This is seen in my country, where 20 per cent of Singaporean women will date a shorter man.  This is reflective of the critical role that perceptions of beauty play in our society, such that it influences the choices of Singaporeans in finding a potential mate. Singaporeans are generally focused on productivity, and beauty as an indicator of wealth and fertility would therefore carry a link towards what they would look out for in a potential partner. While some argue that beauty is not a predominant determining factor, the given statistics beg to differ.

I agree with the author's argument that beauty standards have become more inclusive. In Singapore, we see individuals taking it upon themselves to cater to a greater range of lifestyle choices as well as races in our multicultural society. This can be seen in Sahur Saleim's beauty line. Her latest venture, the eponymous makeup line Sahur’s Art, is inspired by fine art and runs on the ethos of inclusivity. Its products are vegan, alcohol-free and cruelty-free.  She wanted customers to be able to see what the products would look like on them regardless of how they look. So she tried to be very extensive for the campaign shoot. She had five shades of lipstick, but showed nine models wearing them. Although this shows that society is moving to a more inclusive outlook on beauty,  the changes stem from individuals who faced issues due to the lack of inclusivity in major beauty brands that the individuals have to take it upon themselves to ensure they are represented and others are able to do so.

This can be clearly seen in Singapore with a new wave of diverse models in the Singaporean modelling scene. This includes non-binary model Alley T with their androgynous style, and plus-sized Farhan Harris who has been making waves by challenging previous notions of toxic masculinity by appearing on catwalks in Singapore. This suggests that Singaporeans are beginning to embrace these once considered non-conformist ideas of beauty and accepting it as mainstream, in-line with the authors’ view that there is no longer a stereotypical way of expressing and seeing one’s beauty.]]> 2023-07-27 03:23:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651865899 https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651866023 I agree that the fashion industry has expanded to become more inclusive and representative of diverse opinions of beauty. For example, Farhan Hanis is a Singaporean male plus-sized model who has been defying traditional beauty standards. In a more conservative society like Singapore, males are expected to have a certain standard of beauty features such as height, jawline and hair. However, he defies these standards and is thriving, testament to the greater receptiveness of new and more accepting beauty standards and representation of all sizes in our society. ]]> 2023-07-27 03:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651866023 https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651868396 I agree with the author’s argument that the perceptions of beauty have evolved as the fashion industry has been forced to be more diverse and open-minded in their perception of beauty, due to the forces created by the internet (para 5). In Singapore, this can be seen in Miss Universe Singapore 2021, where the winner Nandita Banna is shown to display a less conventional form of beauty, and expressed that women in the current generation are not just pretty faces, but excel in other areas such as their academics or careers. This defies the norm of how beauty is perceived in my society. As a representative of Singapore on the global stage, it proves that Singapore as a society is accepting and more open-minded in the perceptions of beauty. Therefore, it is highlighted that the perceptions of beauty has evolved past just appearances, embracing the different forms of beauty. ]]> 2023-07-27 03:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651868396 https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651868516 The author argues that the perceptions of beauty have evolved as the fashion industry has been forced to be more accountable and diverse in its depiction of beauty due to forces created by the internet. We agree with this this stand as in Singapore, younger generations have begun to move towards more progressive, inclusive views including a broader definition of beauty in the fashion industry. For example, fashion brands are increasingly venturing beyond the token plus-sized female models and banking on a diverse cast of faces. A non-binary Singaporean model by the name Alley, has worked with major publications such as Vogue, Female, Elle and Men’s Folio, breaking free from conventional gender classifications, by modelling both male and female segments. Such young models who advocate for greater acceptance of the change in diverse features. Furthermore, Vogue Singapore has come up with covers that featured a diverse range of features and races which was met with great acceptance and appreciation. Due to the large exposure that these publications have, it exposes Singaporeans to a greater range of beauty features, as well as an indication of the evolution of the perception of beauty in Singapore. As such, the shifting mindsets of the young have played a pivotal role in holding the fashion industry accountable for representing different definitions of beauty as well as embracing them. ]]> 2023-07-27 03:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wong_sui_lee/2qp23hd5ii9mapdt/wish/2651868516
