Children give their opinion on fashion ads in an eye-opening video

Sive O'Brien

Most children don’t think twice about saying exactly what they see – whether it’s pleasant or not. Which is why a video that answers some very big questions about the fashion world is such an eye-opener.

In a clip titled Niños vs. Moda (Children vs. Fashion), artist Yolanda Domínguez showed a group of eight-year-old Spanish children a number of abstract (and absurd) fashion campaigns. She also asks the question, “Is it only children who perceive the violence with which women are presented in fashion editorials?”

Highlighting the dark side of the fashion world, their responses – most of which are nothing to do with style – make very interesting viewing.
