alrighty, just read the blurb for an article on the Adbusters site:
"An Evolving Sense of Beauty
After years of celebrating bone-thin models, the fashion industry is finally taking a stand against thinness."what i'd like to hear everyone's 2cents about is:
are they really making a stand against something they perpetuated (and not on their own) or simply bowing down to public pressure. also, what are the actual percentages of industry actually doing this?anyone in advertising or fashion that could shed some light / views?
(obviously i'm just an angry fat chick to tart this thread).

models will always be skinny. people like looking at skinny people. they sell things better.
- so the article is complete shite then.airey
- Actually, I don't like skinny models. Nothing freaks me out more than bony wrists and ankles.detritus
- yeah, attractive, thin models are so ugly. give me a hoeffer.doesnotexist
- Is it either/or with you, then?
How sad to see someone completely subsumed by media's hyper-reality.detritus - You see how you immediately equate 'attractive' with skinny?detritus
- hahaha, ahhh who the fuck even cares anyways, seriously.doesnotexist

public pressure. At least their being honest when they are showing coked up, underage looking girls.

I vaguely recall something about Madrid banning thin models on their catwalks. Who 'Madrid' is, I don't know.

^ the whole concept of them shifting to 'bigger' models is just stupid. it will be a phase. people need beautiful, thin models to look at, it's a symbol of what society believes beauty is.

or we can all feel better about getting fat and dying young from clogged arteries. role models make it easier for me to let go.
- you don't need a role model to let yourself go. I do that everyday without them.doesnotexist

they'll still be thin, just not skeletal

the 'fashion industry' isn't some unified single thinking thing, all this means is a general change in attitudes in the market place so now they think it's time to advertise the fact. less anarexia more body is all this means. no more heroin addicts, it's too 90s. i saw one of those articles about the subject, and really this shit is mostley just something to talk about to generate more attention on something that is an attention whore to begin with, and they showed an example of a 'larger woman' who was just a skinny model with big tits.
