"Without Models": Models and photographers call for the end of lean mind
No more skinny dizziness: A survey by the modeling community Stylished.com revealed that Heidi Klum's curves are inspiring, but Victoria Beckham's bones are put off. Around 91% of the surveyed models and photographers find it questionable that the model business is dominated by lean models. They call for a rethinking of fashion houses, designers and agencies and welcome the fact that ChroniquesDuVasteMonde opposes the meager pressure in the modeling industry. Frightening are the answers of the surveyed models: Only every third model is therefore a normal eating behavior to the day. The majority admitted to starving before each shoot to be even thinner than the competition. The fact that modeling is not always a dream job is also shown by these figures: 18% are unhappy when they grow and more than every tenth girl compares to the top names in the industry.
Read a selection of comments from the photographers and models who participated in the survey:
Christine, model
"In my spare time, I like to be in front of the camera, but so far I have not been told by photographers that I'm too heavy or fat just because I do not have the so-called" ideal "dimensions more feminine forms have that orders are often awarded only to thinner, which have at most the size of clothes 36th Here, I often wonder, but then, because even a woman with dress size 38 and more can charisma and have that certain something. Skinny models are not attractive to me, I lack the naturalness, you always look at the bony body instead of the fashion that they wear, and I think that should not be the designer's sense, fashion is also very good with normal weight and here it is much more realistic, because the fashion should be worn by everyone.The designers should think about it: Just because a model is well-formed and curvy, the fashion that they wear n Not bad! "
Helge, Model
"Of course, models on the catwalks have to look graceful and graceful, but what is shown in part at the shows has nothing to do with it." Browdily modeling models as ideals of beauty is also very questionable. "Many young girls see them as role models and try The death of the Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston has shown that the demands seem to be in part over what is possible through sports and healthy nutrition, which is sexy in my opinion, dear designer, shows more curves "
Sandra, photographer
"I feel it's a mental disaster that we've come to an age when there are suddenly diseases that have the potential to be afraid of eating on a daily basis or having to relearn food because you're at a normal weight Unfortunately, the media and fashion world has made the biggest contribution to this, and I think the designers have only adapted to this over the years, but have not pursued this ideal since the trend will inevitably continue over the next few years This direction will continue unless strict conditions are imposed on the media and fashion sectors that prohibit the publication and presentation of such "ideals of beauty." Madrid has already taken the first step in the right direction and has set an example, hopefully at some point Model finds its way across borders. "
Jörg, photographer
"Skinny models stylize a trend that should be taken to counter, suggesting to the consumer that having to" have to "and being" lean "is" in. "I think that is very worrying Day more and more likely to identify with normal-figure or a XXL-model than with a lean model The fashion industry is living here a dangerous trend.One of my models is this trend "expired" and an advertiser has expressly expressed that they do not book because of their too lean appearance because his clients do not recognize each other here, I can only very clearly agree with that. "There are no skinny models left in my model portfolio."
Anna, model
"Models should bring out the clothes, not themselves, so you should not see them as little as possible, because they're just moving clothes racks." Sad thing, does one really need less fabric and less food? The fashion world still seems that way not to have understood and so it will probably continue to give young girls whose daily ration consists of three lettuce leaves.
Ralf, photographer
"The Stylish survey on" skinny models "clearly shows a turnaround that I can fully support! Photographers and models are calling for rethinking, away from the Twiggy syndrome of the 1960s." It's about time that fashion houses, designers and agencies changed the trend Rediscovering time, a kind of renaissance renewal on this subject who sticks to the old clichés - only those who are thin, corresponds to the ideal of the present day - loses in the industry in the long term, the road liability The renewal can mean: I am the, that I am - unique! A challenge for everyone involved. "
