9 Models on the Pressure to Lose Weight and Body Image | The Models | Vogue 

liz ok!? Anna was somewhere saying: "we have to be relevant" then some dumb assistant on coke hurried up saying "Seeing pretty girls cry is always a safe choice". she took her sunnies down her nose and winked then they all continued partying

I used to have subscriptions to Vogue but not anymore.

They're obviously anticipating some sort of 'Me Too' in the fashion industry and this is for damage control.

liz maybe... just maybe... they’re trying to change.

they didn't contribute to this.. they made all of this. your body must be 'vogue'

my thoughts exactly. I was wondering if the Vogue community manager was attempting🤔 a coup or something with this video

@@moustik31 at least if they'd change their perspective they can say sorry first

@@kumarmahardhika4839 I'd love to see that in my lifetime. there has been too much abuse going on and not enough support for good practices

@@moustik31 same !! keep praying for that miracle happen

Pfff some of them? All of them. Im a model, you are treated as a peace of meat.

@@tequilabumbum4373 humans are meat lol but i get what you are saying

Smrda Mudic then why are you a mode

@@ava_adamsg Cause if i can use my beauty to make money, travl the world,learn languages, it would be stupid not to. Every job is hard and everyone have bosses to handle. So also modelling have many cons but much more pros,thats why I do it.

A myday, I see that you're a person of taste

Two Mydays, I see two people of taste

No just Vogue but you as a consumer also!

For real. I hope this is a starting point for positive change, but I'll believe it when I see it.

yes shade

@@A...M. Hi there. I saw you post this on a number of comments. I hope you know I support models, and adore the women in this video. I support any vocation that women choose. I believe they should be able to have a safe working environment, where their health, creativity, and beauty is upheld and appreciated. And I hope you find a non-exploitative environment for yourself to explore your career.

@@stevietricks4954 Thank you for understanding, us models are not unhealthy, in fact we are the very opposite. And the fashion industry is over time starting to promote body positivity, but more so there is a legitimate reason to why models in some big labels are this certain stature; You know how you get fitted for clothes and how womens' bodies are all different. In fashion shows and such, you don't have enough time to get fitted and have clothes altered. It's go, go, go. Therefore it makes it a whole lot easier for models to all be a single on rack size because if major fashion labels did show case a range of sizes it would take too much time to get all the models' clothes tailored and fitted multiple times. There are only 6 weeks of preparation for a fashion show and that is including castings. And by the time they would finish the season would be over.

EXACTLY

A M 3.5 thousand people here disagree with you. What you are expressing is called Stockholm Syndrome.

@@A...M. and i'm Peter Griffin. We can all pretend!

Very true

It's not just for men though. But yeah it's problematic to create thin n curvy standards

@@Vardagsvegan1 lol

omg thats really bad healthy is like 17 or something

@@amy5270 Healthy is 18.5....😘

@@viceb7 don't be rude... A normal woman is healthy at a BMI of 18.5 or more... Obviously, if you have a lot of muscles, you weigh a lot more. But at every Website with an BMI Calculator, they explain you that it isn't meant for people with a lot of muscles. So just think before you write. These models don't have the amount of muscles like a bodybuilder.

Marina.Green it’s 18.5 to 24 or something ...mine was always 17 and I got so bullied for being too skinny but that was just my body type

@@sharkwater1726 i'm sorry... And i don't mean to offend anyone who is smaller. It's just the official healthy BMI ❤

K. G. J. It’s a form of mental abuse... it’s to recall the emotional trauma and reenforce their slave status... also it effects the viewers like you and me, and others as well... the exploitation and forced slavery under the system which we are all in is happening to us all.. because we are all intricately connected... if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us!

K. G. J. EXACTLY!!!

the models want to make a living out of something they're passionate about. everyone is beautiful. The problem is the problematic people who compare your image to model standards and criticise you for the way you look. It only proves that at any point in a person's life, there can always be insecurity no matter how skinny, curvy, beautiful (the list goes on) they are.

for real like what?

