Models.

A lot of people criticize the fashion industry for the size of women. I just want to say that from the business perspective it's really about showcasing the clothes and not the model.

You need bodies that are a standard size that can wear any of the garments easily. You don't want to have too many alternations because your model's (women/ men) body does not conform to the standard size.



People should learn not to glorify models and should look for better role models for emulation.

The 'standard size' ought to be slightly bigger than anorexic.

There are people who are naturally skinny, healthy and not prone to bulimia.


Designers need to make their garments look as good as possible to ensure they have a line that will quickly sell out. The same design looks different on different sizes. Most designs look better on lean and long bodies. It's just the aesthetics of it.
 
Fashion has been about what is hard to do. Through history it has been harder to get enough food to have extra flesh so ideals were different.

Fashion must take effort to stand out and now it takes the most effort to be thin, at least in the western world. Although many people "get" that fashion is about being comfortable with who you are and being that way, an industry can't survive on that.

"Everybody's great the way they are!" sells not so much.
 
Robyn Lawley might have larger vital statistics than most fashion models, but at six feet two inches she can be more developed and still show the clothes well.

Those statistics on a woman of five feet two?

The clothes wouldn't look so great.

The photos in catalogues and from fashion shoots are arranged to show the clothes at their best. The same items hanging limply on a rack in a charity shop look boring.
 
In plus-sized models, the Hispano-Suiza company was known for great sweeping curves, ample room....

I like the 1938.

Seriously....

It may be that SOME models or even MOST models have eating disorders but to generalize that everyone that photographs well is unhealthy is not a PSA.

If A model wants to relate HER story in hopes of either working on her own issues or "saving" others, well fine. But her projections are her own.

Be who YOU are at your best. Hating on slender chicks isn't going to make you more attractive, or healthier.

Everyone is supposed to be so inclusive of those that appear to be less than fit, but it is somehow OK to make disparaging comments about someone that APPEARS to you unhealthy at the thin end of the spectrum.

That's for her and her doctor to figure out. It's assumed that thin people are anorexic, but should one then assume that the more ample are over-eaters?

If someone IS anorexic they need support not public ridicule. As far as "Dying" we are ALL on our way to death, some at a more hastened pace. There are no "plus sized" 80 year-olds.

What is the standard size then?

Whatever size you are striving to be is the 'standard size'.

Somewhere between that and this.

I don't find runway models attractive - all bone angles no fluid. But then I look at myself and think 'ok, very thin but very fit' and I go eat an apple instead of a sandwich.

Exactly! There is a height as well as body size standard (upper and lower limits assigned). So you can be too tall or too thin.

End of the day the designer needs to display their creations in the best light possible that will ensure maximum sales. It's art but it's also business.

The standard size I was referring is a set of measurements that all samples are made to. These measurements vary from country to country.
 
I understand it's a business. The fashion designers want to sell their wares so they use the models to dress in their products. They want their clothes to look amazing.

But when you see someone walk down the cat walk or in a magazine and you can see they are painfully thin are all eyes really JUST on the clothing?

Eating cotton balls or tissues to feel full or starving yourself to be thin isn't healthy.

(Disclaimer -If you are naturally thin and healthy then it is ok.

-If you are plus size and healthy then it is ok.)

Thankfully some countries are trying to make a difference and sign 'Anti-anorexia' charters.









Sorry Laurel, I forgot about not hot linking pics. :(

Unfortunately there are potentially very high rewards for being an ideal in an industry, so some people are willing to make sacrifices to reach that ideal.

That many of them fail is of course sad and I wish that the ideal were more realistic...but if that were the case...it wouldn't be an ideal any more.

I don't think it's something that is going to change except to become more extreme as the possibilities become more extreme. We're seeing surgery and airbrushing and although that will make "natural' seem "new" it will still trend toward the harder to do and the more exotic.
