Works of «En Vogue»
Advertising envisions dream worlds while bearing witness to the times. The fashion poster perfectly embodies these two trends, not only promoting the latest fashion and beauty ideals but also reflecting contemporary morality and social conditions. The posters cater to people’s longing to escape everyday tedium, suggesting that all it takes to assume a completely new identity is a change of clothes. In fashion ads, androgynous models and male and female images that defy the norm point the way toward a new era. Flouting convention and flirting with provocation, bodies are sometimes lavishly veiled and disguised and other times sensually spotlighted.
The fashion posters of yesterday and today propose various lifestyle options, telling us stories as they titillate and shock.
