These are a series of collages I decided to make in the wake of the ridiculous and offensive Free People ads that have just come out. Free People ads vs what real ballet dancers look like!
if FP is trying to relate to us, they should at least do it with real dancers- because clearly, this is not working.
there’s a friend of mine who has just started modeling and she’s also a ballet student.
Guys she must make it as a model and replace these models who can’t dance. It’s not the models’ fault of course, but they should’ve employed dancers to do those photos. There are many ballerinas who can be good models, too. (e.g. Svetlana Zakharova, Evgenia Obraztsova, Alina Somova etc.)
^totally agree! And if they wanted someone who was ‘younger’ or a ‘teeanger’ then just find a student from SAB or something, not some random model.
and whyyy do they think that just because she has a pretty face and a pretty body that nobody would notice how WROOOONG on SOOO MANY LEVELS these ads are…if they’re trying to gear this line at people like us, why would you not use someone we can actually relate to
