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 think it was a great thing to do. Not everyone is tall and anorexic thin. Why should a size 0 be defined as the only beauty? I personally think that most of the size zero models are disgusting. People who say that these girls are beautiful have obviously not been backstage at a fashion show where diet pills and anorexia are a common thing where you can see every single bone in their body. Curves are beautiful, and just because they are overweight or old doesn't mean they can't be. Modeling isn't only about being beautiful, in fact there are many beautiful girls who can't do it because it takes confidence not being tall and thin.
Sorry a bit of a rant there. But i think it's an amazing thing he is doing. edit // I found the article: John Galliano Spring 2006 Collection |

But i think it's an amazing thing he is doing. Well great then. I'm 'disgusting' and I can't even f**king help it because I was born that way. I know a girl who suffered from anorexia for a while, and my size zero pants were huge on her. I would never praise or advertize anorexia as something that is attractive, but I do believe in giving people who suffer from it support, not ridiculing them or talking down on them for something they have little control over, something that has taken over their life. What's disgusting is how people like you make assumptions about models and people who are thin. I don't (and never did) have an eating disorder. I'm 5'7 and 112 lbs. My doctor has never even mentioned me being too thin. I'm not against John Galiano. I just think it's rude for people to critisize people who can't help how thin they are. You say that being a size zero shouldn't be defined as beauty? Well my boyfriend thinks I'm beautiful. My friends think I'm beautiful. I think I'm beautiful. Just a bit of a rant. |
