behavior, but th

Abstract:

Fashion emerged in the West in the Renaissance, where it played the role of social distinction, since the clothes were not accessible to all classes and, consequently, by the way it was dressed, it was possible to identify which social layer that subject belonged to. According to Lipovetsky (2009), what defines the fashion system is the conjunction of the logics of the ephemeral and aesthetic fantasy, which only found space in modern societies. Anthony Giddens (1991) asserts that the modern era differs from others, especially because of its high dynamism, such a rapid pace of social change has

Abstract:

Objective: The goal of this research was to explore how the design of clothing, specifically the design of the suit, can create height illusions. Background: Taller people enjoy many advantages, such as increased income and perceived attractiveness. These advantages motivate people to try to appear taller than they actually are, and clothing experts provide advice on how to accomplish this. However, there is little empirical evidence to validate the illusory effects clothing might have on overall height perception. The few studies that have explored illusions of body size created by clothing d

Another aim of this study was to compare these two work contexts. The data was collected through interviews combined with an auto-ethnographic approach. The study suggested that people form an identity towards their places of work and also that changes within the workplace can be perceived as a threat. The study also showed that there are simila

Abstract:

Feminist and psychological literature has long established a link between women’s often conflicted relationship with food and social discourses that reinforce harmful notions of the ideal female body and the need for bodily self-surveillance. However, new cultures around food and eating have emerged which purport to offer different ways to connect with food. One feature of these gendered discourses is their use of feminist terminology and ideas of empowerment and emancipation. This thesis sets out to explore popular cultural discourses on food and eating by examining recent, best-selling diet
