I don’t know how it’s like in other countries, but when Norwegian newspapers like VG write about fashion, all there is to it is a lot of boobs and butts. They never care about the clothes, but if there’s a nipple showing you know you will read a big story about it the next day. The stories won’t even say what designer made the clothes! I was planning on writing a post about Oslo Fashion Week, but most of the pictues I could find were close-ups on butts, and I wasn’t even able to find out who had designed the garments covering the butts.

I once wrote a mail to a newspaper complaining about this. The answer I got was just about making fun of me, cause “you can’t have a clue what fashion is all about”. Am I wrong to be more interested in the clothes than in the bodies of the models?

To illustrate what I’m talking about I found some examples from articles named something like “Revealing in Bangkok” and so on:
