 * Delete - fails WP:NOTESSAY quite thoroughly. Ansh666 00:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as a mediocre essay. It is always a bad sign when a phrase like "the following article addresses the issues" appears early on. This looks like a classroom assignment, and if so, I hope that the instructor was not generous in assigning grades.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  03:06, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is pretty much the epitome of a personal essay and WP:OR. The article looks to be pretty much a light re-telling of fashion design and history of fashion design for the most part. However since it's not a new article, we can't speedy it under A10. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:28, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The biggest problem for me is the title - fashion images normally means pictorial illustration and that is a big and important topic in itself, covered very poorly at Fashion illustration and Fashion photography. Pictorial illustration was an important way in which clothing fashions were disseminated in 18th century England, for example. It is not for this process to mark the present essay, fortunately for the original creator, but I wonder if they even read it through. Take this sentence - Fashion in early France was a statement of art. Would that be in Gaul, or Francia, or some other time? Presumably one or more words is missing. And only art? If this is an attempted reference to the world of haute couture then it contradicts the introduction. And so forth. Nothing to merge. --AJHingston (talk) 08:13, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Snow delete' I saw this last night, thought I'd sit on it a few hours, and came back and saw that everyone else had agreed with all my initial thoughts. Having had another look, I concur with all the points above. It does look like a classroom assignment, as Cullen328 suggested - and indeed, I had a check to see whether the creator had been affiliated with such a project. They have made no edits beyond this subject, which strongly supports the conclusion it was an assignment. So yes, unashamedly jumping on the delete bandwagon.
