Annalisa Hartlaub is a 16 year old Ohio State University student, during her studies she came across herself asking the same question that was on every teenage girls mind 'What might i have looked like if i were from a previous century?' with her love for fashion, make up and photography she decided to create a project to answer this question.

“I’ve always been fascinated, and a bit infatuated, with counterculture and how it shapes society and mainstream culture as well,” said Hartlaub to HuffPost. “So I decided to mix that interest with my love of fashion, makeup, and photography to create something.”

It is interesting to see how things have changed within the last decade, and how far fashion has come as well as repeating itself. 

Ben Hopper is a london based photographer who has recently created a series called 'natural beauty'. He tries to portray a healthier take on the beauty standards that women are subject to every day of their lives. 

Many of the women he has photographed are actresses and models, the kind of young, attractive and idolised people that often set the beauty standards. He is trying to show that body hair, or lack of it, has very little to do with the overall beauty of a woman. 

“I don’t want to say that I want women to start growing their armpit hair,” Hopper told Huffpost. “I just think that it’s a possibility and people shouldn’t dismiss it. I’d like people to just question [beauty standards], the whole thing.”

“Although armpit hair is a natural state it has become a statement,” he notices. “Why is that?”

Girls are highly influenced from a young age and it is gradually getting younger. As we see from this post a 4 year old little girl was inspired by models and celebrities and wanted to create her own copy of their beautiful dresses in paper. 

'After the mother was tired of her little one “creating” her own style from Angie’s scarves and sheets, she came up the idea to create dresses out of paper. To her surprise, Mayhem (Angie’s nickname for her little girl) was instantly hooked and demanded to create new dresses every day. 9 months later, the two fashionistas have assembled quite a collection, worthy of a junior runaway in Paris.'

English photographer James Mollinson traveled around the world photographing children and their bedrooms. 

“I hope the book gives a a glimpse into the lives some children are living in very diverse situations around the world; a chance to reflect on the inequality that exists, and realise just how lucky most of us in the developed world are,” says James.

These images show how much impact it has on the viewer and their reaction and thoughts to portraits when the subjects most personal space is involved.