@@hotcheeto1372 Do research into vogue's controversies.

Indeed. They look "woke", by doing this, but you know the industry is unlikely to change their ways.

my thoughs exactly!

Exactly

They are trying to change, it's not as easy as we think. Didn't you see the plus size edition? That's progress

Me too!!

Models should be intelligent enough to know that ...its their job...no one forces them.

@@Aurora-qn2dx some models are actually forced they start working and then lose control of their life because of their strict rules, even when they are pregnant they are starved

@@Aurora-qn2dx I don’t think you can fully prepare yourself for how it feels to be constantly judged and criticised

@@Aurora-qn2dx then it looks to me that you have never seen a model through their point of view

but they are drawn to the industry and they also had the desire...?

Yes she had lots of fans

She isssss

:(

She is also a talented actress and was in a movie called ‘Black Balloon’

Same, I thought she had it all when she was modeling for Chanel and everything when in fact she was in a nightmare.

Emma Almind yup I’m at my heaviest weight witch is 112 and I feel like it’s a bad

models, not every skinny girl on the street

no mija so models r not considered as average people now? okayy...

Fatima Rahmetova that’s not what i meant. models feel fat because they are constantly looked at and they are alway told to lose weight. people don’t do that to any skinny girl in school or on the street. that’s what i meant

no mija it happens to a lot of people actually, especially with these skinny runway girls in the media being seen as “ideal” and “perfect”. my mom notices whenever i gain even a single pound, and a lot of my friends experience the same thing.

i know right such a fake way of them telling us one thing and then doing the other

Some people just eat healthy diet and loose weight. Not all models starve.😊

I think that's the point...for us to pretend like how they are

@@shellylifshin6703 but they're underweight, that's the point. Not healthy...

@Stella S. At 15 the adults responsible for them (parents) Put them in the place to be exploited. Just because a teenager wants something they shouldn't necessarily have it. The older females? Well.....

Omg yes

agreed lol

You should try to get words out of her, it’d be a good learning experience

Sowmya B That is a good idea. I will try and talk to her about it. I just don't want make her feel forced.

Are you implying that "Vogue" is cynically exploiting the "me too" movement for there own financial gains? Shocking...

Yup

bingo!

Couldn't agree more with you.

@@cmulder002why i read this in Meryl Streep in "devil wears prada" voice

the idea of sample size is so outdated to me too. like, yeah when runways was an event that just started off it made sense to have a staple sample size to more easily transport the clothing, but with fashion and runways being a multi billion dollar industry they absolutely can afford to alter sample sizes or have more size diverse runways. and the reality is the primary consumers buying these luxury or couture clothing arent stick thin. they come in various sizes so idk why it would be such a big deal to have models that actually represent the sizes of the consumer base.

j p modeling should not be like that then??? this pressure literally fuels eating disorders and body dysmorphia. it. kills. people. yes it is a business, but maybe we should be caring more about human beings than money.

MAX I half agree and half disagree with what you’re saying. Of course they could alter the sizes, but why would they? It’s easier for them to have one size.

j p why do WE have to accommodate to the sometimes unhealthy measurements so you want everyone to be a size 0??

@j p i never said it should be easy. but modeling is literally to show different items of clothing and accessories on people to advertise. what's the point of making all the models a size 00 if their clothes come in all different sizes?

beautifully said.

As a dude, I agree.

exactly, we need more men like u

Thank you People need to hear and say this more

Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to explain this to my brother. Men have the luxury of being seen for their character and who they are; women don’t. I notice the difference in how I’m treated by men when I’m skinny vs. normal weight. Like a human being, and invisible. It’s heartbreaking and if you are a man, please consider treating all women with decency and respect.

@@iluvduvcamz yeah... but isn’t it sad and wrong that the ideal body type can only be achieved by starvation

that must be heartbreaking

@@gabrielaegas9965 grammar isint the problem here 😘

@@lanbee9116 it was a problem tho

Runaway

It's coz of runways. Coz eventually their face won't matter as they have makeup with weird designs but at the end the body is left so they just force these models to go thin and thin.

