Bien sûr une image vaut mille mots.Autant, je suis contre l'utilisation dégradante du corps de la femme afin de vendre des produits de consommation, autant j'ai été surprise de voir les images de ce catalogue en ligne.
Est-ce là une utilisation dégradante du corps? Ou est la nécessité de cette nudité ? Ou se trouve la limite entre l'art, la provocation et le corps objet au service du marketing ? Quelle question délicate à repondre.
Génèse de la question ...
À chaque mois, je reçois le magazine Canadian House & Home. Un très beau magazine de décoration d'où j'ai tiré beaucoup de mes idées déco. À la toute dernière page, il y a toujours une page intitulée "Trend Watch". Il y avait là une paire de chaussures de Rodolphe Menudier. De la revue à Internet, j'ai surfé sur son site pour tomber sur ce catalogue tout de bleu vêtu.
Avec mon conjoint photographe et enseignant la photographie, nous avons conversé longuement sur le corps humain comme objet publicitaire.
Et vous, qu'en pensez-vous. Jolies chaussures, certes, mais encore ...
Of course a picture is worth a thousand words.
As much I am against the degrading use of the female body to sell consumer goods, as much I was surprised to see the pictures from this online catalog.
Is this a degrading use of the male body ? Is there an absolute need for this nudity? Where is the line between art, provocation and "objectivising" human bodies for marketing? What a delicate question to answer.
Genesis of the question ...
Every month, I receive the Canadian House & Home magazine. A beautifully decoration magazine, source of many decoration ideas for my house. At the very last page, there is always a page entitled "Trend Watch". There was a pair of outrageously attractive green shoes from Rodolphe Menudier. From magazine to Internet, I surfed the site to fall on this catalog all dressed or undressed in blue.
With my spouse and favorite photographer (who's been teaching photography for 25 years), we conversed at length on the human body as object of advertisment. Still no precise idea on where to draw the line came out of our discussion and still so many unanswered questions.
And you, what do YOU think of all this. Gorgeous shoes, but still ...

P.S. I have nothing against nudes... Nature IS art in a world of chaos... just not so fan of it for selling products. Not so fan of making young girl and boys feel they are not fit for life if they dont't look like "Jo 6 pack" or Barbie.

I did widen the shoulder width and deepen of the same amount the shoulder dart. But very lightly ou subtilement. This jacket will be worn 99.5% of the time fully open. This way, I can hide those shoulder blades. With open back evening dresses, no chance to hide them 
. So far, this is what I had to change.
