Abstract

People are surrounded with unrealistic images that are altered and manipulated to appear "perfect" and when they compare themselves with such images, they develop feelings of Self-doubt and believe they should change certain physical aspects to be considered attractive. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the influence of unrealistic beauty standards set up by the Fashion industry and its effects on a person's physical and mental Wellbeing. We conducted a survey questionnaire targeted at approximately 224 young adults with a mean age of 20-30 years. As a result, 95.6% of our survey respondents agreed that the fashion industry has set up unrealistic beauty standards that deleteriously affect a person's general health and Wellbeing.