Also it is easier to add curves then to take them off. They just want to have something to build of really. It is so sad. Why not just embrace the curves, right?

@@biashoji1099 yaa true

I SCREAMED YES QUEEN YESYESYESYESYES

It's called being on trend.

Maybe they want to change

South Florida Yacht Charters oh for sure they do. I just worry that the motive behind this change is centered more around publicity rather than their genuine desire to promote positive body image. It seems they are just keeping up with popular opinion

Okay this is a bit offense cause I have this measurers by myself. Never trained for it. And you say that’s “unhealthy”?

Lotte Lot nahhh dawg like actually not what I’m saying at all. By unhealthy body image I mean the idea that 1 particular body type is the standard of beauty and consistently only portraying that body type. I can see how the phrasing in my original comment can be confusing. At the end of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder

NAMJOON

lol he didn’t say that

He never said that

He didn't say that, it was an army on army selca day ^^"

Amen to that my Army fam! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Did she fly business?

Does that matter? @@alisalexter4072

It's fine to have skinny models too! Some people are naturally thin. Any body type deserves to be on the cover of vogue :)

Cause bones sell and flesh don't. Or does it? Sales would increase if they focused on beauty. The bigger girls looked pretty stunning to me. Looking at beauty makes me happy. Looking at starving sad girls doesn't.

my mom said I looked better than Patryk 👍

Vogue switched to celeb covers years ago and has featured all sized people on the covers.

@Lynette Scribner Was Cindy Crawford a stick? The 90's models looked like women, not prepubescent little girls. Who are these designers designing for? Grown up women. They buy the clothes. Women come in all shapes and sizes. They should be celebrated and designers need to get with the times or fade away. That's why Victoria Secret is losing customers. The same will happen to high fashion.

Is that a billie eillish reference?

I actually didnt get why the fact people are mad

@@vanillaicecream9026 the us standards are crazy in my opinion 38 is perfect size 36 is so skinny 40 42 44 are curvier but not fat

It’s called sample size, designers only hire models who fit into that sample size to showcase.

You want obese models? Good luck! Even the plus size are a size 10 and air brushed. 😂😂😂😂

38 or 36 is NOT the perfect size and you know it. Shame on you to try to make other women look ugly so you can feel better about yourself.

I swear i was thinking about what billie said in that interview

The media is obsessed with image, not with people beyond it :(

Was she in a relationship with heath?????

i completely agree, it was last year, i was 13 and heavily struggled with bulimia and body dysmorphia. this idea is a great concept but the fact that a vogue posted it and basically fuels this industry is repulsive. however, vogue does have plus sized models. but i don’t see my body type displayed it’s either plus sized or literally stick slim.

Exactly!!!

Dave Daniels, Explain? Sorry but the way you worded that sounded like you’re defending the people encouraging weight-loss eating disorders.

Humans* ruin*

Or we destroy it by not eating enough too much causing health issues.

Your so right

@@itsmekhaiyah8452 Bingo

True.

Exactly

Me too!

Just keep in mind that there are healthy women who, as you said, are """stick thin"""... Be careful using those words, they are just as hurtful as the ones ignorant people use to describe "plus-size" women. A lot of women are genetically more thin (thin-thin btw, or in your words ""stick thin""; not the "perfect ideal skinny" people seem to love), just like a lot of women are genetically more "fat". People should be very careful, because when trying to fix a problem they may create another one. More body diversity for sure needed, but don't exclude """stick thin""" healthy women just because they don't fit with your ideals of beauty... that's exactly the problem you're trying to fix that "plus-size" women have... but, maybe without being aware of it, you're contributing to the same problem the other way around... Thin women are seen as unattractive cuz they're not within the "ideal body type", and your comment proves it...

