Expression Methods of Sexual Image in Fashion Collection Makeup
김지희 Kim Jee-hee
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how to express the concept of sex through fashion collection makeup in modern society in an effort to shed light on the social roles of makeup. The way of looking at sex in modern society is flexible, and there are three different sorts of sexuality. One is a metro sexual that refers to a man who admits and reveals his own inner femininity, and another is a contra sexual that denotes a woman who has both masculine toughness and feminine delicacy. The third is a non-sexual which refer to a person who has the characteristics of both sexes and perform sexual roles in a flexible manner. In fashion collection makeup, emphasizing the image of a particular sex makes it possible to convert to the other sex, and dissolving an image that doesn`t have any particular sexual characteristics makes it possible to express various kinds of identity. In addition, there is a coexistence of images that represents the characteristics of both sexes, which is to admit that two different sexual images could coexist in a single individual. Makeup is not only a way of expressing one`s identity and values but one of primary sociocultural behaviors that represent, describe and lead the flow of society. In the future, makeup will be of a greater social significance.
