Marc Jacobs Persuasive Essay

Improved Essays
Marc Jacobs defended Nicole Kidman to her bashers on social media for her cover photo on Vogue magazine August issue. Readers are disappointed to the result of the 48-year-old star’s snap which is a little strange.
The 52-year-old couturier proudly shared the Australian actress’ image on his Instagram account on Monday. Nicole was wearing his creation, a stunning black dress embellished with sequins in a multicolor floral pattern.
The fashion designer captioned the photo with: “#NicoleKidman (finally) wears #MarcJacobs #FW15 on the August cover of #Vogue @voguemagazine @marcjacobs thank you VOGUE for this beautiful cover [sic].” Later, it was flooded with a lot of negative comments.
Fans complimented the ensemble but not the wife of Keith Urban. His followers noticed that she doesn’t quite look like herself.

Marc and Nicole’s supporters called out the editors of the iconic publication for excessively editing her picture. They said that she doesn’t look like the beautiful woman they’ve grown to love.
Moreover, the American tailor was quite irritated to the reactions of the people. He didn’t quite get the positive respond he used to have.
Instead of focusing on the gorgeous “Moulin Rouge” leading lady in an equally stunning gown, they focus and quickly commented on the overuse of photo-editing tools.
Additionally, the same photograph was shared on Vogue’s official page on the popular photo sharing application on the same day. It got the same judgment with complaints that the fashion and lifestyle mag relied too heavily on Photoshop. They said that Nicole’s mouth was “very different.”
Meanwhile, unknowingly aware that he will get into a little controversy, Marc protected the “Before I Go To Sleep” star and the glossy journal. He said on his personal media platform, “All you haters... When were you last given a cover of Vogue? Damn people have a lot of negative energy..!!

    I am writing in response to your request that I analyze Vanessa Friedman’s “Don’t Ban Photos of Skinny Models” and to make a recommendation for or against the publication in The Shorthorn newspaper. I have considered the rhetorical appeals of Friedman’s article and come to a conclusion that the readers of The New York times will find it quite convincing. Even though it could be unpersuasive to some readers, I am in support of publishing her work because readers all over are likely to find the piece to be a good read as it is a topic most people can relate to. Friedman’s main point is that banning photos of skinny models is not the answer to the problem. She provides three reasons to support her claim, which she mentions in the write-up: “banning something simply makes it much more intriguing; It’s also because to judge a body healthy or unhealthy is still to judge it.…

    The October issue of Interview Magazine is being the source of much talk after seeing the light. Not for nothing, it features a fashion editorial which could be defined at least as disturbing. Its name, “Pretty Wasted”, can give you a clue of what you are going to find in its pages. However, the editorial goes too far. In fact, it goes further than you could ever imagine: models are posing as if they were drunk and unconscious, lying on the floor, surrounded by any kind of trash and waste, and dressed by big brands like Marc Jacobs, Prada, Versace, Diane Von Furstenberg, Yves Saint Laurent, Armani Privé or Tommy Hilfiger.…

    Rape Culture is an environment in which rape is prevalent and in which sexual violence against women is normalized and excused in the media and popular culture. Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence. In a more then over sexualized quick shot, company Calvin Klein proves just how well misogyny and lack of respect for woman is alive(Fig.1). Company Calvin Klein was founded in 1968 and by early 1970s managed to secure millions in sales, Having initially focused on women’s coats and coordinates, Klein eventually branched out into additional lady’s apparel that could be mixed and matched, cultivating a minimalist, streamlined look that relied on sublime tailoring and fabric choices. By the 1980s, Klein’s brand was also known for underwear and luxurious perfumes and colognes with corresponding ad campaigns.…

    Distorted Beauty Entering high school is a point in life when most teenagers begin to spend extra time looking in the mirror and noticing the little things about themselves. Everyday beginning my freshman year, I would walk the overcrowded halls of William Chrisman and as I would look around I’d see all these pretty, skinny girls and I became suddenly aware of my size and looks. I have always played sports and I am constantly gaining weight because of muscle mass and I always sport my athletic wear which is not quite flattering. One day my sophomore year, I was standing in line at Target, a couple days after the Victoria’s Secret Angels fashion show, and as I began to shut out the loud chatter of other customers I became intrigued by the models on the cover of a magazine.…

    Per The Oxford Dictionary, a generation is “A group of people of similar age involved in a particular activity”. In 20th century America, it became popular practice to classify generations by certain credentials whether they be economic, political, or social in nature. Most generations receive their title from an event or actions that distinguish them from any previous groups. For example, the generation who were coming of age after World War I became known as The Lost Generation due to the enormous casualties of young men and the destruction of traditional values due to the ravages of a worldwide war. Another example would be The Baby Boomer generation from the 1950s, who received their title for being born in a time of peace and prosperity…
