I find it strange that magazines photographers and art designers go out of there way to make humans look like manaquins in magazines,is this a fashion roll reversal or does it symbilise the fact that most people are like turned out identical manaquins almost like sheep with no imagination or thoughts of there own. I am all for using people as a work of art in conjunction with clothes fashion after all that is what the industry is all about. But I do not see how making people look like robotic clones sells the clothes that they are wearing. I D August edition U.K2005 A couple of years ago I saw body paint being used on models in conjunction with clothing and the effect was great in Pop magazine, its been done before to great effect also. Maby the idea of having humans looking more like manaquins is to consentrate more on the clothes, but I think it has the opossit effect, it makes the clothing look dead like the manaquins, and lifeless. By the way I think that Another magazine along side Pop Magazine Vogue U home Italian and Arina are still the U.K top Male fahion art Magazines are there any more across the world that push the boundaries of creativity in art, why not let us now
