Of course, they could just design clothes for shorter, less-slender people, but since that's not the way the fashion world generally works...
Why all the smilieys?
models used to be rounder...
coke is not one of the reason, it cos that want agency wants, but coke
is most certianly use by them to lose weight and deal with the pressure.
To get slim there is of course ED for those that are too lazy
to go do some sport...
And they use special coke as well, got less calories in it, as seen here
never mind
It might make it worste for some, but it does help and even save others...
And I am sorry, but some people who has ED does do it because it is more
easy than going to the gym and do some sport to lose extra calories or
go on a diet.
Not all of them I agree, my statement was a bit general, but saying it make it
worste is the same, it is no true in all cases...
eating disorders have a lot more to it than just wanting to lose weight, there are all sorts of other mental and emotional things going on
Because most designer make their clothes as size 6's or 8's and put the pressure on the models to fit into the clothes. God knows why they prefer the skeleton look. Maybe they think their clothes hang better on human coat hangers.
As for their uniformity, it has to be that way, as others have mentioned they are clothes horses, to run a show where the models are different sizes would cost a fortune.
i think he'd probably just got back in from a night out!
if they send skinny, uniform, androgynous girls down, everyone thinks 'wow, look at those nice clothes'.
then everyone would think 'urgh, mingtastic!!!'
they need something non-descript to hang the clothes on.
They do. Skinny or not, I see very few runway models that even look attractive in the face. I can't even explain it, but just their faces are hideous. Dead looking. Just ugly really. And I will never understand why they do such the bizzare rotten looking eye makeup.
Spot on...and I also like to use them.
I think real skinny girls are a turn off and it has to be something to do with an eating disorder. You can't look in the mirror and think you look good without having some sort of problem.
I think thats hit the nail on the head.
Oh like hangers. Walking clothes hangers.
Whats this
or this
god forbid this
Thats what makes children cry. I dont understand the "fashion"
