Description
Summary:Introduction: In this article we study the representation of children's body at the point of sale of children's fashion shops, with the aim of analyzing the body image projected in these establishments aimed at children as consumers and their parents as buyers. Methodology: Through observation as a method, a series of variables (thinness, height, etc.) applied to the components of the point of sale have been analyzed. This analysis was carried out on a sample of 50 establishments belonging to 18 brands of children's fashion. Results and conclusions: The results obtained explained the realities analyzed in previous research, such as the disaffection of children by their body or related eating disorders, since most establishments tend to generate images of unreal adult children.
