Aging Beauty (continued)
Although she feels uncomfortable with her body because it does not conform to conventional notions of perfection, Rosy Martin stripped off and flaunted her cellulite in photos and videos as part of the exhibition.
Aware that fashion expects us to look young, often using models who have barely reached puberty, Martin and Goodridge entered the teen-arena that is TopShop, Oxford Circus. In the changing rooms they photographed each other squeezing into outfits designed for a younger generation. The photographs look both uncomfortable and comic.
