Dolce & Gabbana


This representation shows how men are in control of women and how powerless women are to being sexual objects. Natural lighting is used to portray the fact that women objectification is a good thing. Because it seems to be a fine, blue sky day it shows the representation of the image to be pleasant, women objectification is seen to be approved of. The camera angle is looking up to the men, giving them a sense of power over the grounded woman. Costume is used also in this image to illustrate the sexual meaning of the representation. The women is wearing vivid red lipstick and black leather, which gives her a seductive and lustful feel. Because there is five men and only one women, it suggests that the men are dominant hegemony of society and women are feeble under this patriarchal society. This representation is not realistic because men and women are equal. Men are obviously the dominant hegemony in this image, they outnumber the women. In consequence, this representation is potentially teaching women that presenting themselves is the best for society. They may be to involved in pursuing attractiveness then to get proper careers.
