In it, mannequin-esque models vamp in a crowded storeroom or warehouse, even though no one's there to appreciate their [fierce poses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela). 'The Innocent' by Diego Diaz is the sort of incisive photo shoot that makes me think about the objectification of women in the fashion industry. Enjoy its beauty above. **Implications** - Businesses that devote their efforts to representing a common belief or an important cause within society will benefit by garnering the attention of a wide audience.
