Representation-The Man

On close inspection everything is too perfect to have been "just thrown together". Just as much as a Savile Row suit this look is all about fit. The cardigan and shirt are the perfect length, the trousers are perfectly personalized, the shoes well-aged. Consider also how his pose reflects his personality. He is upright and self confident. He doesn't appear to be threatening. He is at ease. This man has style in his bones.

This man is called Doug Bilmaier and he heads Ralph Lauren's vintage department. This gentlemen travels the world buying all the great vintage items (frames,books,fixtures etc) that you find decorating Ralph's stores.

Representations of Age

Apologies for missing today's lesson. Your task is to think about how age is represented in the media. Remember that most characterisations presented to us by the media are stereotypes. This makes them easy to recognise and understand. This applies very clearly to notions of Age in the media. As you know teenagers get a particularly rough deal from mainstream media. The same applies to the old. In pairs you need to make a very brief list of the most obvious stereotypes for both groups. Then you need to choose a young or old character from a TV drama and make a presentation based on their representation. Add as much detail as you can. Include pictures and clips to illustrate your points.Think about how fair and accurate the representation is. As a class you need to make sure you all look at a different character and that some of you look at older characters. We'll look at these presentations tomorrow.
