Blog Post #7

My topic has changed a lot. Originally with my prospectus I did not have a clear thesis and a really broad prospectus. Before I wanted my thesis to go in the direction of people viewing their imperfections as something they need to fix, why others embrace that they are different in the fashion aspect. Now my thesis is that the body shape of the women portrayed on fashion magazine covers effects the way women want to be.
My research questions before were leaning more in regular fashion stereotype groups, now I am focusing on runway fashion models, because I was able to find more sources of fashion models then the current stereotypes in society.
I changed a lot since the begining because of the sources. It was easier to find sources about fashion models because the stereotype is always changing since the 50's until now, on how society wants the woman to look within fashion.