@@BrunaSantos-kq4pd I agree with you, I'm not a model but I'm very thin, that's my genetic, im healthy, im not underweight and I often get comments like "you should eat more" "you look like an skeleton" "you look anorexic" "you shouldn't exercise, you're going to disappear" "real woman have curves" and those kind of things also hurt you and make you feel insecure about your body, it makes me a little bit sad seeing some people in the comments taking the body positive mesaage wrong and shaming thinner bodies :/

america soto I go through the exact same thing... what people don’t understand is how bad it makes us feel. People wrongly make comments about us exercising, when doctors tell us we have to do it in order go gain weight/muscle. I don’t like wearing dresses and skirts (even though I like them) because of what people say and think about my body. It’s awful... And sometimes it feels like body positivity is a one way thing, because I see a lot of people praising it and then talking badly about our body type... because “we’re unattractive”, “we don’t have any curves”, “all they see is bones”, etc etc... It makes me feel like sh*t

I shall give you my full support.

I'm sure there are some-

doom doesn’t matter, adults can still develop unhealthy eating habits like anorexia and bulimia

@@clownko9773 obviously but young people are going to be more vulnerable

Actually until 25 you still have the mind of a teen just a little developed which is why 25 is the legal age to smoke weed so 21 would still be young and they can develop eating disorders just as easy as someone 16-18

@@cu.ti.3447 i wasn't necessarily talking about eating disorders though. i think at 21 you in general will have a better understanding of the industry, are less vulnerable, less likely to be taken advantage of, less naive etc.

Megan Hughes this is amazing!

I blame it to South-Korea and especially those toxic western K-Pop fans!!

Vogue does have very thin unhealthy looking models in their magazines

Megan Hughes right

Me too. She will always be one of the best for me.

Yes and i wonder in what way she got publicly shamed? Like what happened?

KIM She gained weight after Heath Ledgers death and they called her ‘roll model’

All of these models are heartbreaking not just her

@@inhetbos It was awful, honestly what happened to her was disgusting. She gained weight and when she appeared at a Chanel show in a denim swimsuit a lot of media put her on the front cover and said she was fat. The Daily Mail was particularly vicious, they called her "roll model".

Amen . C'mon @vogue change the standards of beauty you help create.

Well all the jobs that come with fame screw people up most of the time. Think about it. Violinist,modell,actress, celeb ect. The two usually come togeather. You have to be very smart And have to have a very balanced life And bacround to deel with the pressure of even being known by the world

@@hannak.79 Violinist was quite a random one to add there?!? 🤔 Lol

Well any solo musician who is big

If she’s doing it smart than she will be ok. People just have to keep it in mind that modelling is really hard and since it is about YOU it can really hurts your soul to be rejected. You just have to be there for her and help her stay confident

@Charise Bejarano Aww bless you. I think be honest with her, that way it will open her eyes as to what to look out for, and so she can go into it with her eyes wide open. Maybe just start the conversation with,,,,, 'I wouldn't be a true friend if I didn't tell you how I was feeling, because I love you and want the best for you....' I'm sure she'd appreciate you looking out for her :-)

JJsays - 雪莲说 what happened to Gemma ward? I grew up seeing her everywhere & out of nor where I stopped seeing her. 🤔

@@rubyv7231 yooo same and i dont know what happened still

What happened to her?

​@@rubyv7231 Gemma back in the day was the number 1 model when she started gaining weight and losing jobs and the tabloids were calling her FAT even the people in the industry were doing these mean things to her... At the same time her boyfriend (Heath Ledger) died and then she retired with depression when she was only 20, at the top of the industry..

SHeinsh wow that's so heartbreaking. She's such a talented and unique looking model. This industry chewed her up and threw her away when they no longer needed her. To top it all off, they publicly humiliated and shamed her. Seriously, the industry owe an apology to her.

Lauren Jane it’s called evolving

@@KatEssex it's a trend.

