Why do runway models walk with one foot behind the other when human beings generally do not walk this way?

Answer 1

There are a lot of reasons.
1. They look slimmer in the hips and thighs. Not that they need any help in that area, but keeping your legs one behind the other gives a leaner and smoother line.
2. The clothing falls nicer and looks better. The walk allows the clothing to move easier when there is less body in the way to hinder the flow of the fabric.
3. They bounce and jiggle less walking down the runway. Keeping your feet in line gives the woman a glide as she walks. Walking normally, the body tends to bounce and shift more.
4. It pushes her hips from side to side, giving her a "strut" that most people don't have. It's a walk that is considered sexy, but also confident and more eye catching.

I could go on, but I think you get the point.

Answer 2

Thank you Clarkie. That was a very informative answer. The thing is that they look so funny when they walk that way that I am laughing so much at the way they walk that I am not concentrating on the way the garment is moving! Some of them look like they have some kind of cramp in their legs, weird. I find it a good channel to watch when I'm down and need a laugh.

Answer 3

Because human beings don't generally wear these kinds of clothes. Runway fashion shows are fantasy, not reality.

Answer 4

Their walk maximizes the lift and sway of a garment, which shows how it moves. Movement in a garment is a strong part of its appeal to buyers

Answer 5

Their tight skirts do not allow them to walk normally.

So they can, properly make their twirls, swirls, and turns.and bring one foot out from the other, and strike that pose.
