Sisley-Fall-2010-Ad-Campaign.jpeg

Occasionally write things here on Adrants that could loosely be interpreted as intelligent. Five years ago, we think, was one of those occasions. We were making comment on a Sisley advertising campaign which, as many fashion campaigns do, objectified women.

Flash forward to 2010 and the new Fall/Winter Sisley campaign. We’re not sure this one objectifies women but it sure makes them look stupid. Yea, there’s the ubiquitous cleavage shot but there’s also a woman falling out of a dryer and a woman on the floor having fun with a bunch of cucumbers.

It’s kind of sexist and stupid all at the same time. But fashion advertising gets a pass on this. why? Because do we really want to look at fashion as if it were a Sears catalog? No. We want some action and excitement. Even if it it idiotic and pretentiously stupid.

I watched my immigrant father spend thirty years becoming fluent in a country that never fully accepted him, successful in a career that never fully valued him, and proud of a child who spent too long being embarrassed by him —and forgiving myself for that is the one thing all my success has never once been able to buy

Psychology says the reason losing a fake friend feels like grief even when you’re relieved is that your brain doesn’t mourn the person. It mourns the version of yourself that believed the friendship was real, and that identity loss is neurologically identical to heartbreak.
