The Vogue editor continued, “There will also be casting directors and stylists involved who have a vision of the type of woman they envisage wearing these clothes. Many who fall into anorexia and bulimia are driven by the idea that they can only feel good if they look more like what they see on the runways and in the fashion mags. The editor admitted that there is a difference between “slim” and “scary skinny.” And this “scary skinny” fashion image is contributing to the poor body image of millions of women. These collections are then sent to the runway, worn by tall, pin-thin models because that’s the way the designer wants to see the clothes fall.” Few designers have a curvy or petite fit model. “The “fit” model begins the fashion process: designer outfits are created around a live, in-house skeleton. But especially in the last decade, as one former Vogue editor was quoted in The Guardian, designers prefer a “fit” model. Not so long ago these same designers wanted to feature beautiful models like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or Gisele Bundchen, and prettier clothes. To designers who want to make an artistic statement and tell a story about the corruption of culture. Google “Why are models so…” and Google will suggest options like “…ugly as sin” or “…thin and sulky.” The results will take you to articles and conversations attributing it to gay men who run the fashion industry, to designers who want to objectify women into living “hangars,” whose looks or personalities will not detract from their clothes.
