This Eniko Mihalik Vogue Nippon spread in the December 2010 issue seems to take influences from the popular TV show 'Desperate Housewives.'
Featuring Mihalik doing daily chores around the house, with backgrounds of gardening and playground babysitting, these pages show Eniko Mihalik as she rocks with ultimate housewife style. Who said house-cleaning had to be drabby? As demonstrated here, the Enriko Mihalik Vogue Nippon issue surely believes otherwise.
Implications - Historically, being a housewife was the standard of living for the majority of women before the 1970s. In modern times, the rise of the career woman has left the typical 1950s housewife as nothing but an image for men to be nostalgic for and fantasize about. Editorials, ads and artwork that are inspired by the styles of these vintage housewives are popular for both men and women who admire both the style and the progress of modern society.
