Story | Dove is renewing the fight for real beauty standards by pushing into the activist digital era with a hard-hitting new campaigns. The crucial issue of women and girls’ self-esteem is once again top of the agenda, as Dove highlights the widespread damage caused by the trend of heavily-edited selfies. At the heart of the campaign is a 60 second film, "Reverse Selfie", and is a sequel to Dove’s seminal 2006 film ‘Evolution’, which highlighted the false and unrealistic nature of the beauty ideals perpetuated by the advertising industry and the media. The film begins with an image a young woman has posted of herself on social media. The action then rewinds, reversing all the tweaks and staging that have gone into creating that image, and revealing the shockingly young girl behind the picture. |
