The observing models expressions range from curiously, to awe to anger. They are a reflection of the mixed reactions the confident woman receives, and the societal constraints placed upon her. Setting his editorial in Renaissance times, 2b+photo eludes to how throughout history society has always been shocked by both the confident woman and latest in womenswear. In the last scene of the editorial, 2b+photo places the Renaissance men in an oil painting. Once they are put in their static place, we see that the once provocative woman only exemplifies beauty, glamour and strength.