Realized they will bait a lot of woke millenials and gain better views

Because body positivity is a trend, because they have run out of ideas and because the market of larger sizes is growing internationally.

for views and cuz its trending

They choose to be models

They chose to do this correct

Yes they are pimped out to Hollywood actors and aristocrats

@@falloutgirl902 Pimped out hmm ? All these horror stories and accusations by models etc , yet women still want to be models . What part of the message is being lost or not getting thru ?

So when will the mass walk out happen ? You know the models walking off the job , till condition's change

I may be wrong but wasn't it also around the time that Heath Ledger died? They were dating at the time, so cruel to mock someone going through such heartache and grief.

power to your Mother! power to you Kay!

No! That would be way too thin. 120lbs at 5ft 9 is very slim but given your mum was 16 was probably healthy at the time. No need to lose more. It's like a drug isn't it? The models get thinner the powers that be want more off. As a person who has battled eating disorders for 40 years, I despair this is allowed to happen.

She didn’t have to go through it.. she chose to pursue modeling

@@georgiareed7743 Okay, but that shouldn’t have happened. You clearly don’t seem to get the point of that comment and judging by your other comments, you are clearly a very ignorant and dumb person.

Mrs. Nightmare you are so on point!

The ppl who make the clothes arent perfect and stick skinny like the clothing they make , which is disturbing. How do ppl enable these things in the world . but it will always keep happening.

well said👌🏽

so so true. clothing should be made to fit people, not the other way around.

so correct

To my eyes it's still fine. They just simply wanted to hate her.

No

Only healthy ranges, plus sized obese seen today should not be glamourised, neither anorexia.

asdabir cashing on it being positive or negative

Even if they are, there still helping the cause, building up consciousness.

Body positivity movement is based on profits. Everything is money... body positivity movement is profiting off of selling more clothes, so, something like that...

Yup I bet even Vogue's unpaid interns are hired based on their weight, age and overall appearance.

MesRevesEnRose You’re so right.

It's funny when people say VS models are curvy and high fashion models are anorexic. I mean VS made Behati skinnier than she ever were in HF lol

VS models actually look like they eat something

VS models are strong and have a lot of weigh training. "high fashion" models are about skin an bones.

uwu im 14 and this is deep uwu

Flamoof yeah but they know what they sign up for (in the sense that they know that they’re being looked at) I don’t think there’s a problem with wanting to be a model

What a great philosopher ...

U did not just quote-

Wow truly inspirational 🤩🤩🤩. Wow Billie’s so deep she’s such a great philosopher.

She is a legend. I was so happy when one of my boys booked a campaign with her

She's the reason I know about high fashion. I hope she's not hurt by the industry anymore. Love you Gemma

but what happened? i didn’t understand it someone explain please

She walked the Chanel spring 2008 show in a swimsuit looking like a healthy girl, but standing next to these younger and thinner girls, the press had a field day. She was going through a lot at that time in her life tho.

paula rudi she happened to gain a bit of weight because she was becoming a woman, she was only 20 years old at the time. She was a healthy girl when the press started to turn on her

Mickaël Valli I’m not sure if this is true and have heard nothing of this, he was one of the few designers that would still cast gemma at that time

I remember this too. Ali Michaels and Gemma Ward were all over Teen Vogue back in the day as an "it" girl - then suddenly, one day. *poof* gone. I recall being a huge fan of them back in high school. Ali Michaels was known for her thick brows and Gemma for her "alien" beauty and being confused when i could no longer see them in subsequent issues.

Liza Bright she got the best and the worst

And yet she still went back...

@@Gay-Icon Basic abuse dynamic.

@@lizabright8940 true. Anyway they're disgusting for how they did her. The fashun industry is a cesspool.

What actually happened??

If only that was true...

Not true AT ALL

If you use “skinny” for the petit models why can’t you just say “fat” for the plus size models? Lmaooo

i agree that a larger percentage of plus sized models are happier than the petite models.

usually models have to be extremely skinny which takes a lot of unnecessary pain and starving but plus size models are different, they were accepted as a model for being who they already are and staying healthy. so of course they're happier.

I loved her as a teenager. Heart breaking to see she was in a horrible place.
