Fashion Modeling
Pressures of Fashion Modeling
Every year we see more cases of models being unhealthy, skinnier, and dying from stress or anorexia in the news. But we also see many young girls trying to follow their steps to look like them. Is it really that easy to be part of the fashion industry? Or have they tricked us into think it’s all so effortless and fun and that having a gorgeous body will solve all your problems when it is not.
The job of a fashion model is to pose in clothing and accessories and try to display them as attractively as possible so that people will want to buy these products. And what many companies or fashion designers think is that the skinnier the model is, the better it will be. I think they don’t see that they have overweight customers too, in either clothes or magazines. A recent study showed us that most of the fashion magazines we buy, like teen Vogue, Vogue or Glamour, are filled with ads with gorgeous models on them instead of having interesting information in articles that might help us in the future.
The chances of becoming a super model are the same as to winning the lottery. Just imagine all the teens in the world dreaming to be the next Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss or Heidi Klum, well I bet they’re a lot but not all of them have what it takes to be part of this industry like physical qualities, determination, commitment, stamina, confidence of course and good humor. Agencies are always searching for girls they think will photograph well and those with a natural beauty. Some girls that may not be very outstanding manage to turn it on for the camera and look amazing in photographs. Many of the successful models we know had never thought about modeling until they were discovered because agents can be in a restaurant, streets, and malls just looking for the next “IT” girl. Many times not all of these agents are real. Some of these agents or agencies are run by scam artists who are only interested in taking every last cent you have. They
