Fashion, bad or not so bad ?

 At first I was reculant to talk about fashion as I find it superficial, it often objectifies women. 

But I did find a nice story in my favourite magazine, Enchanted Living.

The theme is Art nouveau, the mood is fairy tale. The message the photographer want's to convey is a connection to nature and animals, she does so with rescued animals who are used to human contact. The soft colour pallet and the graceful aesthetic of the models make the images magical. I feel that "fashion" doesn't need to be about high couture nor something to sell to the masses to make a bunch of money and pollute the planet further, but rather a chance to dream and create worlds we can escape to. Who needs big brands and a huge budget when a couple flowers and leaves, a forest, an animal or two and a hand painted panel can do the trick?
I wanted to find an example of why I don't like the "fashion" industry and sure enough I found it in the British Vogue... 

Megan Thee Stallion seems to be going for over sexualised cow girl theme. Girl being the fact that the photo shoot is done in what looks like a child's bedroom (Ew!).
Megan's words say "body positive" but her style and photo shoot scream porn industry. She claim's that all women should feel sexy no matter what they look like and I fully agree with her, however is that all we are as women? Why does this keep coming up in "fashion" magazines ? We should all feel sexy, but also smart, creative, kind and in touch with the world we live in.
