French Journalist Parodies High Fashion By Showing How Average Women Would Look As Models
How does it feel like to be in a high fashion photo shoot? French fashion stylist Nathalie Croquet decided to find out by putting herself in front of the camera. Along with Photographer Daniel Schweizer, she recreated photos that had previously featured the likes of Kate Moss, Edie Campbell, and others.
As for the meaning behind Croquet’s work? “Women, consumption, retouching, cosmetics, aging, beauty, those all come to mind, but truly those issues are up for debate,” she told Buzzfeed. “I feel people need a more spiritual approach to life, and good fun,” she said. “I’m happy to give them that, even if I’m just making fun of myself.”

On the other hand I think she did a really good job. In some ways I think she exuded more sensuality than the models - whatever one might think about her age/looks. Brava!

Her shots are still pretty good I think! The main difference between the shots are simply: - she is a bit bigger - make up is less good - way less airbrushing / photoshop I'm not sure it proves any point, but fun to see!

i think it would have been neat for there to be a third photo, where she is photoshopped a bit more like the models, to sort of shine light on the fact that even the models are not as flawless as their images.

In all honesty, the pictures on the left are far more eye-catching than those on the right...

Because you're not used to. Models are not supposed to be real. Keep that in mind !
