Fashion magazines, my daily read over the 05 years 2014 2019 Gotham characters signatures thank you for the memories shirt What’s more,I will buy this last decades, have started speaking a language that I don’t understand—a language made of “what to wear for a Zoom call,” “how to look good on-screen,” and “work-from-home style tips.” My first reaction to these articles is of pure sadness: Is this it now? The new normal? But sadness is shortly replaced by anger: wait a minute though, this is not normal, it’s a pandemic; the world has turned upside down overnight, aren’t the “looking good” style tips slightly inappropriate, given the circumstances? I just can’t connect. Why re-propose a format that belongs to another, much different kind of life?

Mothers are even more targeted. Magazines seem to be under the 05 years 2014 2019 Gotham characters signatures thank you for the memories shirt What’s more,I will buy this impression that the quarantine is a gift, finally (finally!) giving mothers (not fathers!) a chance to spend more time, or even all their time, with their kids. And why not do this in an impeccable, laid-back, cheerful outfit? Enter double spreads of perfectly groomed mothers happily engaging their perfectly groomed kids in Montessori-approved activities. Is this reality? Certainly not. What most mothers are doing in this period is simply trying to make it through each day and, more often than not, this involves plain outfits, untamed hair, dirty children, and very grim faces. Fashion magazines, and glossy magazines in general, propose inspirational images, not realistic ones. This has always been the case, but is it wise to present an idealized version—staying at home, full-time childcare, Zoom calls, etc.—of the consequences of a pandemic? Why glamorize a simply awful situation? Why re-propose it in an aesthetically pleasing manner? In times in which we are all more vulnerable, what kind of impact does this content have on our self-esteem and, ultimately, on our mental health?
