Image is Powerful: Cameron Russell at TEDxMidAtlantic 2012

Cameron Russell has spent the last decade posing as a supermodel. Occasionally she writes about grassroots public art and political power, and experiments with making art for the internet and the street. She is the director of The Big Bad Lab which creates participatory art and media platforms dedicated to including people in radical demonstrations of positive social change.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

fashion is responsible for 'socially-racial problems and also responsible for solving them?

-No.

Perception and image are linked- sure. So one source (talked about in the video)of that linkage is not the only one to blame.

Grooming is not more than a natural thing deriving from our self awareness and basic instincts.

Fashion didn't start in Latin/poor/black countries. The standards for fashion were & (mostly) remained European,
