The Gaze
9 years ago by
Même si on n’est pas attiré par une personne, on a le droit de l’observer.
Non, mais vraiment, personne ne vous en voudra, on le fait tous…
On mate les cheveux, les fringues, les visages. Ou les chaussures.
Donc regarder le court-métrage de Chelsea McMullan The Way We Dress, ça nous parle. Des femmes qui regardent des femmes, juste comme ça.
Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant, c’est le message du film : on devrait pouvoir s’admirer, se regarder et s’admirer les uns les autres, tout simplement. Ne pas avoir peur ou honte de laisser traîner son regard un peu plus longtemps quand une tenue ou un look attire l’attention.
N’oubliez pas : les femmes doivent être solidaires des femmes ;)
I really enjoyed the spirit and message of this film. I have started not just gazing but verbally expressing my pleasure in how someone looks. That is because there were many people who took the risk to look and to tell me they liked my style, or commented that I looked beautiful. This gave me an incredibly good feeling. It also gave me the confidence to start a blog. So I try to return the favor whenever I can.

This is so validating. I always pay attention to what others are wearing – I used to think too much, but this little film shows that it’s a common thing to do. I find, though, when I stop a woman and tell her that I love her outfit, she’s freaked out at first. People aren’t used to strangers stopping and talking to them these days. We’ve got to change that. Yay for women supporting women!
I always stop and compliment women, either on their beauty or whether it is something they are wearing that catches my attention. I agree, women should be supporting women.
Btw, the is filmed in my home city of Toronto.
I get butterflies when I see a great inspirational fashionista person, although it´s getting more difficult every day since people are trying to attract so much attention. I remember when « fashionistas » used to be brave rare human beings. Love finding what is left of uniqueness
