The industry is so full of lies. I know there's tons of filthy rich people who bought their way into fashion modelling for the sake of media attention...What is seen is still a rather lopsided representation.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be beautiful... to look good...to look fashionable...to wanting to look like a goddess so to speak.....but how can you really look beautiful if you do not feel good about yourself ? or wanting to be all that for the wrong reasons ?.........
The models ...the cover...the clothes...the fantasy...it is all there for people to enjoy it and make up their own minds... and to be used as a sort of "Michelin Guide "......people who mixes reality and fantasy in an unhealthy way then it all becomes rather a personal issue..........problem....
I agree with Christopher Kane's statement ....about using models who are naturally skinny...
People tend to forget that the body structure somehow is changing also......and you have now more... long....lean.....and "genes” encoded beautiful girls who just simply look very graceful in couture for example when the extra, extra meters of fabrics need the right models to carry off the cat walk show.... gracefully, artful and harmoniously all combined with the garment’s silhouette..... but it's mainly and foremost a " SHOW "................a playful game of aesthetics coming together......
“ Beauty “ as some people say and sorry for what it has become a cliche..... “lies within “...some of the so called very "beautiful and glamorous people "......seem "interesting".. .."special"...etc... until you have spoken to them !... When they utter the words them the whole fantasy about that particular “beautiful person “ just disappears like a balloon letting all the air out.........beauty is about yourself......your character.....your positive attitude.......how you can inspire others with your personality and interests............
To illustrate what I am trying to say I like to use this image........just imagine letting the air out of these balloons !.........
He is an intuitive genius....... intentionally or unintentionally this artist ........did successfully visually materialised the metaphor for and about today's society on the whole 'beauty' and 'glamour" idea as depicted today .........
I was watching Showstudio project 48 girls and there were 2 Asians and one Africa among 48 models. I wonder if Show studio do a project of 10 girls from each continent, 10 top models of each continent, how would the end product be?
