the "21st-century gym": a history of women athlete ads


"The creative team embarked on a different course. Janet Champ and Charlotte Moore met behind closed doors to immerse themselves in women's magazines and to talk frankly about the negative messages that limited women's choices. 'We found magazines so disgusting ... [that] we made a list of what made us sick ...'(Champ). After their first ads ran, '... women were hanging the 'lists' on their refrigerators and showing them to their daughters" (Moore).1990

"For most women, high performance isn't about sports; it's about fitness. We never appreciated the whole world of the active lifestyle. We had such a jock heritage -- for men and women -- that we never saw anything beyond that. Women don't treat athletes like heroes.

This is no longer about 'If You Let Me Play.' Women don't need anybody's permission. We are at our best when we are showing women a place where they didn't think they could be.

Today "it's about a woman's nomadic lifestyle, going from doing yoga in the morning, to work, to picking up the kids, to going for a run. Why shouldn't we have everyday clothes that perform as well as our workout gear?"

idea of polish without straight hair

As Sally Singer wrote in her article "Hot Fuzz" in June 2009 Vogue,

"With perfectly straight hair, one feels perfectly in control. It's why professional girls everywhere wield tongs and small wind machines in the morning. Looking militantly authoritative seems so Dubya. I don't want curls, but neither do I want to look like a throwback to Friends, the waning years.

For the Prada fall 2009 runway, Guido Palau sent the girls out with fuzzy hedges for updos. Palau likes Redken Thickening Lotion in combination with a really good haircut. Women are obsessed with the idea of frizz as bad and frizz can be good. We've been into this Hollywood hair, Gossip Girl hair loose waves forever and ever. Now designers want to distance themselves from the red carpet. When the clothes are quite special, you can afford to be a little bit off with your hair. You need to offset your clothes; it looks cooler. It's about making women question things again. They are so used to blowing out their hair, they don't actually know what's there. Maybe it's fine to let your hair dry naturally. The next day you can smooth it out."


Hairstylist Duffy says, "we shouldn't be talking about frizz but about a broken silhouette.

Take a classic and then knock it; give it a more modern finish, a little younger, not so rigid. I like the uptown blow-dry that's spent a night downtown. Marilyn Monroe looked her best when she had a broken set. Deborah Harry back in the day, Kate Moss being beachy these are Duffy's icons of the end of the era of people killing themselves with straightening irons."

conviction







"...thoughtful, soulful, and thoroughly American approach she brings to her work. Goodman also brings a consciousness to what she does; she sees fashion through the prism of her eco and ethical concerns. After all, when so much of your job is divining where fashion should be going next, it helps to know you're looking in the right direction."
