An article just an article?


In September's i-D magazine, American Apparel has an article that praises their efforts in the textile industry ( all done accomplished under 10 years) and how their models all happen to be employees.
Though, I find the article and the picture displyed a stark contrast. While vibrantly adorned with scarfs and layered scoop-back tees.. why doesn't this model look as lively and happy as the other models featured in their other ad's and articles? They don't even tell you her name like the others?
While her lipstick is beautiful- why does this picture display such plight?

It's not an ad. It's an article by i-D. American Apparel has nothing to do with it other than being the products featured by i-D in the spread.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks this is an official American Apparel ad. It's a fashion magazine. It's a fashion photo shoot by the magazine. Really not that hard to figure out.

its an interesting photo. while it is fashion, it's okay to reflect on images (anon commenter). fashion is an art. in art there is expression, messages, beauty, etc. it's up to the person that's viewing it to interpret it the way they see it. btw, her name is sasha... small print on the right hand side.
