Lately the fashion industry has been criticised repeatedly for having a negative impact on people’s lives. From Size Zero models on the catwalk to air-brushing in magazines, critics have accused the fashion industry of contributing to the low self-esteem of the nation as well as to mental health problems such as depression or anxiety.
So, what is the powerful link between fashion and self-esteem? What lies behind a person’s interest in fashion? Can we ever be too obsessed with it? And how does fashion impact on body image? Lucy Beresford, Psychotherapist and Agony Aunt explores the role of fashion in society and offers her view as to how the fashion industry could combat some of the criticisms laid against it.
Lucy Beresford, Psychotherapist (The Priory and Private Practice) and Broadcaster.
