Case Study: Tourism, Fashion and 'The Other'

What I found the most interesting about this case study was how influential fashion was on tourism in the East. I knew that photography brought about a movement of interest to the East and exploring its "exoticness" and utopianism. Most of the photographs portrayed the women of the East as beneath and the empowerment of white men. I found it interesting because post cards were sold by the millions of women's commodification of their bodies. It intrigued me because when I think mostly about post cards I think of happy beautiful things not of women but as it said it showed a sense of exoticism that attracted the west to travel. With these post cards spreading into all the homes of the Europeans and  Western homes its brought about travel to the East. Another interesting thing was while traveling photographers set up photo shoots and travelers could dress up in 'custom' gards. This added to the fact of "exoticness" of the East of the superiority of the white men and women.
