    A Lesson in Style from Pixar Ladies

    Fashion inspiration is everywhere. And frankly, it may even be healthier to take one’s sartorial motivation from characters who aren’t even capable of being Photoshopped into non-human status. It’s implied - they look the way they do as a direct expression of artistic vision - not necessarily as part of some effort to sexualize being. As a recognition of this observation, the Lessons in Style series will continue until I run out of faux women to emulate. This week: Pixar’s ladies.

    From top to bottom, these ladies are so inspirational to me. None of them are weak in any way. They are strong, resilient, resourceful and bold. If you don’t think that’s a form of fashion inspiration - think again. Note how they hold themselves. How they choose clothing for function and beauty. In truth: Wardrobe exemplifies what makes each their own person. That’s a good lesson for our own stylistic choices.

    And yes, I refuse to promote the new Merida. She’s ridiculous. And she’s a victim of the aforementioned fashion culture that relies on turning the human to inhuman standards in order to poison our culture with self-loathing. I liked Merida as she was conceived. So I’ll leave the plastic surgery version for the Disney store.
