In The Fashion Industry, Hannah Berry describes the latest trend of fashion icon that motivates women to express themselves by showing their individuality. Berry criticizes the advertisement of beauty products that tells a woman what they should do to look impeccable and expands her judgment by stating that “… being unique is the true origin of beauty.” The writer supports her opinion by using two examples of ads: Clark and Sorel. The main point Berry comes across by using these ads is that she showcases the fact that a woman doesn’t have to focus on her outer beauty because it’s their inner beauty that will make them gain confidence. In the first ad, Clark “sparks the idea that her inner beauty comes from an internal base of secure self-confidence

The vision statement of fostering “diversity through thought and sustain an environment that turns individual differences into insights and capabilities that fuel VF’s growth” allows for the corporation to attract, engage and connect with their employees and deepen the culture within company (VF Corporation, 2017). Innovation is a strong value that is a motivator behind the “art and science of apparel” that is not only attractive to the customer, but also promotes loyalty behind the brands that VF Corporation owns.

Wexner and his company were ready to expand the Victoria’s Secret brand from a local and mail order company to a wide spread company to reach the masses. According to Schlossberg (2015), Wexner recognized that many women were being missed to have the opportunity to have sexy undergarments, so he created products and pricing that appealed to more woman than ever before and a revolution of sexiness to an already evolving society. Victoria’s Secret will reach the masses in a timeline that shows the evolution of society and the way businesses interact with their consumers. In 1995, the first Victoria Secret’s fashion show is launched followed in 1998 by creating victoriasecret.com and offering their

Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mark Jeffries, has made it clear that his brand delivers a certain “look” and wants to maintain it. His comments about “fat people”, being one of the “cool kids”, and “thin, beautiful customers” can be seen as extremely controversial and discriminatory. But Jeffries proves that there is a method to his madness. From a pure marketing perspective it is clear that he is applying classic marketing techniques to his business. He has constructed a well-defined brand, and a well-defined target market.
By only selling smaller sizes to the “cool kids”, it could make their clothing line look better and possibly attract cooler kids. Other teenagers will see those “cool kids” wearing the clothes and maybe will go and buy Abercrombie and Fitch clothing, and so Abercrombie and Fitch will make more money and look “good”. Alisa Durando, one of the designers of Abercrombie and Fitch said, “ There was a brand filter that said everything needed to be cute and sexy, It didn’t matter that we were becoming more narrow in terms of who was able to wear our clothes” (Bloomberg). Mike Jeffries and the designers didn't care that they were making only smaller clothes, they were designing things that they thought looked good. Maybe they think by only selling smaller clothes to the skinny, popular kids, it will make the bigger people workout and lose weight just so they can fit into the smaller clothes and be a “cool kid”.
However, her desire to put on those clothes just to be noticed is not her own personal trouble, but a societal issue because the issue “transcend[s] [her] local environments” (Mills). Those standards are set through society’s institutions, especially the media. With Photoshop and professional makeup artists preparing the women who pop up in advertisements and magazines, the average woman has a hard time competing and gaining attention with her own natural beauty. These advertisements pop up during sporting events, men see these women and then expect other girls to look just like that. Whether or not men actually expect women to look like that, women feel pressured into competing with the magazine models and women in advertisements.
The Warner’s Company ad, “This is no shape for a girl,” published in 1967 displays an attractive, Caucasian woman wearing the new Fibber bra and girdle to inspire the women of the 1960’s to look as she does. This product is used to make women look proportional, while the pear in the ad represents how they look before the product. This advertisement was successful due to a use of pathos that effected the women by using a beautiful woman to show them how they should look and by its company’s historical background, which appeals to the audiences sense of credibility (ethos). The advertisement failed when appealing to logos because it assumes that all women feel the same about their figure.
