I spent today talking about semiology with a friend and trying to apply it to this advert from the 1980s for the British newspaper, the Daily Mail. One of the issues that came up in analysing a historical advert was that of interpreting the fashion and style of those times. Is the model’s casual style of dress meant to signal the housewife outside her usual milieu but equally capable of keeping up with these men in the background in terms of current events? Or is she one of the guys - perhaps even in a position of power in relation to them as a career woman in the typical media costume of the day? It’s interesting that modern fashions aren’t a story of progress in the same way that technology is. I like all the chunky machines in the background here.  Image: unknown photographer, Daily Mail
