All I see is women who enjoy dressing up. Despite the patronising text you can see from the photos that each woman in these photographs has a bold and distinctive personal style that doesn't pander to what other people might find attractive or appropriate. Why is it assumed that an interest in clothing and fashion is more superficial, consumerist and insecure than an interest in, say, architecture or even photography?
