Nostalgia

Article Abstract:

An appreciation of American rock singer Janis Joplin is presented. Richard Avedon's black and white photography for a 1968 edition of Vogue presented an image of youth and serenity which was at odds with the coarseness of her natural appearance. The author finds inspiration in Joplin's attitude to life.

Society has often scorned women's passion for fashion, claiming it is shameful and does not adhere with feminist ideals. It is, however, possible to combine the love for shopping with the fight for women's liberation. Women are given the right to choose whatever they choose to buy and wear.
