This article looks at a Ralph Lauren advert where a models waist line is very small, so small that it is smaller than her head. These kind of images promote a beauty which is completely false. The article gives arguments to why photos should state whether they have had such retouching, protecting its viewers from insecurity and false representation. The arguments included that the adverts result in women feeling insecure and men having expectations of what women should look like. Similar adverts all try to capture the perfect falsely.
