Versace Remix

This image was taken by by Mario Testino, and features models Anna Selezneva, Iselin Steiro. The two females in the photo are stereotypical of what we see in advertising today no matter what magazine or internet website we are traveling to. These models are showing off their bare bones physiques and are trying to sell the handbags and dresses that they are wearing. This photo is typical of advertising today that places women in unreal situations, and uses stereotypes of the "perfect" body to sell their product. These women are thin, made up and sexy. Sex sells. After searching several magazines for this project, i finally went to the web for my inspiration. This photo was taken as part of the Fall/Winter 2010 Versace Campaign.

Remix: I remixed this image by making the two models the poster children of hunger in the United States. The viewers sentiment for the actors are flipped upside down. You now feel bad for the girls and their hunger instead of thinking they are sexy. Notice the pose and the look of desperation in the faces of the models in the original picture. This is what made it an easy changeover. I decided to juxtapose the skeletons into the image to show the similarities between the two.
