What are your opinions on high fashion models?

I honestly believe that many of them are to skinny and are portraying a bad image for young girls but now high fashion is using young girls as young as 9 years old to model women clothing. I don’t think by using undeveloped kids to showcase clothing made for mature women is healthy on young girls self esteem who are going through puberty. I know many girls now-a-days who hate their hips and i can’t help to think it has to do with the use of underdeveloped models for many fashion shows.

Answer #1

I agree with you 100%. It’s sickening but they do work hard & it’s how they make a living I guess. I read somewhere earlier that 140 pounds in the modeling industry is considered plus size, now that’s just wrong.

Answer #2

yea it is wrong. If you aren’t a size 5 or under basically you are plus sized which is ridiculous because that is a normal size for a teenage girl is 5 and up. I can’t help but think having a job as a high fashion model would only drive young minded girls to a state of mind where they believe they need to stay as thin as possible so they don’t loose their job.

Answer #3

It’s the entire media. If you watch advertisements on TV or see them in magazines, how many times do you see a plus size model? Almost never. Society is being spoon-fed this ideal image of what an “attractive” woman is considered to be. Even celebrities that are plus size usually go on diets to become thinner. I’m not saying that it’s bad to lose weight, I’m just saying that it’s bad to make yourself a certain way just to be accepted instead of changing for yourself. I love Adele because she doesn’t care about those stupid standards. Her goal isn’t to be a Covergirl model or “skinny minnie” with her “t*ts hanging out” (she actually said that haha). But yeah… It just sucks that a lot of people don’t see the beauty or uniqueness in every woman out there. We’re not supposed to look like skinny clones! We’re supposed to be different :)

Answer #4

there is an amazing qoute from a british tv programme called ‘Absolutely Fabulous’

“If models were any younger they would be chucking fetus’s down the catwalk”

haha but yeah I agree, using young girls with undeveloped hips and breasts… its stupid because women are not built to be skinny, in nature women arnt meant to be skinny because of carrying babies and stuff

Answer #5

Fat aint healthy…and it is in BIG supply round these parts…most single women i know have a waist line bigger than my healthy self…and they need some errr Vision of healthyness…So lets keep slim models to give the chunksters a reminder every now an then,just not kids in womens clothes as stated above.

Answer #6

They aren’t just using slim models they are using undevelped girls and anorexic women which is not an image i think people should be looking up to. Being anorexic and underweight isnt healthy either. Maybe if the models were fit as opposed to thin then i wouldn’t mind as much but their not. Also just because a women has a large waist doesn’t mean she is unhealthy. My mother is 190lb which is considered over weight but she mostly muscle except her stomach and she is completely healthy.

Answer #7

i can only explain in single word.. awesome

Answer #8

I’m flat mainly because of my dads side but I like it because I can look as a boy if I want to lol. Thr models are just nasty looking. Well nasty in the way that they use girls who don’t have anything as models. Seriously WTF?! Women are supposed to be curvy( If that’s in their DNA) not have the bodies of 12 year old boys. It’s just nasty O.e
