Stance- well done for making it through the filming process, it really opens your eyes to the way they can tell many stories through different edits. Sadly tv today loves conflict, emotional break down, over the top celebration - very rarely do we see calm reasonable debate.
I am disappointed with Mary, I applaud the idea that she did n't want just another celeb range and that she used older model types. I hated some of the production elements like flicking through old Vogue copies at 20 years olds rather then just looking at current flesh. Too much was crammed into the show so we saw a focus group but we only learnt they thought Mary was older and should n't be on the ads, they did n't affect or inform the decision making further down the line. It's obvious that part of the deal from the start was Mary's face, they just had to manipulate the story line to make someone else the bad guy.
The panel with Stance in the edited version were really just ignored once 30 seconds of conflict was spliced together. It appears that the panel were for tv rather then any actual influence.
Mary is quite obviously trying to provoke the third floor department managers in the scene showing off the exposed ceiling, it nearly crossed the line into baiting, cruel. The store manager's comment about the dust was practical but dismissed out of hand.
I adore clothes, they make me happy, I have been an hourglass shape since I was seventeen, sometimes a ten, sometimes pregnant, sometimes a fourteen. The current fashion industry cannot cope with three dimensional curves, they are harder to understand then a bean pole so they don't bother. Flat two dimensional shapes are cheap and easy to manufacture with a large profit margin. Gok's answer is to stick a belt on every sack to give it a waist, Mary has created a range for look a likes, not the revolution I was hoping for.
Love clothes - hate fashion.
