Brand YOU is a new online content series developed by Mushroom Group and supported by Victorian Government. Across the 6 episode series, prominent female Artists to the likes of Isabella ‘izzi’ Manfredi, Alice Ivy, Thando, Gordi, D’Arcy Spiller and Amy Dowdle, speak candidly with music industry women on issues facing girls and young women today.

In the final episode of Series One, Lastings’ voice and frontwoman Amy Dowdle chats with Frontier Touring’s Siobhan Kranz, as they delve into the pressure put on young women and girls to achieve an impossible beauty standard that is factitious, however instilled into girls through ever-present social media that we are increasingly surrounded and influenced by.

“Social media is a huge issue – especially for young women. There is this ‘beauty standard’ that everyone is trying to achieve and I think it’s important to know that we’re all human and that we are all imperfectly perfect. We are all trying to reach that impossible standard that the media is trying to make us think is the right thing, that this ‘beauty standard’ is what we should all look like.” – Amy Dowdle
