Description

Student production looking at how the media, and magazines in particular, depict the "ideal" female body shape by using images of thin fashion models, and the impact this has on consumers. Young women explain how these unrealistic portrayals can make them feel self-conscious about their body, and a group of lads discuss the physical dimensions of their ideal woman. Includes several images of female celebrities and fashion models plus interior shots of women's clothes shops.
