A fashionable spin on politics? Booth Moore made it possible with his coverage of Fashion Week in Paris in "Big End to Anything-Goes Week." Moore mainly discussed the contraversial John Galliano show in which the designer featured models to represent the "post-trend" era. There were short models, old models, fat models, and cross-dressing models of all races and sexual orientations. The show demonstrated the growing understanding of beauty that has not been adequately represented in the fashion world. According to Moore, Galliano was also commenting on the gay marriage issue in the United States, contrasting it to France's more accepting policies. The featured homosexuality showed that not only does the fashion world need to be more open-minded on beauty, but the government on who deserves fair treatment. The article then continued to address different designers. I though Moore did a fantastic job on this piece because he appealed to one audience through fashion and managed to tie in politics. He vividly described the clothing and the shows, but took it to the next level that most people don't. The sophistication of that connection shows me that politics truly is in everything, and that such seemingly diverged interests could come together in America's "post-trend" era.
