The fashion world is all about maintaining a stick-thin figure and these ‘I Want You Skinny’ portraits humorously poke fun at fashion designers and their obsession with being thin.
Alexsandro Palombo transforms the iconic Uncle Sam posters to depict fashion designers encouraging people to get thinner with an unhealthy body image. Albeit controversial, the Palombo posters tackle the real issue of people’s desire to be thin and the alleged source of this pressure. Witnessing tall, lanky and underweight models on the runway sends out an indirect message to people that skinny is hot. In reality, not everyone is skinny but the underlying pressure to do so is prevalent.
Alexsandro Palombo's 'I Want You Skinny' graphics is a humorous masking over a serious issue.
