Every girl dreams about being a high fashion model. In the world of high fashion couture, being stick thin is a common occurrence. Every girl poses and struts down the runway with not an ounce of fat on their body. Advertisements, like this Dolce & Gabbana one, are found in every young girl’s favorite magazine. All the girls look the same, tall and skinny. What about the average looking girl? Where is she? Well she’s definitely not modeling for Dolce & Gabbana’s ad or walking for the runway for Chanel in their spring fashion show.
I remember growing up always wanting to be a model, but my 5 foot stature and average weight meant I would never be allowed to model for any high fashion brand. According to the Association of Model Agents, female models should be around 34"-24"-34" and 5 ft 9 inches with a slender body shape. So is this what people think is beautiful? Is being thin and tall the norm? If so, then I’m the complete opposite along with many other young girls. Is our society leading us to believe that only these girls are beautiful?
