the thing you need to realize is that RUNWAY models are different from print/TV models.

They are not the normal "beautiful"... they are there to have thin lean bodies to show guests at the fashion shows how the clothes lay on a human. They are expected to be walking maniquins... thats it.

I think that is a GREAT thing that they are doing that because a lot of clothes are fitted for girls with no curves top or bottom

i think mannequins are thicker than these girls are. you're right they aren't the normal beautiful, they aren't beautiful at all. how can they show off how the clothes lay on a human when they look like walking skeletons? the normal human body does not look like that.

I am sorry to say this and do not want to offend anyone, but from the few folks i have spoken with in the fashion industry.. they say no one wants to see "heavy" girls walk down a runway. I think i am fairly thin and i look like a heffer next to most runway models. Its just beacause they (designers) want people to focus on the clothes. not the models.

The designers, I think, tend to forget the fact that the clothes are to be worn by actual human beings.

See, most of the time, that is not correct. The big names in fashion usually design clothes (Ready-to-wear or Haute Coture) for 1% of people. Most cannot afford a button from these designers and just have most clothes at runway shows for "show". not really to wear. To those that CAN afford them... well, they are usually celebs and socialites that are stick thin anyways.

If you notice, brands/stores that actually have clothes that many folks can buy, they have more "normal" looking models.

So, you are either Rich or want to be one of these ultra think vomit producers.

I sure hope you are not ASSuming something about me.

I love fashion, know a lot about it and am poor.
It was a discussion of WHY there are skinny models. i told you. :roll:

I understand that for some reason fashion designers like their $20k dresses on He-man's nemesis, but I would think that the curves of a womans body would make a dress look better. I must be wrong otherwise gay men wouldn't be getting millions designing for girls whose height in inches is exceeds their weight in pounds.
