The New Modeling Era
One of the major concerns faced by the fashion capitals across the world is that “models are too thin.” The fashion industry across the globe is buzzing about the fact that more rib cages and vertebra are visible which was a serious issue of concern in the New York fashion week. It just came and went by with very few people taking notice of the underlying problem.
The abnormally thin models project a very unhealthy image for the youth. The norm today has become “Thin is beautiful”, but in reality it isn’t by any standards.
Milan, Italy, the fashion capital of the world has cum up with a solution by asking models to submit a health certificate before being allowed on the ramp. This is similar to the test athletes have to go through. This will immensely help in projecting a healthy and beautiful image in public.
Designers are often blamed for encouraging this concept of “thin is beautiful” which encourages diseases like anorexia, bulimia, psychiatric problems in the young generation who try to emulate the models.
