Although some fashion brands are small, they still change society a bit with their advertising. Lonely Lingerie is one such label from New Zealand that has been a source of excitement in the past with their models, the 'Lonely Girls'. And why are we so excited about the ladies presenting the pretty underwear? Because they look just like us: Authentic, unretouched, real – with corners and edges. And it's not about the old 'competition' between fat and thin! The point is that through makeup, twisted poses, a body trimmed for the moment, and lots of post-processing, models simply do not look like real women anymore. Especially in underwear advertisements, the ladies must be charming, erotic, yes, oversexualized. And the target group of women's underwear advertisements should actually be women themselves. Nevertheless, the subjects are photographed with a masculine look, which means that the models are degraded to an object of desire of the man.
