“The Fashion Industry”- a staple ploy of the world system, engineered chiefly and ultimately by the Devil and carried out by his many minions. C.S. Lewis sums it up well in his book The Screwtape Letters, here Screwtape, a Chief demon, is passing on some important information to his student, Wormwood, that pertains to this subject, our generation calls “The Fashion Industry:”
“We have engineered a great increase in the license which society allows to the representation of the apparent nude (not real nude) in art, and its exhibition on the stage or the bathing suits. It is all fake, of course; the figures in the popular art falsely drawn; the real women in bathing suits or tights are actually pinched in and popped up to make them appear firmer and more slender and more boyish than nature allows a full-grown woman to be. Yet at the same time, the modern world is taught to believe that it is being ‘frank’ and ‘healthy’ and getting back to nature. As a result we are more and more directing the desires of men to something which does not exist-making the role of the eye in sexuality more and more important and at the same time making it’s demand more and more impossible. What follows you can easily forecast.”
