In recent years, the media have been making strides to expose the modeling industry so that real people do not aspire to physical and aesthetic goals that are not real. In a continued effort to show the truth about the fashion industry, here are 10 things we no longer want to see on models.
Super Push-Up Bras
Many of the stick-thin models we see on runways today are wearing super push-up bras, taking whatever small amount of fat they have left on their chests and magnifying it. But this gives women and girls the illusion that you can be drastically underweight and still have boobs, which is rarely true. If women could see that we mostly lose our breast tissue when underweight, they might be a little more hesitant to get too skinny!
Hipbones Holding Pants Up
Hipbones holding pants up Hipbones are not meant to hold your pants up, like two little shelves jutting out of the skin. We don’t want to see that anymore. Hipbones are a part of your skeleton, which should be mostly padded with fatty tissue and flesh — that’s what protects your organs. We’d like to see less hipbones that protrude out past the tummy
Collarbones You Could Grab Like Handles
A woman’s collarbones are beautiful. Most women, even at a healthy weight, will have apparent collarbones. You don’t need to be stick thin to have this elegant feature. It’s terrifying seeing collarbones that protrude so much, you swear you could fit your grip around them.
Size 6 Dress, Clipped At The Back
That ad you’re looking at might say the model is wearing size 6 and, and she may in fact be draped in a size 6 dress, but it’s been clipped several times at the back to fit her size 0 body. It’s a gross misrepresentation to make people believe a size 0 is a size 6
Size 00 Eating A Chessburger
Don’t try to fool us: the model in that commercial doesn’t take one bite of that burger. If she does, she probably spits it out immediately after the take. Portraying women with supermodel, stick-thin bodies eating cheeseburgers in fast food ads will quickly have young girls believing they can eat nutrition-void, calorie-loaded food and be in good shape. The ad is just spinning the lie that thin people regularly eat fast food.
Workout Clothes On Frail Women
We no longer want to see frail, size 00 women with sinews popping out of their arms and the shape in their buttocks completely gone from lack of muscle mass sporting workout clothes down the runway. They haven’t had the strength to work out in years. We want to see workout clothes on women with toned, strong muscles, and vitality in their faces. We want to see those clothes on women who look like they eat a diet that could actually support a workout.
Space Under The Cloth
If we wanted to see what clothing looked like on a hanger, we would just go to the store. We watch fashion shows or look at ads to see how clothing looks on a body—a real one. So we no longer want to see models swimming in the clothes they’re advertising. That gives us absolutely no idea of how those pants make a woman’s butt look, or how that blouse accentuates a waist.
Large Fake Breasts On Size 0
Size 0 models with large fake breasts spew the same lie as the intense push-up bras on tiny models: it tells women and girls that you can be underweight and still have great breasts. Women need to know the truth: if they decide to lose almost all their body fat, they lose the boobs too.
Space Between The Inner Arm and Outer Rib
When a woman—a grown woman—rests her arms at her sides, the fleshy inner part of her arm should press against or at least touch the outer side of her rib cage. It should be fleshy in the first place. The only place in nature where you see a gap between those two parts of the body is on girls 12 years and younger. When women are eating enough, their arms round out slightly.
Size The Designer Actually Doesn't Make
To see triple-zero dresses on models wearing clothes made by a designer who only sells sizes 2 and up in stores, is a complete joke. What the designer is essentially saying is that no woman who would fit into his designs is good enough to model them.
