Summary/Abstract: In my paper, I highlight the problematic nature of the idealised body image promoted by the fashion industry, particularly regarding older women’s bodies as depicted in fashion media. I illustrate my argument through a case study of Sarah Jessica Parker’s body representation in Vogue America. To take a closer look at the “ideal body” constructed by the fashion industry, however, we must revisit its roots: the history of fashion dolls and mannequins.
