What do you know about this? Apparently John Galliano a designer, chose 'normal' looking models rather than the classic thin, tall and beautiful models we are used to see strutting in the catwalk. The models included overweight, short, normal looking and old people.

Tried to find an article/pictures but couldn't find any... sorry!

i dont like it because people are going to focus on the models and how unique they are rather than the clothes they're modeling. i think its easier for designers to only have tall, thin models because when they're making their clothes for the fashion shows, they don't have to customize each and every piece of clothing.
and there's nothing wrong with being tall and skinny. some people cant help it so please don't go calling it ugly.




now everyone is going to want to be a model and the shows will be a contest of who has the most wide range of people rather than whos got the nicest designs. yay! [/sarcasm]

What's wrong with more people wanting to model? Finally opportunities are opening up for a wider variety of people. Finally the "perfect size 0" trend is fading. This is a milestone for the fashion industry.

And it kind of is ugly when so many girls starve themselves of curves and beauty. I'll take my size 6 over a 0 any day, thank you very much. It's a bit hard to believe that girls are naturally that sickly, frail, and weak looking. There's so much more behind just a "fast metabolism".
