In today’s society, having the perfect body has been a growing issue for women for a very long time but now, more than ever, women are expected to be skinny but have curves “in all the right places”. This mentality can lead to self-esteem issues as women grow up, even if they are a healthy weight. When women are larger than the size of models that they see on billboards and magazine covers, they think they aren’t pretty enough or not thin enough and this can trigger eating disorders or mental illnesses. All of this is just because most women do not fit into society’s idea of “perfection”. Recently, clothing shops like Debenhams have been introducing “plus-size” mannequins (sizes 16-18) in their advertising campaigns as opposed to the usual

The fashion industry plays a huge role in portraying bad images of ideal beauty, which in turn affects today’s society perception of their own body image. Not only are women affected by what is seen and heard about how the perfect body should appear, children of young ages are now feeling insecure and obsessed with their bodies before they reach teenage years. This ‘ideal image’ the fashion industry continues to enforce only focuses on very thin models who seem to be in shape and are very healthy. Furthermore, many people think of the influence from the fashion industry as being human representations (models). Because of the rising problem with the image of beauty within the fashion industry, it is shown that even mannequins and non-human representations (mannequins, dolls, photoshopping) of bodies play a significant role in women’s body image; which causes problems to the individual. (Anshutz & Engels, 2010). Body image and self-satisfaction, eating disorders and non-human representations all can cause harm to the individual, if prolonged.

Is being plastic and fantastic always the way to be? Models straight from the runway of Paris, London and Milan are shrunk into plastic version and presented as the ideal image of a woman. Children learn through the art of toys. Through play children learn about the world they live in. American business woman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration.

I choose to talk about the Target Corporation, because it is a franchise where consumers constantly shop at for their grocery, home décor, and bathroom essentials. The Target brand is in the general merchandise retailing industry and was first established in 1962. Target’s mission statement states: “Our mission is to make Target your preferred shopping destination in all channels by delivering outstanding value, continuous innovation and exceptional guest experiences by consistently fulfilling our Expect More. Pay Less. ® brand promise” (Target Corp., n.d.). The company’s mission statement implies that Target is a store where consumers can get products for a reasonable price.

There are many privacy implications on the EyeSee mannequins like spying on customers in stores. The American Civil Liberties Union stated that tracking individual’s activities with the support of modern information technology has brought major privacy problem. Almax states retailers can use their mannequins only to collect data, but do not share images of individuals. The catch is that they can if they have a closed-circuit television license. Another privacy implications are whether we are being told the truth about these mannequins. Are we being used for commercial gain? Do we have an option to opt out? The reason why retailers use mannequins instead of cameras for the reason why many customers would object to being monitored.
