Is it just me... or are models that are really skinny/anorexic looking just plain unappealing on the RUNWAY!
After reviewing a couple of fashion shows from the 2011 Fashion Weeks - it seems that designers are still going for the incredibly thin models in comparison to models who can really sell clothes by filling them out!!!
On top of that, some models are skinny and tall - but in NO WAY do they resemble a model's healthy body or even the most important = A BEAUTIFUL FACE!!!
It's not uncommon to find an average looking guy; slim, tall and of a plain, pale & sickly complexion walking down the runways of Burberry!!
What happened to the likes of faces like Marcus Schenkenberg/ Tyson Beckford/ Antonio Sabato Jr. on the runway. A face that would captivate audiences and make you go 'NOW THAT'S A MODEL!"
Are we moving away from the era of supermodels and simply settling for any average tall Joes on the runway! Evidently we are!!! Let's have a look....

| WHERE IS HER BOOBS? It's in no way filling out the dress! |

| REALLY? Model Like? |
What ever happened to real BEAUTY??
What happened to supermodels, showstoppers or even beautiful models who promote healthy curves and most importantly FILLING out CLOTHES????
It's so nice to watch Victoria Secret models strut their stuff on the catwalk! They own the runway with their strong walk/ their sexy curves & their natural BEAUTY! It makes you want to immediately buy their products simply because it looks good on them! (which is the whole purpose of modeling clothes)!!
What are we trying to promote in FASHION? Have we not learnt enough after various deaths of anorexic/bulimic models - and for what? All this in pursuit of perfection...a perfect image that exist only in their heads! And what did it lead to?...
DEATH!
DEATH!
Now this is beauty...and I mean real curves & MEAT! Sim yet Filled! Tell me who does not prefer these....
There's a vast difference in putting someone like Tyra Banks, Giselle Bunchen or even Heidi Klum in a couture gown in comparison to someone who has very tiny boobs and bum!
OR even...
putting someone like Tyson Beckford or Marcus Schenkenberg in an underwear in comparison to skinny average Joe 'Burberry' like male models!
SORRY TO BE SO ABRUPT...
But this issue angers me terribly so!
We want Models/ Super Models on the Runway who fill out clothes! Not someone tall yet aneroxic, who has no model attributes whatsoever!
It looks like we need celebrities like Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and even Jennifer Lopez to show models and designers how clothes should be filled out on the runways!
Let's promote healthy beauty in FASHION and not ridiculous size zero models who end up making the clothes they model really non-attractive and non-appealing; and eventually lead to their frailty and sickliness!!! :>

YES YES YES! I love it! The pressure of having to be so ridiculously thin has led to models leading a super-unhealthy lifestyle, i.e. they chain-smoke to keep themselves from eating and their lack of normal fat has led to their hormones being out of whack. It's really sad.
ReplyDeletemore curves the merrier..oh yeah i think i can be one too:)
ReplyDeleteagreed!!!!! omg!!! that dress in the pic after Tyra....GORGEOUS!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah the things these people to do to fit into the industry that demands ridiculous expectations!
ReplyDeleteYUP curves curves curves!!
I hate the no boob ones that walk the runway with the bust area hanging away!
I totally agree with you, Diva. Although one can't really help in the boobies department... some are just born flat-chested... like HELLO! Anyway, designers need to wake up and realise that cachexia is doesn't sell.....
ReplyDeleteALAMAk I know lah Lucy Liew - this is aimed at those with sickly problems ---
ReplyDeleteBut also aimed at designers who go for that look! It's not appealing for a model at all!!! Right?
