dont u think that the modeling industry had made a good choice to finally hav more curvy and plus size models?

Question

plus, do u like the curvy and plus sized models or the very thin ones?could u tell why also

10 points!!!

i mean, they just look like they havent eaten in their entire lives!!! it just sickens me to watch them somtimes walk the runway looking beautiful, yet their body is always the imperfection. plus getting thin in hollywood is already taking a bad impression on the hollywood actresses
it just really saddens me that alot of girls are getting obsessed in getting thin,and thin as a pencil is just really disgusting to me

Answer 1

I get the feeling I'm going to be unpopular for saying this, but yes - but only a bit.

Firstly, I want to see normal body sizes. This means no one who's so small and thin that they'd break if the wind blew too hard. I want to see good nutrition and for models to be the picture of health. This means none of the skinny low-BMI figures... but I don't really want to see amazingly curvaceous plus-size models either.

Think about it this way; the sight of stick-thin bodies with bones sticking out and bobbleheads and sucked-in cheeks is as horrid as the sight of fat rolling out. I'm not going to sit down and say thin models are ugly, lets have fat, because in actuality I doubt people want either. I just want normal sized people. I want healthy people. This means anything below a size 6 would be weird (I'm in the UK, my sizes are different from you americans) just as anything over an 18 at the most, perhaps, would be just as off. If only standard modelling sizes would be 10-12 then I'd be happier.

Suffice to say, yay to no more stupidly skinny models. Yay to healthy models. That doesn't mean plus size models are going to take the catwalks by storm. I just want to see healthy beautiful people. *Healthy*. Not anorexic *or* obese.

Answer 2

I have never liked the skeletor heroin addict look, and have always wished the models were more ... how do you say ... voluptuous. I think that curvy represents more of what women want to be, as opposed to marketing what they don't want to be. Yeah, I understand that some get offended because they can't achieve the same results, but no one promises that every person can be pleased in one pass. Different approaches for different markets.

Plus sizes are ok, but there is a limit to how "plus". I say if you can't define where the body is under the layers of "plus", and you can't make out where the musculature curves actually start, then there is too much "plus".

But that's my opinion.

Answer 3

There's nothing sexy about being plus sized and curvy(a term used to positively describe your rolls of fat) okay people. Quit blaming the modeling industry for your low self-esteim brought on by your's and ssemingly just about everyone elses inability to pull away from the dinner table. If you want the subscription and attendance rates to go down for the magazines and shows then keep on gripin' Turn what is supposed to be a world of fantasy and exceptional beauty into nothing more then a collection of average plump girls next door and there'll be no reason to pay attention to them anymore, because you will have dummed it all down to the point where there's nothing special about any of the quote un quote models, cause they'll look exactly like the fat *** sitting next to you. Pull away from the table, exercise every now and then and quit blaming others for your problems.

Answer 4

i definately believe that the modeling industry made a very good choice about having more plus size models because a lot of people look down on other people just because of their weight. i think thats totally wrong and i think the modeling industry allowed heavier girls to be models gave other plus size women alot of self-confidence and showed them that just because their "heavier" they can be just as beautiful as the skinnier models. A lot of models out there are pencil thin and I really don't know anyone who thinks that they look sexy, they look sickly... so for that reason i would have to give a lot more credit for the plus sized models for getting out there and not being ashamed of their bodies.

Answer 5

Yes. For 1, most of the models looked like they needed to eat for once in their lives, 2, everyone isnt a size 0,1,2,3 etc. I THINK the average size woman may be a size 7/8 and up. I never understood how a 6 foot tall skeleton with designer clothes is sexy or glamorous to anyone. It looks sick and nasty to me....I dont get it. If they are going to update the models, I think they should target the AVERAGE size woman, and average isn't a size 0. We need to know what the clothes will look like on us, not a stick figure.

Answer 6

Actually, they haven't made that choice. The only campaign that features real women is the Dove Real Beauty campaign.

A few countries have banned models with low BMI's - but that means a 5'6" woman can still weigh only 112 pounds and be accepted. (Average weight for this height is 130 lbs.)

Some progress is being made, but we still have a long way to go. I think there will eventually be a backlash, and heavier, curvier women will be everywhere.

Answer 7

I'll keep this short, which is rare for me.

A principal cause of the incredible lack of self-esteem in most people - especially women - is the image that is projected of a desireable woman.

The women in Cosmo and Vogue, etc., are not real. No image of them can be trusted. Make up, hair, skin, computer manipulation - all these are used to cover up the plainness of the models.

I wholeheartedly think that it's about frigging time that more curvaceous women become popular again. Look at films of the fifties and sixties - women back then looked REAL. They had big boobs and they had hips and they were knockouts.

Answer 8

Curvy models, not too heavy. Average looking women/men. Because those super thin models make me feel sick when I look at them. If the models are too thin then I rather not buy the clothes they are wearing because the company is projecting false images of the people that are wearing them.

Answer 9

OF COURSE!!! I mean, we should still keep using thin models, but we should also include women of the REAL WORLD; so we can actually see ourselves in the clothes we see modeled on the runway.

Answer 10

I heard that it was only the italian designers that were asking the models to be more curvier. I wont lie i used to read mademoiselle as a teenager and I thought that the clothes looked so much better. I still in a way feel that way and that is only because the designers wont let us see what a couture gown would look like on a size 12.
