It brought back nostalgic memories of arriving for the first time in Lahore. I guess I really had not looked at it in the manner of a clear class conflict and social inequality in Pakistan. It really is sad to see the stark social difference which is inhibiting countries like India and Pakistan from progressing. This image does show how much work we still have in front of us, in abolishing a huge gap between the rich and the poor and in ridding poverty. I will definitely retract my statement of saying I like the Khulli's presence in the pictures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13298052333276768409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1280050186885665886.post-2175207956282098172012-03-07T21:26:08.205-08:002012-03-07T21:26:08.205-08:00I see a lot of indifference in your write up regar...I see a lot of indifference in your write up regarding Sana & Safinaz's ad campaign this year. But that can also be overlooked by many. Not only is the first image a rip off from a Vogue India photoshoot, where the impoverished were used as models holding luxury brands but also it is highly tasteless. The first image implies nothing positive, no matter which angel you choose to refer it from. <br />The bag's price tag is worth more than the man's entire life's earnings and I don't see how that image fits in advertising a lawn suit. It's highly distasteful for a brand as big as Sana and Safinaz to be so ignorant and not understand the importance of NOT creating such an evident divide between the rich and the poor. <br />These lines from an article regarding the Vogue controversy wrap it up<br />"There are ethics that extend beyond the prerogative of a high profile shoot, certain things that one simply does not do – impoverished citizens, making $1.25 a day, are not the same as struggling models paying their dues, people."Kiran.M.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12449095387427401635noreply@blogger.com
